How to wear a suit as a private outfit? Recommendations, how to choose the right set-up for a casual coordinate, and snaps to look out for!

In this day and age of casual days and teleworking, many office casual wear has become the main work attire. The suit, which is also described as the businessperson’s battle uniform, is becoming more flexible in the way it can be worn, and casual down-to-earth styles with knitwear or T-shirts as innerwear are becoming more common, as well as no-tie styles. In the same way that casual office attire is becoming more common, an increasing number of fashionable men are focusing their attention on a more elegant, casual style of dress, centered on the suit, even in their casual wear. In this issue, we focus on the theme of wearing suits more casually with casual clothes, and introduce points of interest and recommended items!

Be aware of TPO and wear a casual suit that will make people around you like you!

In the same way as in business, weddings, and funerals, it is important to be aware of TPO when wearing a suit in casual wear. For example, if you are going out to dinner at a high-end restaurant, you can wear a suit with a knit item to add a touch of sophistication, but if you are going on a date to an amusement park on a holiday, it is a different story. However, a date at an amusement park on a holiday is a different story, requiring a more active and easy to move in tune.

For dinner at a restaurant or bar with a dress code, wear no tie and a little something out of the ordinary!

If you are going to a high-class restaurant with a dress code, we recommend styling that maintains a moderately formal feel. A cotton suit and a shirt with a collar that looks good without a necktie, and a slightly casual down-dated look is enough to create a casual impression. If you are in the mood to tie up, a knit tie with a rough weave pattern is just right for a subtle casual down-do.

If you’re going for a casual shopping or driving trip, wear an active suit style with a T-shirt and sneakers!

For a day of active activities, a set-up suit with a plain T-shirt and sneakers is appropriate. The key to achieving a look that is consistent with the suit is the choice of casual items that look clean, such as a smooth-knit, shiny crew-neck T-shirt and clean white sneakers.

Pay attention to the size of the suit! If you wear it as casual wear, the key is to make it look light!

Casual suits that can be worn privately are often designed to look light and airy in many places. The following three items are representative. We hope you will find them useful when selecting a suit.

(1) Natural shoulder
The natural shoulder specification frees suits from the impression of armor by making theshoulder pads thinner or omitting them. This specification alone makes it easy to wear a light style with a cut and sewn innerwear without feeling uncomfortable.

(2) Sporty patch pockets
The design of the pockets at the waist is one of the points that greatly affect the impression of a suit style. While flap pockets are commonly used for business suits, patch pockets are often used for suits tailored for casual wear.

(3) Light ankle-length
business suits are slightly cushioned to give them a stately appearance, while casual suits are ankle-length and light. When wearing sneakers on the feet, it is easier to achieve balance by wearing them with no cushion. Rolling up the sleeves on a dare to adjust the length and at the same time create a casual look is also an option.
