The rules are simple: match your leathers (belt and shoes the same colour), let the pocket square complement rather than match the tie exactly, keep the watch understated for formal events, and use socks to bridge trouser and shoe. Accessories should finish a well-fitted suit, not shout over it, restraint reads as taste. We make suits from $299, rated 5.0 from 184 Google reviews.

Match your leathers
| Suit | Shoes & belt |
|---|---|
| Navy | Brown or black (brown is more modern) |
| Charcoal / grey | Black or dark brown |
| Light grey / blue | Brown tones |
| Black / tuxedo | Black only |
The pocket square
It should pick up one colour from your outfit, not perfectly match the tie. A plain white square is the safest, sharpest option for weddings and formal events. Fold simply; a straight (presidential) fold is foolproof, see matching shirt and tie.
Watches, socks and the small stuff
Keep the watch slim and understated for formal wear; a bold sports watch can undercut a tuxedo. Socks should bridge trouser and shoe in tone, novelty socks only for relaxed events. A tie bar, if worn, sits between the third and fourth shirt buttons.
Do not over-accessorise
Pick a couple of elements to do the work, watch and pocket square, for example, and let the suit’s fit carry the look. The most stylish men look effortless because they edit, not because they pile things on. The base is always a suit that fits, see our men’s style guide.
