In today's society, men's formal attire has become a necessary social etiquette. For important meetings, talks, solemn ceremonies, and formal banquets, men usually choose suits as formal wear to show their professionalism and temperament. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the principles of men's formal wear to help you look confident and elegant in any occasion.
First, the choice of suit.
1.Color choice: For formal occasions, dark suits are the most common choice, such as black, dark blue, or gray. These colors can show your mature and serious image. At the same time, dark suits are also easier to match with other outfits, and it is not easy to make mistakes. Of course, if you want to show more personality in a formal setting, you can choose other colors, but be careful not to choose colors that are too bright.
2.Style selection: Single-breasted double-button and single-breasted three-button suits are common styles. For men with a thinner build, opt for a Korean slim-fitting two-button suit or a Japanese version of a waist-trimming suit, which will better flatter your figure. For men with a fatter body, opt for a British version of a loose-fitting suit, which can better cover up the lack of figure.
Second, the principle of collocation.
1.The color of the top and bottom of the suit should be consistent to show your unity and professionalism. At the same time, the color of the shirt, tie and shoes should also be coordinated with the color of the suit, and there should be no obvious color difference.
2.Button principle: For single-row and double-button suits, generally a button can be buttoned. For a single-row three-button suit, generally button two buttons on the top or one button in the middle, and the bottom button is a decorative button, do not button it.
3.Pocket principle: The pockets of a suit are not designed to hold things, but to serve as a decoration. Therefore, when wearing a suit, do not carry anything in your pockets so as not to spoil the overall aesthetics of the suit.
4.The principle of waist tightening: For young people, it is necessary to wear a suit to pursue a slimming effect. If you're on the thin side, you can choose a Korean slim two-button suit or a Japanese slim waist suit.
5.Fit principle: When choosing a suit, be sure to pay attention to the fit. The length of the dress should be too hip-length, and the sleeve length should be slightly longer than the sleeves of the suit by 0About 5-1cm, the chest and shoulders should also be appropriate. Only a well-fitting suit can show off your figure and temperament.
6.Shirt selection: Wear a suit with a long-sleeved shirt and not a short-sleeved shirt. Shirts, especially the neckline, should be crisp and exposed, and the exposed parts should be neat and wrinkle-free. The hem of the shirt must be tucked into the trousers, the cuffs must not be rolled up, and they must be buttoned. The collar of the shirt should be about 1cm higher than the collar of the suit, and the collar should not be turned over outside the suit. When not wearing a tie, the shirt collar buttons should not be buttoned. After wearing a tie, all buttons of the shirt should be fastened.
7.Tie selection: Be mindful of the occasion, you don't have to wear a tie for casual occasions. The shirt collar button must be fastened when the tie is worn, and the shirt collar button should be unbuttoned when the tie is not worn. After the tie is tied, the lower end should be located at the upper end of the belt buckle. The tie should be coordinated with the suit, generally speaking, a dark suit should be paired with a dark tie, and a light suit should be paired with a light tie.
