To achieve that perfect photo finish, just remember that it’s all in the detail.

Start off by turning up the volume and experimenting with fabrics when it comes to your suit wear – think plaids, velvets and blocked colours this season. This black and white plaid suit from M.J. Bale is perfect for the charming Melbourne man. If you’re more of risk-taker, this red and white vintage-inspired set from Calibre will make you stand out on the track.

Next, add vibrant socks, cufflinks and a suave pocket square to finish off your outfit with a timeless gentleman’s touch. If you’re tired of your monochromes, take inspiration from Politix instead and add a floral flair to your outfit in the form of a quirky pin or patterned tie.
