You wouldn’t have thought it would be that difficult… but every so often I see something styled on a website that sticks with me as “wow, that’s a dumb way to wear a suit.” I thought I’d round some up for fun… Readers, have you seen any “just, why?” stylings for suits? Do share… what are your best tips on how NOT to wear a suit?
How Not to Wear a Suit: With Your Blazer Tied Around Your Waist
This one caught my eye a few weeks ago when we featured the otherwise gorgeous suit from Me + Em for our Suit of the Week. (Ooh, it’s actually marked down quite a bit if you liked the suit!)
Why yes, that’s a blazer tied around her waist. I mean, if you’re in some survivalist situation — like a zombie apocalypse! — I suppose it could be smart, because you never know when you’ll get cold or need shelter from the sun… but this doesn’t seem the best for every day.
How Not to Wear a Suit: With a Scarfy Tunic
One of the ones I often think about is from a long time ago (we used it as the initial illustration in our post on what to wear beneath a suit jacket, which I think still has good advice!), so I apologize the tiny photo… for some reason I thought squinting at the screen was a good idea until like 2018.
How Not to Wear a Suit: With Your Pants Tucked Into Knee-High Boots
This otherwise lovely suit from Elie Tahari may just be one of those situations where the eye needs to adjust — maybe this will be the hot new look next year! But I would not recommend wearing suit pants tucked into knee high boots unless you’re in military uniform… but maybe I’m wrong. Readers, what are your thoughts?
How Not to Wear a Skirt Suit: With Knee-High Socks
Skirt suits are super conservative! It’s hard to go wrong with a skirt suit!
Um…
I think this is how it can go wrong. I would not wear knee-high socks with Mary Jane heels with a skirt suit, but maybe that’s just me. (I otherwise love the Dolce & Gabbana suit!)
Readers, what are your thoughts? Can you remember any others I’ve mentioned through the years?
