Welcome to Joe’s style stories, where we reveal all we know about how to style the staple ranges of our collection. First up is men’s tailoring, and what a belter this season is!
Read on to get to grips with how to put together the perfect tailored outfit.
First thing’s first. If you want that double-take kind of dapper look, it’s all about the double collars. A super smart occasion usually calls for a white shirt, however a dark navy can be just as impactful. The Delightful Double Collar Shirt is a great piece to show your sense of style, so pick from the white or black choices depending on the rest of your ensemble.
We love little more than a funky shirt for an event. Show your fun side with a funky shirt and tear up that dancefloor! For a funky summer shirt, florals are always a good choice. However, if you really want your personality to shine, go for a unique print with a vibrant colour palette, allowing you to team it up with a waistcoat and plain blazer to take it up a notch.
Our Japanese-inspired Brilliant Short Sleeve Bamboo Shirt features a lovely bird print along with embroidered Japanese text, whereas our Work of Art Shirt has a captivating Vincent Van Gogh inspired print, that'll bring a creative spin to your summer occasionwear.
Regardless of the occasion, it’s actually completely fine to wear dark jeans with a blazer and waistcoat combo. Becoming trendy years ago, the style is officially here to stay!
Jeans are best worn with a suit when they’re dark in colour, tailored and smart (i.e., not distressed), such as our Remarkable Regular Jeans or Charming Chino Trousers. Bonus points if you roll them up at the cuff to finesse the look.
Joe Browns waistcoats are known to be funky and full of fun, such as our Fabulous Floral Waistcoat, Check Waistcoat, and Charming Check Waistcoat, and are designed to be the hero pieces of the outfit. Choose these if you’re wearing a block-coloured shirt to bring some dimension to the whole outfit.
For the funky shirt lovers, opt for a block-coloured waistcoat such as the Enjoy the Ride Waistcoat or the Sensational Suave Suit Waistcoat. Try to correspond the colours of your funky shirt with the colour of the waistcoat for bonus points. Either way, your ensemble is set to look dynamic from the get-go.
Don’t be afraid of the blazer, they’re incredibly versatile and can be worn for literally any occasion. Opt for a matching blazer to your waistcoat, or – if you’re feeling brave – mix and match! Joe Browns blazers are tailored fantastically well and walk that fine line between funky and smart, so you can be sure to get a great effect.
Our Pinstrip Textured Blazer matches its waistcoat counterpart, meaning the deep navy hues, sleek pinstripes, and paisley lining ae a perfect match for the Pinstripe Textured Waistcoat.
If you’re intent on wearing your waistcoat and blazer for more than just special occasions, try out our Everyday tailored menswear! It’s smart enough for work while still being on par for an occasion. Perfect for the laid-back, relaxed kind of guy. Available in sand or navy, the Everyday Blazer and matching waistcoat offer a dapper, twill fabric texture that’s hard to find on the high street.
Their unique pocket panels and heavy cord material speak for themselves, promising absolute quality. They also pair superbly with a collarless shirt, such as Joe’s Glorious Grandad Shirt. All these items together give off a great rustic charm that’s perfect for a day at the races or a countryside event.
