Simple rules to follow when wearing a blue suit
Stick with a crisp white shirt, or a lighter shade of pink or blue. These colors create a little contrast allowing your blue suit to pop.
When it comes to ties, the world is your oyster. I prefer black or navy but red, burgundy and green will also work too.
As mentioned above both black or brown shoes are acceptable. Lace ups or loafers are fine.
If your suit is well fitted and shorter in the legs and body, then feel free to wear a polo shirt and some sneakers with it. It will make a nice change in the heat.
Expert Tip On Wearing Your Blue Suit
Blue is the new navy. It has been thrown around a bit lately, and whilst a classic navy suit is hard to beat, a look around any major city in the world suggests the time for the blue suit is right now.
With the ubiquity of the navy suit in recent years, blue allows for a similar versatility in the shirt/tie combination (it will go with almost anything), but has significantly more punch in the street/office/pub.
However be careful with the tonality; electric or violent blues are best avoided. 2-3 shades lighter than your Navy will work for most.
Our recommendation, for the corporate guy pair with a plain blue or thin striped light blue shirt and a dark chestnut oxford shoe. For the more adventurous amongst us, a cutaway collar, bold check shirt offset with a strong foulard or paisley tie will remove that conservative tag you’ve been trying to shake for years. Pair with a tasselled loafer to stay a sartorial step ahead of old mate double monk at the water cooler.
Casually, a blue suit in a lightweight tropical wool or cotton is understatedly elegant with a crisp white shirt (no tie), white linen pocketchief, and loafers or driving shoes. Blue is a confidence color so you know the drill, wear it like you mean it. – DMarge
