Designer Neil Barrett says creating tour costumes for singer Justin Timberlake was effortless.

The designer has been dressing the "Holy Grail" hitmaker since 2008 and says creating his tour outfits comes naturally because they share the same classic style with an urban twist.

"I particularly like Justin's personal style. For me, it's like his music: a combination of urban/street with classical, which is the same as my design ethos. It's a hybrid of sartorial elements," contactmusic.com quoted Barrett as saying.

The designer's snazzy suits were last seen on Justin during his "20/20 Experience" world tour and they worked closely together to ensure the outfits looked as cool as they were comfortable.

"Justin's been wearing my designs for some time now and we've worked together sufficiently for both of us to understand each other - fit, fabrics and design," he said.
