However, knowing how to dress down a three-piece suit, can greatly increase its versatility. Here’s one way to do it, featuring one of my all-time favorites.

The vibe of any suit – two- or three-piece – depends a lot on the shirt and tie combination you choose. A denim shirt is one of the easiest ways to tone down a three-piece suit’s formality. And the addition of a playful and classic patterned tie is the perfect complement.
I’ve talked a lot about a dark brown suit being just about as classic a choice as navy or grey. Just as versatile with a little less baggage, and therefore more open to interpretation.
Apologies for the brevity of this post. I’m hitting the road tomorrow for a while and we’ve been grinding to get some quality content in the can before the trip. You may have noticed our recent How To Pack It features – blazer and dress shirt – which I will be consulting late this evening. And I’m going to have to remember to pack my mic to keep up with the podcast while I’m away.
Thanks for reading.
Stylishly Yours,
