I recently had the opportunity to travel to Houston, TX for work and I had one day where I needed to wear more of a busy causal look. I decided to put this look together combining different patterns and textures to create this unique fit. I wanted to share the details of the look with all of you to show and encourage you to venture out to combine unlikely elements to create a "style mixology"! Comment below and tell me what you think!

Monkstrap Shoes: Hudson

Gingham Shirt: Thomas Pink

Watch: NIXON

Tie: Geoffrey Beene

Trousers: Nautica

Vest: Madison

Let me Per"Suede" You: Suede Shoes in the Summer

I am asked this question all the time "Can you wear suede in the Summer?" Absolutely, my rule of thumb when it comes to wearing suede in the Summer is avoid wearing suede boots and avoid Fall or Winter type colors. Otherwise, go for suede year around. Check out some of the great suede options and post your  comments below!
