How to Wear a Navy Suit Formally

Formal

Whether you’re a high-flying city banker or have just received an invite to your friend’s wedding, a classic navy suit will ensure you are dressed to impress. For a formal look, team yours with a crisp white shirt, silk tie, pocket square (echoing – not matching – a colour in your shirt or tie) and lace-up shoes. To achieve the neatest silhouette, ensure you only ever fasten the top button of your jacket – never both.
