Ways To Wear

As always here are some fool-proof ways of wearing a navy suit: –

• Go all out Cary Grant – pair it with a crisp white shirt, a dark solid tie and a colourful patterned hanker-chief. For the summer months lose the tie, loosen a few buttons and put on a straw trilby for the evenings out.
• Think American Flag – that means red, white and blue. Any combination or option will do but why not try a light blue shirt with a red and white striped tie. Add some chocolate brown shoes into the mix and you’re away.
• For a more casual take on the navy suit for the winter months why not pair it with a knitted cardigan? Try a blue and white striped shirt with a solid yellow tie and a red cardigan over the top. It may sound like a lot of colour but there is no more than three colours at play and they all complement each other very nicely. I’m often found in this combination for the office myself.

But it doesn’t just stop there. As always think about what you can do with the jacket and trousers separately. A navy suit jacket is pretty much a must for this summer as an easy way of hitting a nautical theme and if there is in any doubt about what to do with it just check out my previous article on blazers. As a guideline try pairing it with chino’s and a polo shirt to get some American prep in your life. There you have it guys, the Navy Suit. Go out, try a few on and experiment with any of these ways to wear it to see what you think. I know it’s my favourite suit I own and it might just be yours too. Next week, the black suit.
