Here a conventionally-cut tweed suit has been given the wearer's own personal style. He has done this in many ways - by, for example, wearing the suit on the small side, turning up the trousers, buttoning up the lowest button of the waistcoat, assuming a mournful expression, wearing a hat, and so on; there are many aspects to his creation of this look.

Maybe there are some ideas here for you to adopt in creating your own personalised style.
