Can you combine tennis with formal looks?In war and fashion everything is worth, but you have to know the rules of the game, and know which ones can be broken to do it well and avoid making mistakes.
Fashion changes all the time and days when a man had to wear a suit, tie and dress shoes to be elegant already remained in the past (although there are cases in which they still apply), now you can take sweatshirts to the office,Tennis to a red carpet and change your button shirt for a good Tshirt to give a serious outfit touch.
There is no doubt that now you can be more creative, take more risks and even break gender roles with an outfit (Pete Davidson went to the MET gala and that is not uncommon), but that does not mean that all therules have disappeared and you can do what you want.There are errors that are not serious, but others make you look careless, unprofessional or as a child who plays to disguise, and they will never take you seriously and you will not do anything to add points to your appearance.
In fashion issues, the rules are rather guides or suggestions (you can put what you like and what makes you feel good, even if others do not understand it), but follow them is what you will make you look goodWith whatever you get and that even the slightest detail contributes something to your outfit in general.
Tennis with formal looks:
Beyond style and material, tennis color is the most important when you are going to combine with formal looks.The colors that work the most are black, gray and white, since they are classic colors that are not too striking and can be seen more elegant, they can even create the illusion that you are not using tennis, but shoes.
For a little more casual looks, blue, brown tennis or some other tone that is not too striking can also work.It's not that you can't wear yellow or red tennis, but that takes away more formality to the look.
This is another of the most important points.You must choose a silhouette that goes according to the style of your look, your pants or your suit, but you must also take care of the proportions of your garments.Too long pants will make it look like your pants are large, while very rough or chunky tennis prevent your look from look well provided (it will appear that you put clown shoes).
Just as a leather clock is more elegant than one of metal, among tennis there are also options that are more formal than others.As a general rule, leather tennis are always seen to see a little more formal than fabric, although it also uses suede tennis (although these are a little more delicate, especially in rainy times).
You can play between formal and casual without problems, but you must make sure that the formality of your outfit is consistent by combining it with certain tennis.If you are going to use a Sport sack, for example, you can wear more casual tennis, but if you are going to wear a more elegant suit, then you need skin tennis, preferably in dark color and without too many striking details that break the line.
Especially if they are going to be seen, you must make sure that your socks are correct.It is not worth putting socks to exercise, thick or with very childish drawings.You can use color, but always respecting your outfit's tones, and choosing a more beautiful and sophisticated material.
And if you are not going to wear socks, then choose a little shorter pants (ankle).To avoid sweating, you can choose “no show” socks, which are much smaller and will not appear on the sides of the shoe.
