Suit
- When shopping for a suit wear a dress
shirt to ensure proper fitting .
- Set off a dark suit with white shirt and
white tie for a dramatic day to evening wear
transition.
- A sport 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.
- Although suit sizes are standardized less
than 1 percent of men find that a suit off the
rack fits perfectly.
- The signs of an ill-fitting suit include:
wrinkles below the collar; lapels spread or gap
(too small) - 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.
Pant
- Look for ample fabric inside the pants so
they can be tailored if required.
- 100% 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.
Shirt
- High quality shirts are made of 2 ply
cotton.
- Dress shirts should be 100% cotton
- Look for single stitched seams
- For a good fit: when your top button is
done up you should be able to comfortably insert
two fingers between your neck and the
collar
- Regular fit shirts have a straight
vertical cut from under the arm to the shirt
tail. They tend to have more room thought the
body and are styled with the full figure in
mind.
- 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.
Avoid wearing Shirts that: are
visibly solid or stained (this goes for any other
article as well), have no arms, have the wrong
size of collar, are too shiny (any shinier than
silk will make you look like you are playing for
the other side--this goes for jackets shinier than
leather or silk, have pockets that are too small,
are sheer, have zippers, are too tight (some
athletic shirts are made to fit tightly, and they
are okay, if you are fit).
