Wearing a suit has many advantages. Not only is it comfortable, practical, and extremely elegant, but it’s also versatile. The timeless piece of clothing is a safe bet if you want a go-to outfit that you can wear to the office or a special event without thinking about today’s clothing choices.

However, having a suit but not knowing how to wear it properly is just as bad as having no suit at all. If you’re looking to dress the part and achieve a clean-cut appearance, then you should continue reading below and learn about some modern ways of wearing a suit.

Wear It with a T-Shirt

A simple t-shirt in combination with a suit is an underrated outfit and a flexible way to get more use for those suits that just hang and collect dust in the closet. The t-shirt makes the whole look more relaxed and charming.

It’s important to remember, however, that this can never replace a full suit with a shirt in a serious and proper context. But wearing a tee with a suit has its use.

If you combine the suit with a t-shirt in nice colors and with the right accessories, you have a dressy and sober look that works just as well at work as at parties and dinners. It’s a combination that’s easy to match with watches, bracelets, or a scarf to create a variety of stylish outfits with a fairly simple base.

The most important thing is to color match the right way. A black t-shirt fits perfectly with a beige suit, a white t-shirt becomes super stylish with a black or navy blue suit and a gray-mixed T-shirt is unbeatably fashion-forward with a navy blue suit.

Accessorize

As we mentioned earlier, combining the right accessories with your suit can be an excellent idea and make the overall look much more eye-catching. One of the ways to achieve this is to put on a unique pair of socks that can instantly separate you from the rest of the crowd. A brilliant idea is to become a member of a sock of the month club as it will allow you to add a fresh pair of interesting socks to your wardrobe every month, not having to worry about how to put a creative twist on your outfits.

A scarf is a perfect accessory for a suit as it makes your overall look much more unique and interesting. With a silk scarf in different bright colors and patterns, you can create a large number of stylish and well-matched suit combinations with a modest budget.

Other accessories that can add the perfect finish touch to a suit are belts, bags, lapel pin, corsages, watches, jewelry, and suspenders. The rule of thumb is to choose one or two suit accessories and not make the look too flashy.

Pair It with Sneakers

The discussion about which garments you can and cannot wear with a suit is no longer causing a headache for fashion experts. 

A lot has happened since sneakers were only footwear intended for gym classes, the sporty street kids, or hip hop fans. Once, it was unthinkable to wear sneakers to anything other than sportswear or casual jeans, especially for women. Today we love our wonderful sneakers and wear them at all times and with almost all our outfits, even our fancy suits.

Replacing the finer leather shoes with a pair of sneakers is an easy way to get a slightly more casual but still very elegant look.

By adding a pair of sneakers to the suit, you create a relaxed, yet striking look. If you choose a stylish, neutral, and dressier pair of sneakers, they work perfectly for an informal cotton suit. Combined with a casual linen shirt or a fresh t-shirt, this becomes a hard-to-beat summer combo that works on most occasions. If you’re already a sneaker fanatic, you know the importance of keeping them spotless, clean, and tidy. Of course, this becomes extra important if you intend to use them together with a suit.

If, on the other hand, you’re going to a more formal event such as a wedding, business meeting, or important corporate party, where a dark suit is the dress code, it might still be best if you choose a pair of classic, finer leather pumps.

Final Thoughts

Wearing a suit with a tee, sneakers, colorful socks, and jeans is a good way to create a modern look. The right combination of colors is extremely important for your outfit to look modern, this applies to all types of outfits, not just when you wear a suit.

Therefore, you should spend some time and energy learning the right color match and what best suits your body and personality.
