Suits today are more youthful, lean and trim, coordinated with narrower ties and spread collar shirts.
Colour-wise, a rich palette of tans and grays dominate. Clothing is lighter than ever before. Where the standard spring suit weight used to be 260g, today it is 220g – making suits far more wearable; comfort and performance are the standard.
Wear colorful, bold shirts and neckwear to complement neutral-colored suits.

from Wiki “A top hat, silk hat, cylinder hat, chimney pot hat or stove pipe hat (sometimes also known by the nickname “topper”) is a tall, flat-crowned, broad-brimmed hat worn prior to and including the 19th and early 20th centuries. Now, it is usually worn only with morning dress or white tie, as servants’ or doormen’s livery, or as an anachronistic fashion statement.”

Speech by Michael Mercanti, a Toronto-based handmade line of rugged “pirate chic” jewellery has found its way onto the pages of Teen Vogue, refinery29′s pipeline and is well endorsed throughout the blogsphere.
Nails and screws that look like they’ve been pulled out of a wall; swords and daggers and even mini Manolos and Louboutins adorn leather and chains – rock ‘n roll embellishments, if you will mainly for men but equally striking on babes (although apparently a line for women is in the works).
Speech also has t-shirts available >> check the website for more info.
