There is something to be said about a man who is secure enough to march to the beat of his own style drum. For NBA player Dwyane Wade, there are absolutely no limits as to what he will wear. It seems that there isn’t a color too bright nor a pant hemline too high for him to pull off. Simply put, the ambassador of Hublot and Nike, pushes the envelope and doesn’t care who’s impressed (or unimpressed, as the case may be) with his looks. Now, that’s what you call a style leader!
So, if you’re looking for a few ways to spruce up your suit for the office and beyond, take a few cues from Star Style Dwyane Wade’s most wearable suit ensembles.
Dress up a pair of distressed jeans with a colorful jacket and accessories, and leave the rugged work boots and sweatshirt for another day.
A vest can be a perfect stand in for a blazer. It can be worn with matching trousers or coordinated with a pair in a different color or texture.
Don’t go for a run-of-the-mill tuxedo, if you’re not a run-of-the-mill kind of guy. Don’t forget the wingtip shoes!
Sneakers can be worn with a suit, especially when they’re fashion-forward. Push the envelope with animal-print kicks (yes, fellas, animal print).
An unconventional wild card can be played when the overall look is classic. Case in point, try waking up a preppy look with a bright pair of shoes. Real men can wear pink — after all, it’s just a color for Pete’s sake.
There is a place for business and your favorite basketball sneakers while off the clock. Dress your suit down with a logo Tee and coordinated high-top sneakers for a party night.
Remix your navy suit into a no-fuss nautical look simply by adding a red Tee.
What better way to let your style scream summer other than with white capri pants? They absolutely are a pants style that men, can wear too. For a modern day, “Miami Vice”-inspired look, pair them with a button down, blazer, and loafer or driving moccasin. Men who are comfortable showing their feet can even try the look with a leather slide — but don’t forget to buff those toes and heels!
