Would you feel overdressed at work in a full suit, yet you don't want to give up an elegant style? Then separate jackets paired with trousers are an excellent compromise for you. On top of that you get the chance to better showcase your personal style and taste. Every combination is, after all, unique. Unlike a suit — which you buy as a complete set — you have to coordinate the trousers with the separate jacket yourself. Fortunately, there is nothing difficult about it. Just follow a few principles.
The jacket should take all the glory
Take your time when choosing a separate jacket. Your entire outfit stands on it. Unlike a suit jacket, with a separate one you have great freedom of choice. The cut, fabric, pattern and colours are entirely up to you. Do you fancy checked, pink or knitted jackets? No problem. The more relaxed the setting, the bolder the colours and patterns you can choose. And do not forget a pocket square in the breast pocket. It will further enhance the beauty of the jacket.
The main rule: do not overdo your style
Despite the freedom just mentioned, remember that less is sometimes more. While with the jacket you can give your imagination free rein, with separate trousers it is better to stay grounded.
The most conservative, less striking colours work best: grey, brown, black, navy and beige, or perhaps white. They should not be multi-coloured or patterned. After all, trousers are mostly just a supporting element.
Combinations that are a safe bet
But enough of theory. You are surely curious how various combinations look in practice. That is why we have prepared a few tips for you.
A brown checked pattern — an ideal example of a striking separate jacket that will catch the eye. Instead of dark jeans, you can also wear navy or beige cotton trousers.
If your jacket has a light shade, the trousers can be darker than the rest of the outfit. Navy chinos are an ideal choice in such cases.
Separate tweed jackets look excellent with darker shades of trousers. They also get along well with jeans. As you can see, the separate jacket is truly a wardrobe piece with which you can let your imagination run wild and create a genuinely original outfit that perfectly captures who you are.
