Always dress like its the best day of your life
Formal suits are never out of style and there is so much you can do to add style to your suit but the basic need and style to were it in the right way should be known to every men.
1. The right color of your suit
Choose a charcoal gray or navy blue suit. Unless you are going to a funeral, there is no reason to wear a black suit in the daytime. Instead, go for a classic-cut, neutral color. These suits will be more versatile and favorable for everyday wear. Most dress shirt colors will also match well with a dark grey or navy.
- Feel free to choose a subtle pattern for your shirt, just make sure it doesn’t clash with any pattern on your suit.
2. Get your suit tailored
The jacket should taper in at the waist to accentuate your shoulders. While the hem should fall where your fingertips end naturally when you have your arms at your side. The sleeves should also sit at the top of your wrists and allow a quarter to a half inch of your shirt cuff to show.
- For a better fit, visit a tailor to have the jacket fitted around your biceps.
- Avoid lapels wider than three inches.
- Also be sure to remove the brand label from the sleeve.
3. length of your pants
Make sure your pant breaks on top of your shoes. If the pant is loose get it tailored immediately
4. Matching your dress shirts with your suits
You can use the dress shirt to bring in pops of color to accentuate the suit or add personality. However, you don’t want to go over-the-top with patterns or bright hues. A fluorescent neon shirt is unlikely to go over well in a basic office job. Instead, try to stick to whites, blues, light purples, salmon, and grays.
- If you are going to wear an undershirt, wear a v-neck so it doesn’t show under your collar.
5. Your Tie
Check the width and length of your tie. The standard rule is that the width of your tie should match the width of the lapels on your suit jacket. So, if your lapels are two-three inches, then your tie should be the same. You should also make sure that your tie partially covers your belt buckle. To do this, you may want to knot the tie to see how long it is when worn properly.
6. Socks
Buy socks with proper length. While socks are a great area to play around with style, you always want to make sure they cover your ankles when you sit down. Your pants are going to ride up no matter what you do, so you want to make sure you aren't showing off any extra skin.
- Feel free to mix up colors and patterns or simply stick to blacks and grays.
7. Shoes
Get the right shoes. For everyday wear, try dark brown shoes. These shoes pair well with both charcoal gray and navy blue. You can also go for lighter browns or tans if you are wearing a lighter colored suit. Loafers or Oxfords are the most common shoes to wear with suits, though you can change styles depending on the occasion.
8. The belt
Choose a thin belt for for formal wear. A belt is a necessity for a properly fitted suit. However, you don't want a large, clunky item with a big belt buckle to overpower your look. Instead, go for a thin belt the same color as your shoes with a silver, gold, or bronze belt buckle. The simpler, the better.
