 How to wear a statement suit, tip three of five, choose the occasion wisely. As much as I love and admire the spirit of people who dress however they want, whenever they want with a devil may care attitude, personally, I think you need to understand the situation and dress accordingly. You never wanna show up and be that guy. So reserve your statement suit for an occasion where it makes sense. A fun and festive get together? Absolutely. Pity, Womo? Sure. Just don't show up wearing a bold, plaid, double-breasted suit the first time you meet your new girlfriend's parents.
