Getting into the Suit: Fit is Key:
Before we delve into the components of a
suit, let's address the foundation: fit. A well-fitted suit is
essential for both comfort and aesthetics. Avoid extremes - a
suit that's too tight restricts movement, while an oversized one
looks sloppy. Opt for a tailored fit that allows ease of
movement while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
How to Wear a Suit: Step by Step:
1. Undershirt: Over the years, the bundi has
evolved significantly in terms of design and style, adapting to
changing fashion sensibilities while retaining its essence.
2. Dress Shirt: Choose a light, neutral colour and
ensure it fits well, with sleeves that don't bag and a length
that tucks in comfortably.
4. Belt: Match your belt to your shoes in colour and material for a cohesive look. Opt for a slim profile that compliments your outfit.
5. Socks: Choose socks that add a pop of colour without clashing with your attire. Ensure they're long enough to avoid exposing your calves when seated.
6. Shoes: Stick to classic dress shoes like black
Oxfords or loafers, unless you're going for an edgier look.
7. Tie: Select a tie darker than your shirt, with a
simple knot and width similar to your jacket's lapels. Ensure
its tip reaches your waistband for a polished finish.
8. Vest: If your suit includes a vest, keep it
buttoned except for the last button.
9. Jacket: A well-fitted jacket should extend just
past your butt, with shoulder padding that doesn't protrude.
Ensure a snug fit around the collar, leaving the last button
undone when wearing it.
10. Accessories: Add a pocket square for flair,
ensuring it doesn't match your tie. Avoid over-accessorizing to
maintain a clean look.
1. Buttoning Etiquette: Always leave the bottom button of your jacket undone for a tailored appearance.
2. Unbutton When Seated: Maintain the shape of your suit by unbuttoning the jacket when sitting down.
3. Shirt Buttoning: Keep all buttons of your shirt closed for a polished look.
4. Proper Sleeve Lengt: Ensure shirt sleeves are the right length, with a quarter-inch cuff visible beneath the jacket sleeve.
5. Comfortable Collars: Avoid a choked appearance by ensuring your shirt collar allows for two fingers' space.
6. Tailored Jacket Fit: Aim for a jacket
that's snug but allows room for movement, with no excess fabric
at the chest.
7. Socks and Trousers: Ensure trousers sit
just above your shoes, with socks long enough to avoid exposure
when seated.
8. Belt and Shoe Coordination: Match belt
and shoe colours for a cohesive ensemble.
9. Pocket Square Selectio:Opt for a pocket square that complements, rather than matches,
your tie
