The Casual Suit

When we as gentlemen have to go to an event that is a first time for meeting a new significant others lady friends, we should all take the time to make an effort to look great without going overboard.

This weekend I had such an event and threw together a nice option that didn’t cry out for attention but was nice enough to get just the right amount.

The key to this outfit is that you want to look good with the jacket off. Make sure you are wearing a well tailored shirt and pants. Pair it with a decent watch and you’ve got  very comfortable and stylish way to impress the lady friends without looking like a d-bag.

Solid Navy Indochino full custom suit with the suit sleeves unbuttoned, deep red striped custom Indochino shirt with cufflinks, crisp white pocket square, DKNY shoes, fun H&M striped socks.

    • Hey Patrick,

      The suit I am wearing from Indochino is the NAVY PERFORMANCE SUIT.

      Best,

  3. Must say that navy sure is rocking. The whole combination is working for you man. I’ve yet to experiment with socks though, but I will ease myself in that direction.

  4. What a great outfit! I love the color combinations. Next time wear it with brown leathers, and you will truly stand out!

    Which navy suit from Indochino is your favorite?
    This one clearly has a great look on you.
    I am debating between buying the navy performance, the navy pick stitch, and the classic navy blue suit. Any recommendation?
