 How to wear a statement suit, tip two of five, wear complementary pieces. When you're wearing a statement suit, it's important that you choose the rest of the outfit with intention. And the best way to pull an entire outfit together is by choosing pieces that complement the statement suit. Here, I went with a blue shirt and blue tie, along with dark brown oxfords, and these choices were not arbitrary. If you look closely at the plaid of the suit, you can see small blue and golden brown lines running through the pattern. It's quite subtle, but details like that are things to latch onto, build upon, and pull out as it makes everything look and feel coherent.
