Style It Out - Suiting
NEW SUIT RULES FOR HIM
And we’re back! We can all agree that our suiting skills have been sitting on the sideline for a while but with the resurgence of weddings, parties and vacations the time has finally come to slip into something a little more formal. Whilst men’s traditional tailoring with a shirt will never get old, there are many modern ways to diversify your outfits, maximize your style potential and continue to wear your favorite pieces for years to come. Looking to breathe new life into a spring suit? Try playing with a new color palette or add a chain necklace and some summer sandals. If you’re thinking of something more outside the box, look to denim shirts, bucket hats or even sweatshirts. Put simply, the rules are that there are no rules — just get your suit back out there and have fun.
Read on for more inspiration on how to style your suit. Â
