 What's up guys? I'm Brian Sakawa. You're watching He Spoke Style and today I'm showing you five minimalist ways to style a navy suit. This video is sponsored by Everlane and I want to give a big thank you to the brand for supporting this channel. The suit I'm going to be wearing in this video is the Everlane Italian wool performance suit which they just introduced not too long ago. If you know Everlane you know that they have a minimalist aesthetic so that was sort of in my mind as I was putting these outfits together. Let's take a look. First up is one of my favorite ways to style a suit during the fall and winter months and that of course is with a turtleneck. It's clean, it's elegant, it really kind of elevates the suit and it projects this air of casual sophistication. Don't let anyone tell you you can't pair navy and black together, it looks totally fine. With this look especially it gives it a touch more elegance as something you could definitely wear for an evening event. Typically I'd use a white pocket square here just for a little contrast but keeping with that minimalist aesthetic I decided to go with a black pocket square just so everything was more cohesive. For an evening look like this I love wearing glasses. Again kind of lends some more sophistication to the look and then finished off of course with some black oxfords. Next we have kind of a high low casually dapper travel look. You know maybe a suit isn't the first thing you think to wear when traveling especially if you're traveling on a plane but if you have the right fabric it can actually be really comfortable. This suit is actually made from an Italian wool combined with 2% elastane which gives it a little bit of stretch which makes it very comfortable to wear even when you're sitting down and I have to say it steams out really easy. Now a couple casual elements here just a very classic heather grey athletic sweatshirt up top and anchored by some clean white sneakers. One thing you might have noticed that's missing is a pocket square totally intentional with a clean and simple and casual look like this. I thought that adding a pocket square actually created this dissonance kind of making it too formal and I also didn't like how it stuck out and took away from the cleanness of the suit. Here we have the simplest of simple business casual looks. Now the fit of this suit is slim as you can see the jacket fits really nice and the pants are slim as well. With this kind of aesthetic and silhouette simple is always best and it doesn't get any more simple than a classic white button up no tie. As you can see I did go with a pocket square here just to emphasize the business side of business casual. Now again because of the aesthetic of the suit it does for me have kind of a more sporty feel overall which is why I chose white sneakers over a dress shoe. Full disclosure I did try dress shoes on with this particular look and it just didn't work for me. Now we're going to transform the previous outfit into one that is definitely a business look. Two simple ways to do that first obviously adding the tie. Simple silk tie with a very symmetrical pattern playing into that overall minimalist feel and then anchored by a pair of black oxfords it's almost too easy. Now I get a lot of questions about price points for different suits especially from guys who are just starting out in their professional lives maybe just graduating college don't have the budget for something bespoke or nice made to measure currently but are looking for something that's luxury that doesn't cost a lot though and that they can get a lot out of. This suit is under $300 I think it's a great option for something that's very versatile and that from other retailers you might have to pay somewhere around 650 to $700 for. Finally just a really easy way to stay suited up but keep it casual and sporty at the same time this is a minimalist themed video so the only new thing we're seeing here is the top which is a crew neck sweater with some horizontal stripes and also if you look closely it has a very nice texture. My favorite kinds of details all the time are those that you sort of have to look for to really see. A little bit of contrast as well with the sweater it's a looser fit but I think it is a nice contrast with the slim fit of the suit gives it a casual and sporty kind of feel. Keeping with the casual and sporty we have again the white sneakers and I did decide to do the pocket square here with a puff fold to pull the lighter colors of the outfit together. Don't forget about minimalism it's a really easy way to always look good you only need a few pieces and it doesn't take that much effort. Thanks once again to Everlane for sponsoring this video.
