When shopping for men’s suits, it’s essential to think about where you’re going to be wearing your new look. Are you going to a formal black tie event? Or seeking a lighter suit for summer weddings? Our practical style advice can help you choose the perfect suits for men.
For smart casual occasions, you’ll want to look stylish and well-groomed but not necessarily business-like. Ideal for social events or office environments, a casual suit blazer or overshirt is the perfect choice paired with chinos or tailored trousers and Chelsea boots or loafers.
For business formal occasions, classic work attire like men’s dark suits in navy, grey or black are perfect for formal meetings and smarter offices. Pair your men’s designer suit with a white or light blue Oxford button-down shirt, a smart tie and black or dark brown leather brogues. Add a matching Michael Kors belt for the ultimate polished 9-to-9 look.
To master a formal, black tie dress code common for weddings, galas and upscale dinners, classic men’s black suits fit the bill. Typically worn after 6pm, dinner suits for men can feature satin lapels and look oh-so-slick styled with a white shirt (with either a pleated or plain front), tuxedo vest or cummerbund and patent black leather dress shoes to match the formality of your men’s suit. A silky bow tie is the final handsome flourish for this polished black tie look.
