How to Wear the Same Suit All Week

Whether you're on a business trip or just trying to conserve funds, making one suit last all week is a plus. By varying your accessories and attending to maintenance, you can easily get five outfits out of one classic business suit, and no one will know the difference. To save time and money, you can wear the same suit to work all week and still look good.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Buy classic suits. The quality and cut of the suit are important. Choose a good quality suit with classic lines. A trendy fit draws attention and makes your suit memorable any day you wear it. Classic lines make you look professional without bringing attention to the suit itself.

2. Hang it up. What you do with the suit when you're not wearing it is as important as what you do when you have the suit on. At the end of the day, spot clean the suit if necessary. Properly hang the suit on a suit hanger to reshape it and avoid extra wrinkles. The next morning, 5 minutes with a steam iron can make any suit look fresh from the cleaners.

3. Coordinate colors. Your suit should be a basic neutral to avoid drawing attention. If you wear a red suit, everyone is going to recognize it the next day, but navy suits all tend to look alike. Instead, draw attention to your accessories and vary them every day. Go with a bright blue shirt one day and a yellow one the next. People will notice your shirts, but not the suit.

4. Skip the jacket. Choose a day when you can look a little more business casual. On that day, replace the suit jacket with a sweater. Coordinate your sweater color with your shirt, so the sweater stands out.
