You know what they say about a getting your wardrobe right – a man must have one perfectly tailored suit in his closet. Whoever said that was probably so old he never lived to see Lanvin do menswear.

However, if dressing up in head-to-toe Lanvin seems as achievable as being awarded a Nobel Prize in theoretical physics, how about some accessories that would add some vieille riche charm to that well-fitting but otherwise bland three-piece?

A deep blue or burgundy of pair of Oxfords, a croc skin envelope clutch or a flower tie pin paired with that forever suit can show the world that while you value traditional sartorial rules, you also know how to add a dash of drama to your outfit.
