For example, you could jazz up your suit by wearing a lavender button-up with a subtle pinstripe pattern. But you definitely wouldn’t want to wear a shirt with a watermelon print all over it.
Don’t feel like you have to wear a tie if you don’t want to. Go tie-less for a refined, slightly more casual look. If you do wear a tie to an event and you feel overdressed, don’t be embarrassed to take it off to dress down some.
Don’t forget to wear plain dress socks. White gym socks peeking out at your ankles will ruin all the hard work you put into the rest of your outfit.
