Shopping for a suit:  Hypothetical suit styling 3

Well, here I am entertaining yet another idea for a “suit” investment.  Although this one isn’t really a true matchy suit.  But I became obsessed with this instagram post because it’s so classic, and thought maybe I should scoop up this Steven Alan jacket to pair with my black joggers.  It would be a potentially interesting combo of vintage and modern vibes, and it’s secondhand at a great price, (aka my greatest impulse weakness).  While the check print has such a vintage vibe, it also seems of-the-moment, with plaid and gingham suiting popping up at Nina Ricci, J.Crew, Paul Smith, Gabriela Hearst, Stella McCartney, Argent, and Banana Republic.  

1 // 2 // 3 // 4

Here are some formulas I found:

PARTY - tank + sandals + big watch + fun lip color.  Although the jacket is neutral, it’s a lot of pattern, so I have to keep the tee and shoes simple.  I can’t decide if Birks totally work, but I think they do?  The joggers are sporty enough to bridge the gap, right?

CONCERT / ART SHOW - crop top + bandana + sneakers.  All-white sneakers make this super fresh, and I like doing black on black with the crop top.

WORK - sweater + satchel + loafers.  Again, I probably wouldn’t wear this outfit to work (still too fancy).  But I would totally wear this jacket with jeans to work.  And I like it with this cashmere sweater a lot.

WINTER EVENT - long-sleeved blouse + clutch + black heels + red lip.  Didn’t change a thing for this one.

FALL EVENT - white shirt + plaid pants + necklace + oxfords + mini purse.  I like the idea of mixing plaids, and alternatively, could do solid pants and a plaid shirt (buttoned all the way up, of course).

HOT DATE - lace top + favorite lip color + low heels + necklace.  This jacket might be a bit too business-y to work in a super sexy way, but it could still function as a “coat” that I take off when I get where I’m going.

SPRING EVENT - light button-up + pink lip + clutch + open-toe booties.  I really like pink silk with this, to lighten it up.

SUMMER EVENT - light button-up + bright lip + low heels + clutch.  Some very subtle pattern-mixing.  (And I just realized I may have subconsciously ripped off this).  The baby blue works nicely with this, and I’d probably throw the pink bandana in, too.  In a perfect world, I’d have some colorful slides or strappy sandals for this outfit, but just working with what I’ve got here.  

PROS:

Only need to buy a jacket, and it’s a great price.

I know it comes from an “ethical” source, and a company that makes really nice things.  Even second-hand, I feel pretty confident about the quality.

I love that it’s double-breasted.  Such a cool look, especially when left open and boxy.  Major Diane Keaton vibes.

It’s a neutral color and a very classic pattern.  Because it’s cream and not white-white, it’s not as severe with the black.  I dig the masculine vibes a lot.  Overall, this feels very “me.”

As with the silk option, I already know the pants are very comfortable and would definitely work for events with big meals.  The cropped ankle and high rise are also very flattering.

I would definitely wear the blazer with tons of other outfits, styled more casually.

CONS:

The black bottoms might be too severe for warmer months.  I would be tempted to invest in some gray or khaki trousers (would my clyde pants work?), so this might not be the most lean closet-friendly option after all.  Maybe even colored trousers?  I can’t decide if my silk navy pants would work, too.  

Not returnable.  So still a risk, if it doesn’t look right, even though it’s cheap.

It’s not a true matching suit.  I think matching trousers existed at some point, but it might be unlikely to find them for sale (and in my size).

The option I found for sale would be a size up.  Because I could potentially still alter the jacket, it might not be a big deal, and I love an oversize look anyway.

I ultimately have to decide whether having a true matchy suit is important to me right now.  I sort of feel like...maybe this would be a “punt”--getting me through some dress-up occasions while I have more time to save up for what I really want. 

What’s been really enlightening (and frustrating) about this whole comparative exercise is realizing that there’s not one perfect answer here.  There are a number of ways I could go.  It’s kind of like life choices, haha.  I could pick any one of these and probably be cool for a while but not totally satisfied, because, well, nothing’s perfect.  It’s all about choices.

I like this combo from Dress Like A but with a few caveats. Being a tad short myself, I think the double-breasted jacket (lovely as it is) only reinforces the fact that a short man is lacking in stature. I find the lace pocket square a tad too feminine as well; apart from that it’s a fine ensemble.
