Suit combinations are meant for those men who like to dress dapper and sophisticated on a daily basis, without having to wear a matching suit.

The great thing is mixing and matching your jackets and trousers help get the most out of your wardrobe collection, various combinations can also be dressed up or down easily to match the occasion.

So, to ensure you are successful, this article aims to highlight five fail-safe separates pairings that utilise pieces the majority of men will already have in their wardrobe…

Thus, we present five full proof separates pairings that require pieces that most men will already have in their wardrobe…here are five of the most common separate combinations:

1.) Navy blazer on khaki/beige pants: A navy jacket with beige trousers is one of the most practical combinations ever. No matter how you wear it, you’re sure to look good. You can add on a tie, shirt and monk-strap shoes for an evening event, or a crew neck t-shirt and simple leather sneakers for casual events.

2.) Grey blazer on navy blue pants: A grey blazer with navy trousers is great for both formal and informal events, this dapper and minimal pairing is sure to make you stylish and confident. Also reversing the look is a nice idea, like a navy blazer with grey trousers for casual events and a grey jacket and navy trousers for formal occasions.

3.) Black blazer on grey pants: Black and grey, when combined with a shirt, tie and shoes is great for any formal event. However, you can also wear them at non-formal occasions. They are also appropriate for nights out. If you want to dress realistically but look dapper, try exchanging your shirt and tie for an easy t-shirt or polo, and your dress shoes for something more casual, such as leather loafers or trainers.

4.) Tweed blazer on denim pants: This is great for those who like a not so clean approach to their individual style. To create an outfit, we suggest teaming with a pair of trendy Chelsea boots and a textured shirt for a casual look, adding a tie and leather brogues for smart-casual events.

5.) Colored blazers on white pants: No matter the color of blazer you opt for, pairing it with a white pair of pants/jeans will give off a classy and sophisticated look. To create your outfit, pair your fitted pants with sockless boat shoes and a t-shirt for an evening out on holiday.

Then switch to a cutaway collar shirt, solid tie and loafers for a summer wedding reception. You should consider your skin tone when choosing a color of blazer to wear. Luckily, Nigerians are blessed with versatile skin tones that work with just about any color.
