Fundamentals: Patterns

Though the basics of colour coordination may be grasped intuitively an understanding of how to coordinate patterns is not as easily acquired.

Summer Lovin’

I’m definitely more of a winter guy, a characteristic my wardrobe tends to reflect. So when it comes to dressing for the heat I battle, but over the summer I’ve begun to try and work on it. What better opportunity then on Sunday, when I’m heading to work and it’s 33°.
