Fashion Friday: Top 5 Alternatives to the Regular Suit

 

You don’t need to suit up for a great date, neither do you have to for for a successful interview. The 25 century woman no longer does this, so why should you? These 5 tips will guide you on how just to look dapper and chic even without wearing a suit.

How about a sweater and jeans?

If you think that trading your suit for a sweater and jeans is crazy, then you thought wrong. There are a number of knit-wear designers all around the world like Laduma Ngxokolo, a South African who makes men’s knit-wear that is inspired by traditional Xhosa beadwork. Get one of his sweaters and jeans and you will get a comfortable way to look fire.

Get the roll-neck and slim trousers!

Try one in grey, burgundy, charcoal, navy or black and add a pair of slim woolen trousers and you will get the perfect look for the day. Make sure you don’t forget the brogues, which will keep you looking elegant. Kanye West seems to have this as his favourite go-to- look.

A tailored jacket plus t-shirt = awesomeness!

This simple look is the best definition of ‘Forever young and classy’. It is also quite an affordable look to go for, especially when you are just beginning your career. All you need to do is to choose some good-looking plain T-shirts like white, black or navy blue and add a punch of colour on the jacket. Man, you will kill it!

Tight sweat-shirt and skinny jeans

If you got the six-pack, then you will surely rock this. All you need is to have is a number of quality coloured sweat-shirts and different shades of denim in your wardrobe. You may complete the look with a tailored jacket.

 

Add smart shoes and a classy designer watch

There’s nothing as classy as a man wearing authentic and expensive shoes. With this, you don’t even have to work so much on your outfit. Put a classy watch on your wrist and add some cologne to sum it all up. You don’t need a full suit when you have all these!
