Even though it may be foolish, The Great Gatsby has inspired my style ever since my senior year of high school. From the moment I read about his pink suit I just had to have one. It was not until years later that I realized that it represented him having money but no class... But even knowing that, I freaking love my pink suit.
I had to wait until it went on clearance on Bonobos and then used a 30% coupon code on top of that, which brought it down to a reasonable price. That is why you should always sign up to receive emails from your favorite companys and websites. While they do send you a lot of junk to weed through, they also notify you of sales and give you discount codes which when used together can save you a tone of cash!
While a suit must always fit well, it is exceptionally important when wearing a bright and flashy suit. If it is even slightly baggy, you can quickly go from a stylish man with a devil-may-care attitude to some wannabe pimp. And nobody wants that!
Since the suit is doing all of the talking everything else must be simple. That is why I paired it with a simple light blue shirt, muted gingham bow tie and black blucher shoes. ( Here's a quick guide that explains the differences between men's dress shoes)
