We pay attention to this and we write really in-depth, and I think some of the best articles
on the web about these subjects.
Okay.
So letís get back to the question.
Can you wear a suit jacket with trousers as separate?î And youíre going to see a lot
of people take a very firm stance and say absolutely not.
I say it depends.
If you own one suit, my answer is absolutely not.
The reason being if you own one suit, you own that one suit for a reason.
And thatís because occasionally you will need it.
You donít wear a suit every single day but youíve got that one suit that whenever youíve
got a funeral, youíve got a wedding, youíve some event that you have to wear a suit, youíve
got that one suit.
So, whenever you wear them separate, you bring in the risk of damaging one of those garments
or perhaps sending one of method of cleaners or spending a lot of sun perhaps in that jacket.
And if you do that enough times, all of a sudden, those trousers in that jacket are
no longer going to match and if they donít match, you technically donít have a suit
anymore.
And so you have lost that one item that youíve ñ you need to have.
Every man needs one suit.
Now, if you have 10 suits in your wardrobe, youíre obviously a man that probably wears
a suit maybe three to four times a week, if not every single day then yes, you can, because
youíve got the option.
Youíve got stuff to fall back on and hopefully youíre a little bit more advanced when it
comes to style that you understand that whenever you do this, you need to make sure and clean
them together.
So, whenever you send them off to the dry cleaners even though youíve maybe worn the
trousers maybe, you know, twice but youíve worn the jacket 20 times, you still are going
to send in those trousers even if theyíre not dirty because you know that thereís a
slight discoloration that happens.
I mean, it depends on the laundry and what kind of material or kind of solvents theyíre
using but you want to make sure that they go together and theyíre cleaned together
so that they maintain the same type of color and everything.
In addition, look to buy extra trousers.
So, if youíre going to be doing this quite often, you ñ trousers are more likely than
your jacket to actually be ruined.
So if youíre wearing trousers without the jacket often, youíre going to want at least
two pairs so that when one pair does rip or tear that youíre able and still have something
and be able to salvage that suit.
The other one is that the last point is you need to know what youíre doing.
So, I see a lot of men wearing suit jacket with pair of jeans or a suit back ñ jacket
as ñ and try to wear this as a sports jacket.
And I can tell usually by the structure of the suit, and when I look at it, you can just
tell that this really isnít a sports jacket.
And there are some men I canít tell and those are the ones doing it right.
Now, Iíve got ñ Iíve got a very discerning eye for this in the industry but you want
to be able to wear a jacket that is kind of ñ if I canít tell or if itís kind of iffy
then youíre doing a good job.
And whatís the measure of that?
Well, I talked about that in my other article how to wear a suit jacket with a pair of jeans
so you can go to that one and in fact they may link to it down below.
But just pay attention back to the original question is, ìCan you wear a suit jacket
and a suit pair of trouser separately?î Again, it depends.
If you have one suit, no, not ever because you want that one suit ready for you when
you need it.
If youíve got more than one suit, you know, five to ten, sure, why not.
Just understand that you do risk damaging one of them all of a sudden losing that suit
forever.
