For many, navigating today’s world means making the most of what we have — whether that’s time, money, or our wardrobes.
In highly competitive industries, looking the part – while being savvy and resourceful about it – is as important as ever. Real estate, of course, is no exception. Global leader in custom apparel INDOCHINO has become a reliable go-to for the work wardrobes of countless Canadian professionals from coast to coast. With showrooms in cities across the country, the brand offers over 150 (!) fabrics to choose from, so clients can create a look that's uniquely theirs. Compliment-provoking custom suits start at just $499 CAD (but they look like they cost a lot more).
On the theme of making the most of what you have, an INDOCHINO suit (or a closet with a few INDOCHINO suits) can be extended even further than one might initially expect. Of course, a suit – whether crisp and formal, or light and linen-made – can be worn in full, but there are also ways to pair a suit jacket with slacks, fashion a vest unbuttoned for a casual networking event, or match an INDOCHINO button-up with a pair of linen shorts on a hot summer day (or mid-winter vacation).
The idea is to think outside of the box; that box being a traditional "full-piece suit." Here's how.

Managing the Mix and Match
While a brand-new INDOCHINO suit may be perfect for a formal wedding or gala, it’s simpler than you may think to create a more casual look. Case-in-point: INDOCHINO’s Harrogate Black Suit — an elegant statement in sleek black-on-black sophistication – goes well beyond what meets the eye, with a versatility that extends beyond formal occasions. Pair the blazer with jeans and a simple t-shirt, and you’ve effortlessly elevated a casual ensemble, making it perfect for after-work drinks or a weekend soirée. Likewise, combine the trousers with a hoodie, sweats and bomber jacket, and you’ll infuse your streetwear look with an unexpected touch of sophistication.
In essence, separating a suit can effortlessly transform a more casual look by pairing the divided pieces with relaxed, everyday staples.

When it comes to fabric, INDOCHINO’s Harrogate and Milano collections stand as timeless choices for year-round versatility. The Harrogate, an exquisite blend of luxury and practicality, features the softness of cashmere, while the brand’s Milano collection —crafted from 100% Italian-milled wool — embodies Old World craftsmanship with a modern touch of stretch, ideal for professionals seeking both elegance and ease in motion.

Work With Your Wardrobe
The big question for many, naturally, is where to start? The answer is: in your closet. When selecting your suit with the intent to separate its pieces, it’s important to consider the foundation of your current wardrobe. Reflect on the essential items you currently wear daily and those you wish to elevate. Classic colours like black, grey, and blue offer effortless versatility that will seamlessly fit amongst most wardrobes. An INDOCHINO suit effortlessly complements a wide range of wardrobe essentials that you likely already own, or can purchase at affordable price points.
Whether paired with premium denim, luxurious knits, or elegant silk skirts and other eveningwear, an INDOCHINO suit’s versatility is designed to elevate any look. It also elevates business casual staple, like chinos, with ease. As for footwear, modern tailoring invites creativity — whether you’re more in tune with timeless penny loafers, statement-making chunky platforms, or sleek, sporty sneakers.

Consider Your Brand
Previously, we've explored how a custom suit can elevate your industry image and help define your unique brand in the ever-competitive real estate space. This can be done through everything from bold colour choices to fashion-forward tailoring.
Colour selection is deeply personal, shaped by one’s unique wardrobe and aesthetic. Do you embrace the clean lines of minimalism or the bold expression of maximalism? Do you want to come across as creative? Approachable? Adventurous? Practical? These are the types of questions to ask yourself when curating a versatile work wardrobe capsule collection.
If you’re still not sure, INDOCHINO’s in-showroom Style Guides are adept at curating the perfect palette to complement any client’s lifestyle.
In short, purchasing that expertly-tailored five-piece INDOCHINO suit can open your wardrobe up to a handful of new possibilities. The first step is booking your showroom fitting.
