5 Tips On How To Look Swagger Both Day And Night With Just One Suit

Choosing what to wear isn’t always easy because different occasions demand different styles. Men who work in an office will often wear quite formal clothes so that they make a good impression and can meet clients. In the evenings and at night, you’re either required to dress down for a more laid-back style when going out with colleagues, or dress up if you’re visiting the opera or going to a business dinner.

Luckily, a suit can be dressed up and down as required without much effort or hassle. With just one suit, you can create quite a few looks without having to spend a fortune on your wardrobe. Of course, having more than one suit can be preferred at times, but if you’re looking for a simple and cost-effective way to always look swagger, well this article is definitely for you.

You might think that it will take a whole lot of effort to turn that one suite into either formal or laid-back look, but that is just not how we roll. We’re introducing five different tips to help you get the most out of your one suit.

1. Cufflinks

Cufflinks are more than just a useful tool to fasten your shirt. They’re also a great way of adding your own personality to your one suit. They come in all sorts of different shapes, sizes, styles and materials and they’re the perfect little addition to wear for formal and semi-formal occasions.

2. Handkerchiefs

The art of sporting a pocket square is coming back into fashion. It’s an easy and quick way to dress up your one suit and add a little more formality to your look. A good rule to keep in mind is that the pocket square should match some colour in your tie. There are also various ways in which you can fold it, so you’ll need to learn your preferred method.

3. Bow-Tie

A black bow-tie can completely transform an otherwise boring black suit; James Bond (Daniel Craig) has proven this in Casino Royale (2006). It’s the height of formality and should be made out of a high-quality material such as satin, silk or grosgrain. If tied correctly, you’ll soon look the part to go to dinner with the Queen herself.

4. Waistcoat

Slim fit suits are a very popular and modern clothing choice. You can add a touch more formality to it by wearing a waistcoat underneath as well. Waistcoats are best worn with single-breasted suitsand they do not only look good, but they’re also quite practical. For instance, if you’re living in a colder climate, then they can add a little bit of extra warmth to your outfit.

5. Jeans

If you’d rather dress down your one suit, then it is possible to do so without much effort too. A well-fitting pair of dark jeans paired with leather shoes, a clean shirt and a classy suit jacket is a timeless outfit that’s ideal for all smart-casual events.

A suit is a highly versatile piece of clothing and every man should have at least one in their wardrobe. It can be dressed up with a bow tie, cufflinks and a vest or dressed down by pairing it with a nice pair of dark jeans and omitting the formal accents. Its versatility makes the suit the perfect choice for all occasions from smart-casual to highly formal. As you can see, all you really need is one suit and you are set for success.
