A grey glen plaid suit offers more than just about British flair. It’s your gateway to sartorial versatility this summer (and all year).

From elevated smart casual vibes to the office or pulling triple duty at a wedding — this suit.
S-Gents subtle twist on the glen plaid suit is marked with a green stripe. The detail is enough of a conversation starter, when someone is close enough to notice or one of those style secrets that’s just for YOU.
The Smartest Of Smart Casual

We’ve talked about smart casual styling quite often here at MSP, so we’ll spare you the dissertation. But, here are a few elements that can almost guarantee the idea smart/casual look with this grey glen plaid suit is pulled off flawlessly.
- Ground this look with a open weave knit black polo shirt is subtle and somewhat genius. It’s light, breezy, sexy and tames the glen plaid pattern.
- Opting for a black bit loafer instead of a penny or tassel complements the grey color of the suit and adds a bit more depth to the look.
- Yes wearing jewelry with a smart casual suited look is more than fine. Some will love it and some will hate it – Do You! But, understand scale & quantity are key. Adding overly chunky and a ton of pieces will take away from the tailored nature of the look.

You can never keep a good suit down, especially with heading back to the office. Just remember there are levels to glen plaid suiting and this one is slightly on the bolder side. So, keep everything in the outfit clean and classic.
By doing so, you’ll be able to wear this exact outfit to the office and crush any meeting. Or, you can rock this to a wedding that doesn’t have a “black tie” dress code. This will give you a bit more flair and you’ll get some additional wear out of this suit.
- Shirt Pairings: Oxford OCBD in Blue, White, Pink. Light blue denim.
- A whole cut Oxford shoe will elevate the tailored boldness of this suit.
- Keep your ties solid and preferably a knit or textured wool.
- If you’re headed to a wedding that calls for black tie creative, pair this glen plaid jacket with a tuxedo pant and a black bow tie.
