Our outfit ideas to wear the suit differently

Nos idées de tenue pour porter le costume autrement
Whether it's to mark the occasion at the office, a trip to the restaurant or smart friends getting married outside of high season, the members of our team show you how they like to wear the suit during the back-to-school season. Inspiration to take yours out of its cover and the opportunity to reveal our new Toso set, available now on our e-shop and in store.

“To bring my look to a soft tailoring side, I chose the very soft Arezzo polo shirt .

I like the open collar of this knit, which sits delicately on the lapel of the suit. It's a gimmick that I like. And I find that its sea green color works well with the blue of the suit, it adds pep without contrasting too much.

On his feet, brown suede derbies. Of course, brown shoes always go with a blue suit. And suede leather is a little more casual than smooth leather, which is good because the outfit is a little casual.”

“Finally, a colorful bandana because I think the V-neck of this sweater calls for a neck accessory. It could be a gold chain too, or even a round neck of a t-shirt.

This is typically the kind of outfit I could wear for no special occasion. I like to wear the costume from time to time. Sometimes I just want a little elegance and I can easily get the suit.”

“An idea that I like to break the routine with a blue suit: pick a patterned shirt from your summer wardrobe.

Much lighter than the jacket, it contrasts just right to make the outfit readable. Like a sky blue shirt would. Its touches of green go well with navy blue, as is the case with the sea green of David's Arezzo sweater.

I find that this association makes sense with the Cuban collar over the lapels of the jacket. It shows that we are completely appropriating the costume, reinterpreting it in a summery and relaxed way. Hence the moccasins, which have more of their place in this outfit than dress shoes. I preferred them brown to recall the little terracotta designs of the shirt, but with black it would work too!

With the gray Breno suit, I wanted to offer a simpler outfit, to put on in the morning without thinking too much: white t-shirt for comfort, purple Converse for a touch of color. A way to wear the suit without going too much, for a day at the office and especially the drink with colleagues that comes afterwards. Obviously."

BonneGueule western jacket, pants and belt. Vintage t-shirt and Wallabee shoes from Clarks.

"I like to feel elegant in a suit without looking too dressed up. I don't like spending time over an ironing board. At the same time, who does?

In short, like Antoine, I choose the t-shirt option. Khaki, because it goes very well with navy blue.

When we want to make comfort a priority for our feet, Wallabees are a good alternative to the suit-sneaker combination. I also find that their earthy color and adventurous shape work well with this BonneGueule western belt."

“For my part, I wanted to offer you an idea for mismatching a gray suit jacket.

To start, I thought of my beige chinos which fit in well with its continuity. Different shades, but similar intensities. A smooth material that doesn't steal the show from its mottled texture. Volumes that I found consistent, because I deliberately chose a slightly loose jacket size and a generous carrot cut.

Same principle of continuity for the ecru shirt, which contrasts with the chinos and fits as easily under the jacket as a white shirt. Its officer collar and downy texture are also consistent with the relaxed look of the outfit.

Now, we have to decide so that the continuity does not become monotonous: Black Paraboots, less predictable than brown to punctuate these beige chinos and green cap."

Jacket, pants, shirt (available on 09/21) and BonneGueule tie. Alden loafers.

“At a time when suits are becoming more and more casual and mismatched, I wanted to show that at BonneGueule, we could also offer a beautiful outfit that was elegant and classic but not ordinary.

So I took the opposite approach with an outfit that may seem simple at first glance, but which reveals its subtleties when you focus on its textures: the mottled and bright fabric of the suit, the discreet chevron of the tie and the reliefs of the dobby shirt.

On my feet, I chose Alden moccasins that I brought back from a trip, with beautiful suede leather and a summery feel that fits in well with the mildness of this month of September.

This is how I design my outfits when I wear the suit: simple, sober colors but enhanced by materials that express themselves."
