Thought there was only one way to wear a suit? Think again.

GQ's creative director Jim Moore is here to prove that this style staple is the most versatile item in your wardrobe.

The men's magazine believes "you will never look better than you do when you're wearing a great suit", and there's no need to reserve the look for weddings or job interviews.

With a little inventive styling a suit can be just as, erm, suited to a trip to the pub or a first date. And the best part? You can see all Moore's styling tips in just 40 seconds.
