Help with burgundy suit!

TheYardStick

Hi guys, I just recently got a great bargain on this suit but the only problem is it's not the three piece as seen in the picture above it's a two piece, missing the waistcoat. While I think it's nice on, I still feel like it's missing something. I want to add a waistcoat to this piece but I'm at a loss on what to get as I can't track down the waistcoat on it's own anywhere online. I was thinking instead about adding a waistcoat to contrast the blazer but I'm not sure what colour would be best, any suggestion?


Also, I'm also not sure what shoes to add as I want to stay away from black if it's possible. I was thinking maybe dark brown brogues?

Thanks!

maybe something tweedy?

I'd advice avoiding waistcoats.
Every lad in a suit wears a waistcoat now.
But if your set on wearing one, try a light grey. I think it would work well..

As for shoes, black would look good but a brown brogue pair could work well too.

And avoid a silk/shiny tie!

(Side note. Try a shirt with a bit of pattern like a gingham. But that depends on the occasion. And/or a pockets square but again that depends on the occasion)

Whatever you do, avoid green.

Definitely brown shoes over black.
