Top 5 Men’s ‘Separates’ Combinations


Perfect for those who like to get the very most out of their clothing, separates – i.e. combining non-matching blazers and trousers – will not only breathe new life into your existing tailoring collection, but are perfect for creating a wealth of smart-casual or formal looks for a variety of occasions.
However, while anyone can put together two different garments, it takes a little more thought to get the colour/fabric combinations right. So, to ensure you are successful, this article aims to highlight five fail-safe separates pairings that utilise pieces the majority of men will already have in their wardrobe…
Navy Jacket With Beige/Khaki Trousers
Out of all the combinations this article will cover, a navy jacket with beige trousers is sure to prove the most versatile. Just as effective in the winter as it is in summer, this eye-pleasing pairing will have you looking your best whatever the occasion.Although there are no strict rules as to what style of blazer you should wear – single/double-breasted, notch/shawl/peak-lapelled and one/two/three-button designs are all fair game – we would suggest opting for an on-trend double-breasted version for formal occasions, switching for a classic two-button design when looking to dress down slightly.
To complete your outfit, simply add a tie, shirt and monk-strap shoes for an evening wedding reception, or a crew neck t-shirt and minimal leather trainers when meeting friends for lunch.
Those wanting something a bit more relaxed for dress-down Friday or a night out should try swapping the suit trousers for khaki/beige slim-fit chinos and the shirt for a knitted white polo. Finish with loafers in spring/summer and more practical dress boots in autumn/winter.
