This is how you can wear your slacks, vest or jacket every day
A three-piece suit is sometimes just a little too much. You want to look neat at your cousin's party, but it's ultimately about him. And if you have to give a presentation, you certainly don't want the atmosphere to be too formal. Fortunately, you can also wear the pants, vest and jacket of your suit in combination with other garments. This way, you will look good without looking overdressed.
A composite suit. This is what is called when you wear your jacket, pants or vest in combination with another piece of clothing. How you do this depends on your style. Of course, there are a few things you can pay attention to. We have listed them for you.
1. From composed to one piece
With a composed suit, it should obviously not look like you just pulled something out of the closet. If you want to make a whole outfit, choose a shirt, tie and pocket square from the same color family. Combine burgundy with brown tweed, for example, so everything blends in nicely. Are you someone for whom it can't get crazy enough? Then we have another piece of advice: purple and yellow will go a long way 😉
2. Food for thought
Look carefully at the fabrics. A jacket with a light texture goes with pants made of a smoother material. Looking for something that's comfortable? A cashmere pullover always blends in easily. By the way, be careful with linen jackets in the summer. Don't wear linen pants underneath, but pull out your cotton chinos. Looks much better.
3. Keep it simple
Black pants with a gray jacket and a white shirt boring? Not at all. Your composed suit is already different than usual, so you don't have to do much more to look dressed up. Instead, the trick is to keep it simple. So can be fine, that "boring" black-gray-white!
4. Check: always good
A plaid jacket is always good. But you have to be a real fashion king to combine one plaid with another. If you miss the mark, you'll miss the mark big time. Our advice? Play it safe: wearing plain pants under your plaid jacket will make you look like a boss anyway 🙂 .
5. Hip, but not hippy
Bright colors are trendy, but not always classy. If you still want to wear that bright red pullover, combine it with a jacket from the same color family and gray pants. That way you'll be hip, but not a hippie 😉
