shoes wear a brown belt. Now, when trying to make a statement, there are a number of accessories you can wear. Be careful though, don’t wear too many, it just looks too busy and ruins the suit. An example of some of the accessories are waistcoats, pocket watches, braces and pocket squares to name but a few. Mix and match these different accessories to find the combination that suits you and your personality best. The great thing you can do with accessories is that you can swap what you wear together and add a bit of variation to a single suit. This is great if you don’t have many suits but they can also really make you stand out. I personally am a fan of the waistcoat and pocket watch combination but obviously this isn’t to everyone’s taste and you should decide for yourself.

These general rules can also apply to a part suit look. For example, a jacket and shirt with a pair of chinos or jeans is a strong look, especially for younger men. The key to all of this is to have fun, play around with things and relax into the suit. This, along with a few of the simple rules I’ve tried to outline here and you will have no problems picking and wearing a great suit. I’d just like to thank D’office Threads for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. If anyone wants to ask me any questions or wants advice, don’t hesitate to email me on [email protected].
