What Goes With A Black Suit Jacket?

Fukuyama

I have a black suit jacket/blazer.

What goes with that for a casual look? Jeans and a tee?

What colours? Shoes or runners or canvas?

Need help

For going out to clubs etc..

I'm 18 btw..

18 !! ... wearing a suit doesnt mean you'll get in anywhere...infact most girls your age would prob laugh at you.

respectable jeans ....shirt... jacket and shoes.

at your age suit jacket and jeans would look silly - in my opinion.

Dress shirt, tie, good shoes. Dress the jacket up. Wearing a dinner jacket with jeans is contrast enough. Adding t-shirts and trainers/converse just looks like you picked up someone else s jacket.

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. You're just going to look silly at 18 (or any age). Don't do it. Just wear your normal clothes to a club and have a look at what other people are wearing and go with that style going forward.

A blazer with jeans is a pretty horrendous look that some people get away with. Most do not.

Enjoy clubbing!

Hmm, think he's wanting to look a bit more casual than that. We're not all as classy as yourself, Mr. Goat!



OP, the issue you'll have with putting an outfit together here is gonna be finding something that fits your style and physicality. For example, if you were going to wear a t-shirt with a blazer, you'd wanna have a fairly steady build (ie. broad chest and shoulders), otherwise you'll sink into the jacket and it'll look more like an overcoat* or something.

The best advice I can give is to find a look online that you like and try to emulate that. Pick something that will work for your own style and physicality. I'd often wear a suit jacket with jeans and black converse and it works pretty well and the reason it works is cos it suits me and that's the most important part of it.
