As many workplaces transition from formal attire to business casual, dressing well has become more nuanced. To avoid the monotony of typical business casual outfits—think white shirts and navy chinos—our guide will help you build a versatile, timeless wardrobe that simplifies looking your best. Consider these four key “rules” for pairing jackets and trousers:
- Prioritize Textured Fabrics
The fabric choice is crucial to your suit’s adaptability. While worsted wool is a traditional option, its sleek, formal finish can limit its use as separates. Instead, explore fabrics like linen, high-twist wool, hopsack, or flannel. These materials offer texture and character, making them more versatile for different settings. - Go for a Soft Silhouette
The structure of your suit plays a significant role in its versatility. Opting for a soft silhouette with a relaxed jacket construction and soft shoulders lends a casual vibe, allowing the jacket to be paired with a variety of outfits beyond formal business attire. - Select Versatile Colors
When choosing fabric colors and patterns, versatility is key. Shades like midnight blue, cream, light grey, and green are timeless and can be easily coordinated with different shirts and trousers. These colors ensure your suit remains stylish and adaptable over time.
