How To Wear A Suit: 9 Tips For Men

Instructions

• 1

  Get the size right
  

  
  Before buying a ready made suit, make sure it is your size and avoid wearing one that’s loose fitting. If you can’t find a suit that fits you perfectly, then have a tailor sow one for you. In this case, make sure the tailor is reputable, to avoid messing up your suit and wasting your money too.

  Wear your suit with quality shirts

  
  Always wear your suit with quality shirts that matches or provides a nice contrast with the suit in terms of color, and style. If you have a black suit, go with a shirt color like white or sky blue.

  Expose shirt above suit collar
  

  
  Your shirt collar must always be exposed about 0.6 cm above the suit collar. If your suit collar is too big, your shirt collar won’t show. So when buying or sowing a suit, make sure the collar fits perfectly well.

  Make sure your pants are resting on your shoes
  

  
  Check your suit trousers and see if they're resting on your shoes or about to swallow your shoes. Ensure it is resting a bit on your shoes, otherwise have a tailor reduce their length.

  Expose shirt cuff
  

  
  Have your suit jacket sleeves measured so that about 1.3 cm of your shirt is exposed. If you have a suit with long jacket sleeves, have them reduced by your tailor.

  Match your socks
  

  
  The color of your suit should always match that of your socks. You can’t match a grey colored suit with purple-colored socks; it’s not a befitting match. Grey-colored white or black socks would be much more appropriate.

  Wear quality belts, shoes and watch
  

  
  Make sure your belt, shoes and watch match your suit in-terms of color and quality. When wearing a black suit, match it with a black belt, black shoes and a black watch.
  
  Don’t neglect the beautifying power of these little accessories because as far as wearing a suit is concerned, they matter too.

  Chose the right tie
  

  
  Look for an appropriate tie and use either the standard or Windsor knot. Most importantly, make sure that your neck tie is long enough to touch your belt buckle, but not so long that it covers it.

  Add a pocket square
  

  
  Have a pocket square rightly fitted in such as way that it peeks out the top of your jacket pocket. Also, the color of the pocket square should match that of the neck tie always.
