Casual suits?

Somewhat clueless about this; I only just started wearing suits again in ANY context. What suit styles would look good for wearing in the daytime and when not at work? And how about at night? (dependent on location, obv)

What about the suit jacket and jeans combination?

This one is pretty good, lightweight and good cut. Where are you finding the pics

I like the look, but your suitcoat does wear out quicker. Not a big concern really, but I’d have to buy more suits first- I have only two!
Leather blazer, white shirt dress shoes and skinny black tie is a favourite combo of mine with jeans, though.

You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.

It's all about having the appropriate weight for the appropriate season.

We have a very long and good thread about jeans and blazers / suit tops search for it.
A conservative suit will work everywhere. Make sure it fits.
Although probably you don't want to wear your suit to the beach.
Those more flashy colorful ones... I've never worn. Never seen anyone wear. You'd be peacocking simply by this fact.
I'll let people more experienced to weigh in about the orange suit but charcoal, gray, navy suits work all around.
Places where guys on rvf have suggested suits do worse:
lower middle class bars
dorms
Malls in a small town
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Cotton is great for suits in hot climates. And feel better against your skin than wool. I have a couple. The only problem is they crease if you even just THINK of sitting down. I'd choose a cotton/synthetic mix if the synthetic added would make more crease-proof.

I have a tailored grey suit and now the trousers do not fit since I've lost weight. Its not sports coat but do you think I could pass of the coat with a pair of jeans?
