Today's inspiration underlines versatility and the right use of patterns and color. In terms of outerwear, a single-breasted navy blue overcoat is a safe choice that is suitable to be worn over a suit for the office as well as it is with some denim and knitwear for those casual weekend getaways. A lightweight and unstructured wool-suit featuring a subtle overcheck pattern can easily be combined as separates and there really is no choice that would be more versatile than a light blue button-up shirt. It's been said that one should never have more than three different patterns in one outfits. In case any of the pattern is even a bit on the bold side I would personally make that...

As an inspiration boost for the weekend a quick look into the fall and winter collection for this season by Italian Tagliatore.

Suitable for office - and by dropping the tie and square totally appropriate for casual wear as well.

Starting the week by taking a look of the fall and winter 2015 collection by Italian Boglioli that was not shown at Pitti Uomo but presented the collection in Milan just recently. For the recent fall and winter Boglioli had studied and been inspired by the elegance of Milanese men of the 1960's - and it seems that the same theme has served as a platform of inspiration for this collection as well. Casual interpretation of a tailored overcoat and example of how to make a difference with textures. Monochromatic in brown - in case looking for a versatile suit this would be a good option as it can also easily be worn as separates. Classic grey flannel chalk-striped suit dressed down...
