Make sure you go for a shirt with a collar, as well as with a black-tie if you are up for some formal wear. You can wear both dark brown or black shoes with this suit, just make sure your chosen colour suits your accessories, such as your watch, bag, socks etc. Don’t mix & match different shades of blue, but you can mix some brown, grey or black.

3. Striped Slim Fit Grey Suit White Shirt

After you read through the article you will notice that these ties aren’t as popular, but they are still beautiful! A striped or a checkered suit, as well as a pair of unusual shoes with some funky socks, will complete this look. Guys who don’t love the ”typical” grey suit combo will love to add something like this to their cart when shopping online or in stores! Go for blue shirts underneath your grey suit and complete the vibe effortlessly, yet stylishly.

On That Note

So, which of these suit outfit combos is your favorite? Nowadays men have a lot of blazers to choose from, and choosing only one can be difficult. However, the right sign that you’ve found ”the one” suit is if it matches your personal style, and you receive several comments on the way it suits you. If you are looking for something that you can wear no matter the event, get a classic light grey suit! It is a must-have for the summer season, as well as for any upcoming formal or semi-formal events. You can also shop with your girlfriend, mom or your best friend if you feel like hearing someone’s second opinion.
