This is awesome…I love the way he puts himself together. It is so true what you’re saying about prints. I’ve really started to love matching prints…I like the floral and paisley. I occasionally do some stripes as well. I’ve recently started to get a lot of attention with my style and it’s because I pay attention to the little details and read little articles like these. Keep them coming.
