Alright, folks, let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately – the whole “suit and Jordans” combo. I’ve been seeing this trend pop up more and more, and I gotta say, I’m intrigued. So, I decided to give it a shot myself and see what all the fuss is about.
First off, I needed a suit. I went with a classic navy blue one – can’t go wrong with that, right? Then came the real challenge: picking the right Jordans. Now, I’m no sneakerhead, but I do have a few pairs in my collection. I read somewhere that Jordan 1 lows are the best choice because they show off your ankle, so that narrowed it down. I’ve got a pair of those classic black and white Jordan 1 lows, and a pair of the red and black “Chicago” ones.
I started with the black and white ones. Tried them on with the suit, and you know what? It wasn’t half bad! The low-cut style of the shoes kept things from looking too bulky, and the colors didn’t clash. I even walked around the house a bit to see how it felt. Pretty comfortable, actually.
Next, I swapped them out for the “Chicago” colorway. Now, this was a bolder move. Red and black shoes with a navy blue suit? It could either be a slam dunk or a total airball. But I figured, what the heck, let’s see what happens. Put them on, looked in the mirror, and… I was surprised! It worked! I think the key was that the red wasn’t too bright, and the black parts of the shoe helped tie it back to the suit. I even took it a step further and added a red pocket square, just to make the color pop a bit more. Nailed it! I felt like I was ready to attend some fancy event or something.
But I was curious about other Jordans too. I remembered reading that some people have rocked the Jordan 3 with a suit, but the advice was to make sure the pants sit on top of the shoe since the 3s have a bulkier look. I don’t have any 3s, but I do have a pair of Jordan 11s. Those are pretty sleek, so I gave them a whirl. And you know what? They looked pretty sharp! I think the patent leather on the 11s gave it a dressier vibe, which worked well with the suit.
I spent the rest of the day experimenting with different combinations, trying different colored suits and different Jordan colorways. And honestly, I had a blast. It was fun to step outside of my usual style and try something new. Plus, it felt good to challenge those old-school fashion rules.
The Takeaway
- Jordan 1 Lows: Definitely a safe bet. The low cut keeps things looking clean, and they come in so many colors, you’re bound to find one that works with your suit.
- Jordan 11s: Surprisingly good! The patent leather gives them a dressier feel, so they can actually look pretty classy with a suit.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment: Try different colors, different styles, and see what works for you. Fashion is all about expressing yourself, so have fun with it!
So, there you have it, my little adventure into the world of suits and Jordans. It was a fun ride, and I definitely learned a thing or two. Would I wear this to a wedding? Maybe not. But to a less formal event? Absolutely! It’s all about finding the right balance and feeling confident in what you’re wearing. And hey, if you’re feeling bold, why not give it a shot? You might be surprised at how good you look!
