As the shift from formal to business casual dress codes becomes more common, dressing well requires more consideration. To avoid the standard business casual look—white shirts and navy chinos—use our guide to build a versatile, timeless wardrobe that makes looking sharp effortless. Follow these four key “rules” for combining jackets and trousers:
- Focus on Textured Fabrics
The fabric you choose is crucial to the adaptability of your suit. While worsted wool is a staple, its smooth and formal texture can make it less suitable for separates. Instead, consider textured fabrics like linen, high-twist wool, hopsack, or flannel. These materials add depth to your suit, making it more versatile for different occasions. - Go for a Soft Silhouette
The structure of your suit influences its flexibility. A soft silhouette with relaxed jacket construction and soft shoulders creates a more casual look, allowing the jacket to be easily paired with other pieces beyond formal business wear. - Select Versatile Colors
When choosing fabric colors and patterns, opt for versatility. Timeless shades like midnight blue, cream, light grey, and green can be mixed and matched with a variety of shirts and trousers. These colors help your suit remain stylish and adaptable over time.
