8 ways to wear a navy striped suit

Traditionally the reserve of bankers on wall street, the striped navy suit is extremely adaptable and doesn't have to look overly corporate. These are some of the ways you can adapt this wardrobe staple for different occasions and to show your personality.
Picture
Business - wear your 2 piece with a white shirt, classic tie, formal shoes and a pocket square.

Less formal office look - ditch the shirt & tie and wear your suit with a roll neck for a relaxed yet still formal enough for a meeting outfit. This can be worn with formal shoes or loafers but not sneakers.
Picture
Casual Fridays - For something that can take you from the office to a Friday night date, team the jacket with a pair of chinos and a printed shirt. Show some personality with some fun shoes and accessories like this lapel pin to match the shirt.

The Creative - Creative types who want to dress up for a day yet not look like a banker can wear a striped suit effortlessly. Team the suit with a classic T-shirt, (prints are ok, slogans not) and a pair of white sneakers.

Formal dinner - Some people will tell you the navy stripe suit is purely office attire however it can be dressed up for an evening event. Wear the suit with a white shirt, black waistcoat, formal shoes, a neck tie or bow tie and a lapel pin.

Smart/casual weekend - For an event that requires smart/casual attire, team your jacket with a pair of linen trousers and some loafers. Wear with a button down shirt without a tie and add a bright coloured pocket square to keep things looking smart.
Picture
Formal separates - This works well for a wedding or event without a strict dress code but where you still want to look sharp. Wear the trousers with a jacket in a tonal or light colour, like this light navy silk/linen nehru jacket or a stone coloured blazer. Wear with formal shoes and a tie or pocket square.

Casual evening - A good look for a date, gallery opening or a night out with friends. Wear the jacket with a black polo, slim fitting black jeans and a formal shoe, add a pocket square for a little panache.
