One suit, five looks? Here's how.

With better dressing becoming a strong statement for this season, how do you update your look while getting the most out of your wardrobe? When you invest in a quality suit, you want to maximise your exposure. In days gone by, men’s suits hung around in the wardrobe until they were called into action for Big Occasions. Sorta seems a waste, yeah?

At Van Heusen, we believe in making the most of your good gear. You might call it adaptive dressing, modular dressing or multi-functional dressing. It’s all about making an investment in personal style.

Here’s how to get five looks from three pieces.

1. GOAT Mode

This is the full package. Matching jacket, vest and pants. Flat colour or checks. Add a colour keyed shirt, clubby tie, splash of colour with a pocket square and shoulders-back body language. This is how you dominate weddings, race meetings and high-end events. Should there be some ankle? Maybe.

 

2. Park the vest. Celebrate the shirt

Loosen up the look with a great shirt, open-necked if you please. Could be a micro print, striped, floral or signature black. Of course, clean and white is always right. The emphasis here is quality.

3. "That's a cool jacket..."

Team some chinos or jeans with a polo or a fresh t-shirt to relax your style. Then you can always stand out with a killer jacket. The tailored silhouette says that you are a master of your own personal universe and you take a strong stance on dress code. Checked or plain, two-button or double-breasted? Linen always looks effortless. Experiment until you find the right work / play balance.

4. Tone on tone. Texture on texture

This is where to get creative and be easy on the eye. Tonal colour variations let you be subtle with a shirt and tie combo or become a background to some hot colour. And textures that play well together put you in the Advanced category of well-dressed men.

Exclusive collection available online and selected MYER stores in Australia and New Zealand.

5. Smarter casual

Blur the lines between work and casual by dressing down your work outfit. Your tailored suit trousers and shirt combo can shift to evening mode just by leaving the jacket behind. Loosen or lose the tie. ‘Always dress like you’ve got somewhere better to go later’ is a solid guiding principle. Or you can blur the boundaries by throwing in some relaxed footwear like old-school Converse or a fresh set of kicks.

Whatever the moment, Van Heusen has your style. Any wear, any time.
