There is nothing more attractive than a man in a sharp and sleek suit. Perfectly tailored smart suits have been the staple wardrobe choices for men for all formal occasions, in a color palette of black, navy and gray or even white. Men’s Black Suits speak for themselves, and are a classic wardrobe staple that will never go out of style. These days, owing to the rise in awareness of fashion trends, men have become more aware, have started to step out of their comfort zones, and have begun to opt for power suits in bold hues and vivid patterns. Other than making a daring statement, opting for such suits lets one embrace their personal style and tap into their individuality through fashion.
Long gone are the days when the conventional and monotonous black and blue suits dominated men’s fashion, and more and more men have started to experiment with patterns, prints and tones. There is a vast variety of fashionable and stylish unconventional suits available for you to pick, however, there are some important points to consider when opting for one. In this comprehensive guide, we shall help you discover the power of contrasting hues and patterns when it comes to suiting style, and make a sartorial statement that speaks volumes about your personality.
Colors That Command Attention
Staple colors such as navy and charcoal are timeless, versatile, and immune to trends. They will never go out of style, and can be worn both in summer and winter. For the sake of keeping tradition alive, it is good to keep one in your wardrobe at all times. When it comes to experiment with hues, there are some colors that work better in summer than they do in winter, and vice versa. Darker colors retain more heat, and can look harsh on warm days, whereas neutral tones are cooler and help the heat seem much tolerable.
Colors such as rich burgundy, emerald green, royal blue are all the hype these days, and if you wish to go bolder, you can also try out mustard yellow or deep purple. Less is always more, and you can begin with small quantities of a vivid color to lift your look. You can add a bright zing with a tie, pocket square, or accessory to contrast an otherwise simple look. A basic rule of thumb is to wear one base color and complement it with a bolder tone.
Patterns that Make a Statement:
Opting for patterns in suits will take your style statement to a whole new level. They will add an instant oomph factor, and will add great asset to your wardrobe. Pinstripes, windowpane checks, houndstooth, or bold florals will be a great step up from solids and will provide a flair certainly. Patterns and prints can also be mixed to create striking looks, while also maintaining a balance between sophistication and drama. If you add accessories to your patterned suits, be sure that the pattern of the accessories is smaller than the pattern of the suit.
Occasions to Experiment
There are certain events where you can confidently embrace a bold suit look. Cocktail parties, art events, a wedding with a casual theme and the red carpet are examples where you can experiment with a bold suit. It all depends on your style and confidence, and your bold suit can work well at most places. Celebrities and artists have continued to serve inspiration on how to rock a statement suit. Timothée Chalamet rewrote the rules for menswear fashion in an embroidered Alexander McQueen suit at the San Sebastian International Film Festival premiere of his movie Beautiful Boy. Another prominent fashion look was worn by Dwayne Johnson at the 2023 Academy Awards, which consisted of a shiny ballet pink suit jacket, designed by Dolce & Gabbana, with a matching pink flower on his lapel.
Styling a Bold-Colored or Patterned Suit
When it comes to styling a bold suit, it is important to take certain points into consideration. Along with your personal preferences, it is essential to take into consideration your complexion and body type too for a more polished and cohesive look. Begin with colors that are neutral but still add a statement to your look such as tan, green and blue. If you have opted for a suit that is bright, pair it with a subtle shirt and accessories that are also subtle and not loud. You can also experiment by wearing a colored jacket styled with a neutral pant. Ensure that your fit and tailoring is proper, and that will elevate your style statement to a whole new level. With bold suits, tan shoes usually work well and bring your entire look together. Brown shoes also work well paired with suits that are less neutral.
For patterned suits, if you are a beginner into this venture, opt for smaller prints and patterns. You can also not go wrong with a patterned jacket styled with a solid color button down and a trouser that is complimentary in color.
Accessorizing a Suit the Right Way
Confidence is the number one accessory to flaunt with a bright and bold suit. It is essential to be confident while wearing a colored or patterned suit, and carry it with poise and sophistication. While Mr. Guild Men’s Suits are perfect in every way, adding accessories can further take your suit to a new level. There are some points to remember when it comes to adding accessories to your suit. If adding a pocket square, remember that they look best when you create a contrast.
A dress watch adds elegance and charm to your style. If it is a watch with a leather band, remember that it must match the color of all other leather you wear. A classy watch to wear is one that is simple and has an unadorned face.
A tie bar should fall about ¾ of the way across your tie, and must be comparable with the width of your tie. Cufflinks also add charm, but remember when it comes to accessories, less is always more.
Inspiring Examples
Michael B. Jordan is known for his eccentric fashion choices, and he always carries them confidently. He opted for a funky colored suit for his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony at the beginning of March this year. He allured in his electric blue number that was eye-catching and fierce, and perfect for the occasion too.
Chris Pine also went eclectic at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2023, and wore a linen and cashmere jacket and trouser set in a pink hue. The pink suit for men has fast gained popularity, and more and more men aren’t shying away from wearing it. You can wear it casually and formally, and it works well both ways. Pine went for the casual side, and styled his pink suit with a white T-shirt and brown slip-on shoes.
Harry Styles is indeed the master of men’s fashion. He never fails to impress and make a statement, and is known for his fun and bold suit. The singer was spotted in a forest green blazer with pea green pants for the premiere of his film My Policeman, at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sep. 11, 2022. Harry carried a Kelly green purse with his suit and served pure drama.
Conclusion:

It is important to express yourself and step out of your comfort zone. Fashion is a form of expression, and unconventional and out-of-the-box looks are perfect to experiment with, and make a mark.
