Dressing Hacks Everyone Should Know

I would suggest these principles for every man over 14 who wants to avoid common mistakes in clothing. Every man. Without exception.

These tips are more applicable to everyday suits. I’m not talking about glamorous, bright party clothes. Certain points were published by Men’s LookBook a long time ago.

1. Never button the last button of your jacket/coat. It is not intended for this. The same applies to the waistcoat.

2. On a three-button coat, fastening the upper button is optional, middle-button is compulsory, but the bottom button is a big no, no.

3. More than three buttons on a coat - unacceptable.

4. Pockets of the coat should be open. Remove the threads that close them.

5. The new coat often has white threads on the shoulders. Remove it before you put on your coat.

6. Tear off the “beautifully sewn label” from the sleeve of the coat, before putting it on.

7. A long tie is incompatible with a tuxedo/dinner suit.

8. Brown shoes - brown belt. Black shoes - black belt. I would say that this applies more to business clothes than to a free style of Casual.

9. Either a belt - or suspenders (braces). Never use them together.

10. Cuffs of the shirt must be slightly visible from under the sleeves of the coat. For 1-2 cm.

11. Pants should have one easy fold on the front side. If your pants have folds both in front and behind, or if they bend at the sides, they are too long for you.

12. The coat should perfectly fit on your body, it must not hang on your shoulders. You should be able to slip only your hand into your inner pocket, however, if a fist gets through it - the coat is bigger for you.

13. The tie should reach the buckle of your belt. It should not be shorter or longer than this.

14. There should be a groove in the knot of a tie.

15. Your coat must not be longer than your warmer jacket (if you wear another warm jacket over your suit in winter).

16. Black suits should be worn by priests, security personals, or maybe when you are going to a funeral. (Go for Grey or Dark Blue).

17. Hanging your telephone in a cover with your belt - looks terrible.

18. Shoes with “square noses” look bad with suits.

19. Never wear socks with shorts. or socks with sandals.

20. If you tuck your shirt in jeans, be sure to wear a belt (or braces, if you also wear a jacket).

Always wear neatly pressed clothes. Polish your shoes. Everyday.
Better get a watch as well (maybe a cheaper one), it makes you look decent.

Bonus tip:

Please get your bodies into good shape. This makes every dress look better on you. Do some exercise. Burn excess fat, destroy your tummy, put on some muscle mass. Hide your facial imperfections with beard.

Good Luck James Bonds!
