It is said that a man looks best when he is wearing a suit. Indeed, suits have become a symbol of man's power within and beyond the corporate world. However, wearing a suit is not as simple as putting on a plain shirt, as there are a number of things to consider.
Thus, here are five tips on how you can carry yourself in the best way possible while wearing a suit. After all, suits are to men as lingerie is to women, right?
1. Don't over-accessorize
Bling may be the in thing among celebrities, but when you are wearing a suit, keep in mind that it is all about understatement. Keep your accessories to just two, according to Details Magazine. If you have a pocket square and a tie clip, do not wear cuff links.
2. Experiment with contrasts
Try using a dark colored pocket square to go with a light-colored suit. Doing so will provide your ensemble with a pretty good color contrast, and make you more pleasing to the eye.
3. Use the right accessories
Keep in mind that wearing a suit means that you are also fully committing to the suit. Make it a point that your accessories, such as your watch, match your suit as well. And no, G-Shocks might be awesome, but they will never go well with a suit.
4. Wear patterns proudly
If you can pull it off, experiment with patterned suits. Polka dots are actually a great way to bring out character and energy to a suit. Just make sure that you keep a balance. The patterns must be big enough to be noticeable, but not to the point where they look goofy.
5. Find the perfect fit
When it comes to suits, fit is everything! An ill-fitting, ridiculously-priced suit from the world's most expensive brands will always look inferior to a well-tailored suit from a modest tailoring shop. Keep this in mind! If a suit is not tailored for the contours of your body, it will not work for you, according to Men's Lifestyle.
And so there you have it. Five brief reminders when wearing a suit. Just remember, when you wear a suit, you have to fully commit to it. And most of all, wear it with pride!
