STYLE TIPS FOR MEN
A man's clothes reveal his personality. Here are some tips on
how to dress well without investing on expensive clothing:
 Suit
:
-
While shopping for a suit, wear a dress shirt to ensure proper
fitting.
-
Always set off a dark suit with a white shirt and a light
tie for a dramatic day to evening wear transition.
-
A sports jacket should be long enough to cover your rear.
-
The lapel of a suit should extend just a little less than
the halfway mark between the collar and the shoulder line.
-
The signs of an ill-fitting suit include: wrinkles below the
collar; lapels spread or gap.
-
Lapels should roll softly and lie flat against the chest.
-
Flaps on a suit pocket should be consistent with the size
of the lapels and they should not draw attention to themselves.
-
Trust the sales associate when it comes to the 'right' size
suit for your best fit.
 Pants
:
-
Look for ample fabric inside the pants so they can be tailored
if required.
-
100 percent wool is the 'best buy' for dress pants as they
are wrinkle resistant.
-
Resist the urge to suck in your belly when you are being fitted
for pants.
-
Look for dress pants that are lined.
-
Pants should cover your socks and have a slight break over
the shoe.
 Shirts
:
-
High quality shirts are made of 2-ply cotton.
-
Dress shirts should be 100 percent cotton.
-
Look for single stitched seams.
-
For a good fit, when your top bottom is done up, you should
be able to comfortably insert two fingers between your neck
and collar.
-
Tapered shirts are countered through the waist to emphasize
the shape of the body.
-
Yes, you will need to iron your cotton shirt. It is easier
to iron when slightly damp.
-
The comfort, feel and life of a cotton shirt far outweighs
this slight inconvenience.
-
Place your freshly ironed cotton shirt on a hanger and leave
it overnight. This will help prevent wrinkling.
-
Never wear shirts that are soiled or stained.
