You can wear a brown suit at any event where the attire is "business casual" or even "smart casual." The color is inherently more casual than a dark worsted business suit in grey or navy, especially if the suit has a texture like tweed or corduroy.
In today's casual world, this is a good way to sneak in a more classic and always stylish outfit. With a brown suit, I recommend an oxford shirt in beige, cream, or striped blue. Avoid solid white with a tab collar, as that's more business-y. If you don't want to wear a tie with your brown suit, I recommend a camp collar shirt, maybe with the collar overtop the lapels of your jacket. Super cool!

you could go for a green or blue shirt for example and that opens you up to other ties. Light blue shirt with a dark / navy blue tie or green on green could be nice. I’ll also a big fan of brown/beige with black so that could be a fun way to try out new styles w your black suit :)

I love wearing a suit or sport jacket in a casual way. I'm absolutely comfortable in them and just feel good. They have as much charm as a more formal suit, but styling them is more open-ended, and leads to richer, more fun outfits. And it just feels good to show up to a casual occasion wearing a suit and still fit in because you styled it that damn well.

With the recent passing of David Lynch, I felt it necessary to explore his works in totality in tribute to the loss of a brilliant artist. This is a journey that I have not yet completed, but it has been a tremendous self-actualizing experience.
I am not alone in this journey. Last week, I watched Blue Velvet for the first time. Not long after I finished the film, analysis videos appeared on my Tiktok feed. It was a fine video and a sound analysis of the film, but not long after I felt as though I had been mentally visited by David Lynch's ghost; shaking his head in disappointment at me. For many years I had been happy to listen to reviews, video essays, other people's analyses, etc., sometimes even before coming to my own conclusions about them. I think the point of David Lynch's works — and indeed art, media, etc., broadly — is to keep asking questions about them. The second you come to a conclusion at all, you stop thinking about the work, and that magic of exploration is lost.
David Lynch believed that within every human being is a vast ocean of consciousness, a creative force within us all or — in a word — magic. When you sit, think, ask questions, and catch your own unique ideas, this is a scrap of magic from that creative ocean within you. It's what makes you human.
So please, put down your phone and log off of your computer a while. Go to a museum and stare at a painting that catches your fancy for a long, long time. Watch a weird artsy film and then take a walk in a park and argue with yourself. And never stop doing that. You are beautiful and capable of making ideas that no one else has had before. And that is magical and should be celebrated.
Thank you for reading this kind of rambling post. I hope you have a nice evening. RIP David Lynch.
