USA's legal drama Suits just began filming its sixth season in this week.

With the help of the show's wardrobe stylist Jolie Andreatta, the on-screen style is divine (especially Harvey Specter's (Gabriel Macht) endless Tom Ford attire) and we often find ourselves coveting nearly every outfit we see on the screen.

As simple and classic as a cardigan and pencil shirt may be, Andreatta has that special touch of making it all seem effortless. According to The Tig, a few of the labels she uses includes Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, and, of course, many Christian Louboutin pumps.

Fashion aside, the popular show is American but has a few quirky Canadian fashionable connections as well.

FILMING
Although the show is supposed to be based in New York City, the majority of the filming is done in Toronto, Canada (deemed one of the most stylish cities in the country). The show features the well-known Bay Adelaide Centre, and often enough viewers can see the TCC street cars in the background.

BFF's
Meghan Markle who plays Rachel Zane on the show is good friends with fashion strategist Jessica Mulroney (who is married to e-talk's Ben Mulroney, son of the former Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney), who styles Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the wife of our current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

COLLABS
Sarah Rafferty who plays Donna Paulsen on the show recently collaborated with Vancouver designer MEZZI, for their Cosima bag. The bag features smart technology and can charge your smartphone and iPad. MEZZI fits the show's vibe to a tee with it's modern clean lined aesthetic.
