Buying a suit is more than a luxury, it is a fashion investment that you can wear it for different formal occasions. If you want people to take you seriously, especially when doing business, the validity of suits cannot be overlooked. Every man should have suits in his wardrobe. They should be well-fitted and tailored to fit his style. The basic colours of suits: black, grey and brown can be mismatched to create another fashion statement. With this in mind, let us take a look at modern ways to wear a suit:
1. Roll it up
If the aim is to smarten up your transitional wardrobe for the changeable in the coming months, consider layering a lightweight roll neck under your suit jacket.
2. Layering
The best approach is to layer. Slide a well-fitting track jacket – preferably from a non-football-hooligan brand – underneath your blazer.
3. Wear with a Tee
A suit with a T-shirt is now a bona fide menswear combo. Yet despite the big comeback, there are still guidelines to follow.
4. Finish with boots
Boots can underpin a slimline suit, particularly when combined with roll necks, skinny ties and the like.
5. All black
The important thing here (aside from fit) is to ensure whatever you layer under your jacket is the same shade of black. Any variation in tone will make whichever item is lighter appear as though it has faded.
6. Check you out
There are plenty of subtle checks available for the less sartorially adventurous, but when it comes to more noticeable squares, try keeping things simple.
7. Split it up
Combining jackets and trousers from different suits gives you almost endless options to mix ‘n’ match, resulting in a memorable look without falling foul of the dress code.
8. Jacket in
Ditching the suit jacket in favour of a leather biker or a field jacket in nubuck or waxed cotton channels an effortlessly cool rockabilly vibe, and is a smart choice for men who want to bring an edge to their formal wear.
9. Give it a kick
Done properly, swapping smart shoes for a pair of sneakers looks extremely contemporary and is a perfect way to switch from on-the-clock to after-hours.
