Why Men’s Walking Suits Are a Stylish and Comfortable Alternative to Traditional Casual Wear

Have you heard about men’s walking suits? They will quickly become your new favorite if you want to look stylish and dapper without sacrificing comfort. At Suit Secret, we carry these suits in styles that perfectly blend sophistication and comfort. These understated yet eye-catching styles bridge the gap between casual and formal wear, offering the ease of athleisure with the polished look of business attire! Take a look at this Montique Men’s Cognac Houndstooth Long Sleeve Walking Suit 2378 to see what we mean.

In this blog, we will delve deeper into men’s walking suits and what makes them the next best thing to workout gear if you’re looking for something relaxed but still sophisticated and stylish enough to wear to dressier places.

A closer look at walking suits

The walking suit often features a button-down shirt and trousers crafted from the same fabric for a coordinated ensemble. This Burgundy Long-Sleeve Solid Fabric Walking Suit 1641 is a good example. It’s very different from the traditional business suit because of its more relaxed fit and less formal structure, but the refined materials and coordinated look elevate it above casual wear.

What makes walking suits comfortable yet stylish?

Walking suits are becoming more popular in the US, especially in the southern states. In warmer climates, they offer a cooler alternative to traditional suits that can often be too hot to wear. The breathable and lightweight design will keep you comfortable without compromising style.

Better airflow

Men’s walking suits are often made from cotton, soft polyester blends, linen, and other lightweight fabrics that allow better airflow. That’s how they keep you cool and comfortable, even when temperatures are high. This makes them perfect if you want to look fashionable without overheating in the summer. They make your OOTDs look nicer when you’re on holiday in southern or tropical countries, too!

Coordinated styling

Walking suits stand out with their coordinated style. The matching pants and shirt make you look effortlessly put-together and polished, so you can express your personal style casually. Most men’s walking suits are made of lightweight fabrics that make them ideal for less formal settings or warm weather. This Navy Blue Long-Sleeved Solid Fabric Walking Suit 1641 is made from soft poly fabric that makes it comfortable while giving it a premium look and feel.

There’s a walking suit for everyone

At Suit Secret, we carry men’s walking suits in a variety of fabrics, colors, and patterns, so you’ll surely find something to suit your taste or any occasion. We even have short-sleeved summer-friendly walking suits like this Cream Linen Casual Summer Outfit Rizzo RMSO. The linen/cotton fabric and open collar will keep you cool, while the pleated pants and regular fit will ensure you look stylish, even in hot weather. You can wear it to casual gatherings or outdoor events in the summer.

Do you want a more covered look or something suitable for cooler temperatures? Our long-sleeve walking suits provide a stylish option while having the same casual vibe of short-sleeved versions, as you can see in this Men’s Navy Long Sleeve Mini Check Walking Suit 2257.

When should you wear a walking suit?

Walking suits have this relaxed vibe that might make you wonder when and where to wear them.

Ideal occasions to wear walking suits

If an event or setting calls for a touch of sophistication but not necessarily formal, a walking suit will make you look your best. These include casual daytime events, such as outdoor garden parties and brunch. You could even wear them at an informal dinner. Anytime you want to be comfortable yet look put-together, it is perfect for wearing a walking suit.

When not to wear walking suits

Naturally, it's not acceptable to wear men’s walking suits to a formal event that requires a suit and tie. Instead, consider wearing something from our carefully curated selection of three-piece suits.

Similarly, a walking suit might be too casual in strictly business settings. You're better off wearing one of our classic 2-piece suits that will make you look stylish in the office or business meetings. Do you want to score more style points in a corporate setting? Our double-breasted suits can help with that!

The bottom line is that walking suits require a fine balance between acknowledging dress codes and understanding their understated, casual elegance. Remember these guidelines so you can confidently wear our men’s walking suits and be dressed to impress at appropriate times.

Style tips for walking suits

Styling a walking suit can be tricky and is all about the details. If you don’t want to look like you’re wearing pajamas, here are a few tips to help you look stylish and put together:

Pick the right fabric

Make sure the pants and shirt are made from the same crisp fabric. Complementary solid colors are always your best bet, but don’t be afraid to wear subtle patterns like this Montique Black Long-Sleeved Herringbone Walking Suite 2277.

Accessorize

Accessories go a long way in personalizing men’s walking suits. A nice hat, a striking belt, and an eye-catching watch can make a difference in your overall look. For a more refined vibe, understated cufflinks and a pocket square should do the trick!

It’s in the shoes!

Choose shoes that are suitable for the weather and occasion. For warm weather and casual events, opt for elegant sandals or loafers. To elevate your walking suit for smart-casual or semi-formal occasions, consider pairing it with oxfords or polished brogues.
