Does It Suit You....Yes!

Here's a fact: Before I was a stylist and personal shopper, I was in the men's wear business for many years. The suit business was on life support even before 2020, but now it's NEVER been more relevant.

Shake Off That Fleece and Get DRESSED

It is time to shake off that fleece and get DRESSED. This can mean total comfort and flexibility. The way you wear your suit now can be totally different, as fresh and inventive as you will allow yourself to be. I firmly believe you should buy a couple of new suits for this. This can be done at a broad range of price points. Short of doing that, you can wear many of the suits you already have in new ways.

Fresh Ways to Wear Your Suit

While you chew on the above ideas, you should know that the classic slim fit suit is not going anywhere. You can and should still wear your dress shirt, tie and dressy shoes if your job calls for it and you love it. You can and should consider wearing your suit with a floral shirt, a pastel t-shirt, or a hoodie.

There is little I love more than a man in a great pair of espadrilles or the right sandal (and I do mean the right sandal)! Paired with a suit, be still my heart. Sneakers and suits were made stylish by the hip hop community a long time ago. Credit where credit is due. I love that this trend has grown and evolved.

The rules here are wide ranging. I recently paired a great navy pinstripe linen with some pink Vans for a client and it was fabulous.

The Details Matter

There's still more to consider: To cuff or not to cuff? The length of your pant. The length of your coat. These details can make all the difference in pulling off your new suit look. The good news is that there are many ways to slice this pie and you can find what works for you.
