If you’re going to wear a full suit (even a casual one like this salt-and-pepper Madison Suit), skip the spread collar and tie in favor of a turtleneck and a technical piece of outerwear. Conversely, if you’re wearing a formal topcoat, think about adding some denim and boots down below.
If it’s been over six months since you wore “coat and tie,” one chic step back into neckwear is wearing one of our cashmere, merino or Alpaca cardigans with a classic silk knit tie.
Another way to keep your tailoring feeling casual and current is to add a rugged flannel to this Navy Sutton suit. Our flannels are soft enough to wear on your skin as the fabric comes from several of Italy’s leading mills, and the fit is slightly tailored for a modern, flattering silhouette. These are a classic midweight, meaning you can layer them over a t-shirt or tuck them under a sportcoat.
Forget the old saw about not wearing white after Labor Day and think of it as a neutral. It looks particularly chic with military-inspired styles such as the Shearling Aviator or the Double Breasted Officer’s Coat.
