Here I  go everywhere in a suit or part thereof. Suit yourselves ( had to). There are so many suiting opportunities jogging around and no-one is exempt from their adaptability. Perhaps on a colder day than the one when this was shot, I will actually tuck something into the trousers, but as you can see, I’m so fly that I don’t even check stuff… Do you like this look?

Mrs V gives this ‘coming to a store near you’ ‘devil’s in the detail’ heads up for SS 2017 It’s as well to know what’s coming your way. Forewarned is forearmed don’t ya know.

All of the scarves and wraps here are from Wallace Sewell.
