Every guy has a suit and tie—so how do you make yours look different? The easiest way is to change up the shirt, like actor Austin Butler (pictured above) did here. He wore an unexpected silk shirt under his sharp gray suit, which is more casual than your standard tailored look—but still stylish.
If you’re making a bold move with the shirt, make sure the rest of your outfit is polished. This will keep your look put together, even without the dress shirt. This specific style suit is a good one to change up. It’s modern (re: skinny lapels and no belt) so the shirt looks interesting, but not out of place. Navy or charcoal gray suits really make a cool shirt pop. Here are a few styles to consider.
The Printed Shirt
The Turtleneck
The turtleneck and blazer combination might pull inspiration from the ‘70s, but new fabrics and detailing make the look modern (Especially when you rock it like LeBron James). If you get a sweater in a breathable fabric, you’re also looking at an outfit that’s more comfortable than your standard stuffy dress shirt.
A relaxed mockneck ($40, hm.com) looks cool under a sharp suit. If you want to feel as comfortable as possible, cashmere is key ($50, uniqlo.com).
