A Suit 3 Ways

For this post I set off into the countryside for some tips on how to innovate more looks from a new suit I've invested in. To be honest spending such a large proportion of money on something only to wear now and then seems like spunk up the wall.

So I've enlisted the help of an old friend, who will become a more regular feature on the blog, to share the wealth.

For now we'll call him Mr. Tee.

"There's a big difference between wearing and 'owning' a suit, and by owning I mean sporting your suit with confidence, panache, charisma and putting your own stamp onto the most established staple of menswear that is all too commonly referred to as formal.

Remember that a suit doesn't necessarily have to be formal and a way of power dressing.

Be experimental with colours now and again, without thinking too much about matching all the eccentricities, a complementing palette will show much more savvy.

You can lessen the formality of your suit with a casual element or vice versa, colourful but understated, bold but unashamed, brash without being flash.

3 golden rules to abide by:

• FIT! Make sure you have a good tailor and that you know your size.

• SHOES! The best tailored Savile Row suit would look dreadful with the wrong shoes.

• ENJOY IT! You'll look more comfortable/confident if you make the look your own.

Small touches and twists on conventional ideas can add your own mark.

What you can do while dressing up a suit casual or formal suit is almost endless so below I have given 3 examples:"
