Suits aren’t just for business meetings anymore. With our simple guide, learn how to effortlessly dress up or down any suit of your choosing. Whether you’re attending a casual date, a weekend getaway, or even a formal wedding, you’ll be feeling cool and confident in some of our favorite pieces.

Select the right fit! Nothing looks worse than an ill-fitted suit, so be sure to use your accurate measurements to secure that fits-like-a-glove feeling! Consider getting your suit professionally tailored for a more exact fit.

Invest in quality shoes! Shoes can make or break your look, and functionality and style are equally important. By selecting your favorite dress shoes you can transform any suit for a special occasion.

Pick a crisp-looking dress shirt! Ensure your selected shirt is free of any wrinkles or blemishes, and take the time to iron it and straighten your collar. Your shirt cuff should be about ½ inch visible past your jacket cuff. This is a small detail that can help you look fully put together.

Colors matter! Try to choose colors that complement each other and avoid being too flashy. If you select one eye-catching color, select a complementary more muted tone to accompany it.

Tie it up! Finally, a simple way to dress up any suit is by adding a tie. Be sure to tie a nice, symmetrical knot that should be roughly the same shape and size as your two collar points.
