40+ Ways to Set the Suit Free
Ruffled Shirt
No one captures the fantasy of playing dress-up quite like Loewe's Jonathan Anderson—just look at that sea-anemone bib ($3,900)!
Leopard Creepers
The shoes that shod the punk movement and rock revolution are still made in Northamptonshire, England, by George Cox—and they still look killer with a black suit ($290).
Pearl Earring
NYC-based jeweler Santangelo's freshwater-pearl drop earrings are the best argument for a lobe piercing since Michael Jordan's gold hoop ($105 for single earring).
Silk Pocket Square
The pocket square isn't dead. In fact, since you last checked, brands like Paul Smith have only been making them doper ($75).
Abstract Tie
Real tailored-clothing aficionados know the best Anglo-Italian look is crafted in Japan, where Camoshita has perfected the sack suit and casual silk tie ($180).
House Slippers
For Bode's footwear debut, Emily Adams Bode designed a slipper that's sturdy enough to be worn with a pajama set or a street-level suiting set ($815).
Repp-Striped Kilt
Swap out your suit pants for Thom Browne's resplendent knee-length pleated kilt, which has found fans in style mavericks like Lil Uzi Vert ($1,980).
