Now that you own a closet full of designer suits from Menswear eCollection, it’s time to learn how to add the finishing touches and complete your look. Along with your favorite men's suit, dress shoes and matching socks, you will need a matching belt, pocket square and cuff links. Here is how to put these accessories together and create a stylish ensemble, ideal for a day at the office or a formal party in the evening.
The Belt: You don’t have to wear a belt, especially if you’re wearing a slimmer suit or dress pants with side tabs. However, if you do wear a belt, stick with a simple one and make sure to match your shoes. The same rule applies when you wear a belt with other ensembles such as jeans and sports coats.
The pocket square: Although not required, a cotton pocket square adds elegance to your suit, especially if it is a business suit. And since you can’t wear one with mens blazers, why not add a touch of color and style to your suit? When selecting a pocket square, keep it classic; avoid busy patterns or over-the-top hues. Always wear it square, and avoid the puffy or multipeaked look. GQ magazine also recommends avoiding patterned silk pocket squares and matching tie-and-pocket square sets.
Cuff links: These ornamental fasteners should be reserved for formal occasions that require a dressy French-cuff shirt. GQ recommends selecting tasteful and refined cuff links—a great rule of thumb to avoid looking too flashy. Also, cuff links don’t necessary need to match your watch, meaning it is perfectly fine to wear a silver watch and gold cuff links.
The ultimate goal is to present a balanced and classic look, whether you’re wearing one of our designer suits, topcoats or tuxedos. Browse our online selection to find the designer men’s suits, dress pants or neck ties you need, all at discount prices.
