Henry JohnsonThere are many occasions where you will want to dress nicely while avoiding a too formal look. For these events, you should consider casually styling your suit. Often, people mistakenly believe that a suit is an attire reserved for formal occasions. However, it’s quite easy to make your suit less formal for an event, especially if you use these ways to casually style your favorite suit.
Use Neutral T-Shirts
Wearing neutral t-shirts underneath your suit is a great way to make your look more casual. Neutral tones, such as black, white, brown, cream, and more, are all excellent choices. If you enjoy adding more flair, you can wear a patterned t-shirt as well, but make sure it matches your suit. Keep in mind that the material of the t-shirt matters if you want to be comfortable.
For instance, if you wear a linen suit on a warm day, avoid pairing it with a thick, wool shirt. One of the things you should know about linen suits is that they are perfect for warm summer days, but the wool shirt would make it very uncomfortable for hot weather.
Leave the Tie at Home
One very easy way to prepare your suit for everyday wear is to leave the tie at home. People wear ties to formal events, such as weddings, graduations, job interviews, and more. Since ties are reserved for formal wear, leave your tie at home if you want a more relaxed appearance.
Wear Comfy, Casual Shoes
Wearing comfortable, casual shoes is another way to casually style your favorite suit. Any closed-toe shoes that match the rest of your attire will make your appearance more relaxed. If you want to add more style, you can always wear boots with your suit, too.
Bring Out the Jeans
Unfortunately, many people recoil at the thought of wearing jeans with a suit. However, a quality pair of jeans are an excellent addition to the rest of your look. The key with jeans is to make sure they fit properly and match nicely with your suit.
