The elegance of the suit

A gentleman in a suit and tie

The clothes we wear speak for us, have you ever thought that I am communicating? With colors for example; Gray is a neutral color, it can show security as well as uncertainty or brown, which is cozy and attractive, but often tends to convey boredom.

But I am not here to talk to you about colors, I will leave that for another article, today the topic is "Suit", a standard in men's clothing.
What should we take into account when selecting the wardrobe?

  • Costume:
    Avoid a range of browns and strong tones, favoring blues, grays and the always perfect black. The beige trench coat is a classic for halftime.
  • The jacket:
    Whether the jacket is straight or double-breasted, it should cover the seat of the trouser seat well. The buttons will be unbuttoned when sitting down and when sitting up, the middle one will be turned on again in a right jacket and the lower two and the interior in the crossed ones. The buttonholes on the sleeves must be open (never the sewn button on the closed buttonhole) and the first button is usually worn on. In ancient times, this garment had the function of rolling up the sleeves when washing hands.
  • Pocket:
    Nothing will be placed in the outer top pocket of the jacket, not handkerchiefs or pens. Avoid putting the keys, or wearing them, both in the jacket and pants, as well as putting your hands in their pockets.
  • Shirts:
    The color of them will depend on the suit with which they are going to be used. The classic white, light blue or fine stripes are the ones that best combine with traditional costumes. They should not be darker than the suit, although the tie will be darker than the shirt. All shirts worn under the jacket will have long sleeves.
    The cuffs should protrude 1,5 cm from the bag. Suit shirts will not have pockets or short sleeves. If you wear a shirt without a tie, the first buttons will come off. If the shirt is to be rolled up, the sleeves should not be rolled up above the elbow. "No" wear a t-shirt.
  • Above all:
    They can be made of cloth or leather, the most suitable color is still dark.
