Navy suit jackets certainly can be
worn with other things, but you're right, you do have to be careful.
Can you let me know your husband's age and size? The last thing I
want to do is recommend unsuitable attire!
Also, have you checked with a
tailor that the pants cannot be altered? Most navy suit pants can be
either let out or taken in by up to 1 3/4 inches if done properly,
and of course the hems can be altered to navy suit length as well.
Ok, the dark blue subtle
pinstripe suit, this is where the importance of your husband's
age comes in! I would recommend using this for an informal/formal
look and teaming it with a smart pair of jeans, and a formal work
shirt.
Matching this jacket with a pair
of formal pants will be nigh on impossible, but matching it with
jeans and going for a casual yet still smart look is easily done.
What you have to do is think about the accessories. As I said, a
nice oxford shirt in either a pale blue or white, along with a pair
of smart jeans and then a black belt and black shoes, either plain
oxfords or perhaps a pair of suede loafers even.
For the glen plaid, this can be
matched into something more formal and worn almost as you would a
sports jacket. Pants will have to be dark, plain and pleated. I
would recommend dark navy pants, and brown
shoes and belt. In terms of shirt and tie, you can't go far
wrong with a white shirt, and then a tie that brings out a bit of
the color in the glen plaid, so a tie with a hint of red in would go
nicely.
If you are looking for a more
western interpretation, then you can find navy suits with a mandarin
influence, or perhaps a Nehru style
navy suit which fuses Indian themes within the navy suit style.
I would avoid the white shirt/black tie routine, it'll either make
you look like you're going to a funeral, or going to carry out a hit
on someone!
What you need for interviews is
something safe, but also nice and smart. You can't go too far wrong
with a pastel blue (not a navy blue, more of a sky blue)
cotton shirt with tie that has gold/yellow/blue in it.
Alternatively a lilac shirt with a tie that has a combination of
purple/blue in it works well.
A general rule of thumb that I
advise is that the darker the shirt, the lighter the tie color to
lift it. The opposite of that works too, i.e. if you're wearing a
very light shirt, then a heavier colored tie is good.
I say go ahead and buy the navy
suit. It sounds like a winner. There are always a lot of questions
asking whether or not a double breasted navy suit is hip and I say
it can be. It's a classic look that will never go out of style -
although, sometimes the look is more "in fashion" than others.
However, because this navy suit is a classic it tends to look better
on men and not young men or teens.
