Formal attire doesn’t have to be complicated. All it requires is perfecting the basics: a tailored suit, blazers, dress shirt and tie.

Casual fabrics with loud patterns and over textured finishes should be avoided in favor of rich worsted wools with high S numbers, blended noble fibers like alpaca silk cashmere or structured cotton or linen blend fabrics (depending on climate conditions).
Styling wise, 3-piece suits add depth to the formal attire. Single and double-breasted waistcoats are worn with single-breasted suits – and dark gray, burgundy, navy or dark blue hues are excellent formal choices.
Colorwise, classic black, gray and navy suits paired with crisp white button-up shirts are always appropriate in most combinations. Light shades like light green and brown also work nicely depending on the occasion.
