Breaking Up A Suit

A lot of the stuffy rules surrounding menswear are without merit, but there are a couple of really good reasons why you shouldn't break up your suit and wear the jacket and trousers separately:

- A jacket that looks like it belongs with a suit is probably going to look like an orphaned spare part when worn with other trousers.
- Trousers wear out faster than jackets; wearing the pants more will accelerate this.
