With the move from formal suits to business casual attire in many workplaces, dressing well has become more intricate. To avoid the pitfalls of the standard business casual uniform—white shirts and navy chinos—follow our guide to create a versatile, timeless wardrobe that makes dressing your best effortless. Here are four essential “rules” for pairing jackets and trousers:
- Opt for Textured Fabrics
The fabric you select is key to your suit’s versatility. Although worsted wool is a classic choice, its sleek and formal finish can limit its use as separates. Instead, explore fabrics like linen, high-twist wool, hopsack, or flannel. These textures add character to your suit, making it suitable for various occasions. - Choose a Soft Silhouette
The structure of your suit significantly impacts its versatility. A soft silhouette with a relaxed jacket construction and soft shoulders gives a more casual look, enabling the jacket to be worn with other items for different occasions.
Pick Versatile Colors
When choosing fabric colors and patterns, focus on versatility. Colors like midnight
- blue, cream, light grey, and green are timeless and can be easily coordinated with different shirts and trousers. These shades help ensure that your suit remains stylish and adaptable over time.
