Suit Supply MTM Suit: Reflections
This is a part of a series on an MTM 3 piece suit made for me by Suit Supply.

Ties I've Learnt to Avoid

In this new collection, I would be introducing you all to different outfits that could bridge the gap between semi-formal and casual outfits; or in other words 'smart casual'.
