- Pocket Squares
- Color Coordination: The pocket square you choose should complement, but not exactly match, your tie or shirt. Don’t overdo it! A white pocket square is a classic choice, but don’t be afraid to experiment with colors and patterns that add a pop of color and personality.
- Folding Techniques: In addition to color, different folds in with your pocket square can create various effects, from the simple presidential fold to the more intricate puff or four-point folds.

- Belts and Braces
- Matching Your Belt: Leather to leather, cloth to cloth. The color of your belt should match your shoes to create a cohesive look. Black and brown leather belts are the most versatile.
- Braces/ Suspenders: Kicking it old school as some would say. For that vintage or classic look, consider wearing suspenders. They can be worn with or without a belt, but never both. Braces pair great with three-piece suits.

- Watches
- Dress Watches: Put away that Apple Watch and grab a slim, elegant watch. With your tailored suit, a watch with a leather strap is ideal for formal occasions. Choose a metal that matches your cufflinks and belt buckle for a coordinated look.
- Chronograph Watches: For a more robust look, a chronograph or metal band watch can be paired with less formal suits, adding a touch of modern sophistication.

- Shoes and Socks
- Formal Shoes: The classic suit shoe combo. Our favorites are the Oxfords and Derbies which are classic choices for formal suits. Black shoes pair well with darker suits, while brown shoes complement navy and gray suits.
- Casual Shoes: Loafers or brogues are suitable for less formal occasions. Experiment with colors like tan or burgundy for a stylish twist.
- Sneakers: Going for a modern look? Pairing your suit with sneakers can really elevate your style. Low top sneakers pair best with suits, think dunks, joggers, etc.
- Socks: Cloth to Cloth, your socks should match your pants, but feel free to add a bit of personality with subtle patterns or colors.
