A good suit is more than just a formal uniform—it’s a versatile addition to your wardrobe that shouldn’t be left to languish between weddings. Our Stevens suiting was designed with this in mind. Not only does it shine in formal settings, but its individual pieces—The Stevens Sportcoat and Stevens Trousers—are made to be worn on their own, bringing understated elevation to even the most casual occasions.
Here’s how to make the most of your suit by treating it as more than just a set.
Keep It Classic: The Full Suit
When it’s time to suit up for something formal, like a wedding or a meeting, there’s no substitute for a sharp, tailored suit. Pairing up The Stevens Sportcoat and Stevens Trousers brings a clean, timeless aesthetic to the table. Finish it off with a crisp button-down shirt, and you’ve got a look that’s refined without feeling too rigid.
But what makes the Stevens suiting special is its versatility outside of special occasions. This suit is built to stand the test of time, both in terms of durability and style, so why not get more use out of it?
A Touch Of Tailoring: The Sportcoat as a Separate
The beauty of a well-made sportcoat is that it doesn’t have to be saved for formal occasions. The Stevens Sportcoat looks just as good over a casual outfit as it does with a shirt and tie. Try throwing it on over a t-shirt and pair it with selvedge denim jeans or your favorite set of chinos. This kind of mix-and-match approach gives you the flexibility to wear a piece that would normally be “too dressy” for a casual setting, while still keeping the overall vibe relaxed.
Bottom-Up Styling: The Trousers on their Own
The slim-straight silhouette and comfortable, breathable wool of The Stevens Trouser make them a solid option for a wide range of settings. Pair them with a crewneck men’s sweater or a well-fitted tee to elevate your outfit without looking boardroom-bound. In terms of footwear, a pair of loafers is great if you want to lean into the “smart casual” aesthetic, while a pair of sneakers creates a fun contrast that looks great in any setting.
In most cases, this means letting the plaid pattern of your flannel act as the centerpiece of your outfit by pairing it with neutral or solid color garments. For instance, if you’ve got a colorful plaid flannel shirt on, you could pair it with a simple white tee and blue jeans or a black shirt and black jeans.
Versatility At Its Core
At the heart of our Stevens suiting is versatility. Sure, it’s a no-brainer for formal events, but it’s designed to be lived in—whether you’re dressing it up for a wedding or breaking it apart for a laid-back weekend look. By rethinking how and when you wear each piece, you can get the most out of your suit instead of letting it gather dust in the back of your closet.
The key takeaway? Don’t let formality dictate when you wear these pieces. The Stevens Sportcoat and Stevens Trousers are built to blend seamlessly into your everyday rotation—proving that a great suit doesn’t have to be a once-in-a-while outfit.
