After last weeks Pattern-Frenzy, this week gentlemen, should you choose to accept, you are challenged to put together your most elegant combination of non-patterned items. Take inspiration from the casual style of Mr Marzotto in his cotton DB, through to the timeless class of proper evening dress. Any fabrics that resolve to a solid are permitted, be it herringbone or pick n' pick, birdseye or donegal. Play with your textures, your tone and your colour. Take heed of Beau Brummell, Only the elegant shall survive!​
