We take a peek in the closet of restaurateur Emmanuel Nony, the dapper owner of Sepia.

Rules of Style

1. Tailor, tailor, tailor.
"A well-fitting suit, even if it's a plain black suit, always looks great." He knows that Armani and Zegna suits fit his physique well with few adjustments; suits from Dolce & Gabbana, however, tend to require more alterations.

2. Buy texture and pattern.
His closet is full of blazers, ranging from seersucker to pinstripe to a more casual Diesel  plaid with a purple D stripe. Ties are sleek, some puckered. "Playing with color and texture makes an outfit much more interesting."

3. Keep accessories simple.
"I wear accessories to complement the outfit, not make the outfit. A Gucci belt, a Cartier watch, some vintage cuff links."

4. Find a signature color combo.
Nony's favorite duo is baby blue and chocolate. "I tend to start with the suit, and then accent it with a shirt and tie that color coordinate, and use diferent designers to emphasize different parts. Sometimes an Issey Miyake suit doesn't need much more than a blue shirt."
