When it comes to leisure, keep it casual, says Tom Tailor's Dieter Holzer

Dieter Holzer, CEO, Tom Tailor, says light colours are going to be favourites:

My style

My look can be defined as clean, modern and classical. But with a casual touch. I love a timeless classic style that works today, yet evokes a bygone time.

The essentials

Every man needs to have a pair of denims that suits his body type. A good fitted white shirt is a must too. Another staple is a classic dark blue jacket — he can find multiple uses for it. A grey knitted sweater for the chillier months, and of course, a nice pair of sneakers.

Weekend style

When it comes to leisure, I like to keep it casual. On the weekend, you will find me sporting the classic jeans, shirt and sneaker combo.

Spring calling If you want to stay on trend, then the colours for Spring 2015 are predominantly light. Light blue, grey and beige are spring favourites.

On a tropical holiday

My four essentials for summer are a cotton T-shirt, a pair of swim shorts, a pair of chinos (I prefer Tom Tailor) and a white shirt.

Celeb speak

I think that Aditya Roy Kapur and Monica Dogra have a great sense of style. They know what works for them and their sense of self comes through in what they wear.

That one thing

If there's one thing that can make a man's outfit stand out, it's a valuable watch. Or a nice car.

Fashion advice

The best fashion advice I can impart is something I picked up from the legendary Donna Karan. She said, "Delete the negative; accentuate the positive." A powerful statement to live by.
