Buy the best suit
It is a fact that men spend more money on their clothes compared to women. The main reason for this is the cost of the items they need. Based on this, you would be right to conclude that men’s fashion is an expensive affair.
The money you spend on a top suit would be enough to buy diapers for your baby for three years. That said, you should not stop stepping out in your finest suit. Wear that suit proudly. Let the whole world see you move around with the confidence of a lion.
Below is a guide to help you select the best suits to buy.
Take measurements
An ill-fitting suit can never look good on you. It is not worth the money. It is not worth wearing to any function unless you get high every time people see you in it and laugh at you. In taking measurements, your focus should be on a suit that adheres to the following requirements:
a) Is close to the shoulders;
b) Is slim throughout your body (although this depends on your type of body); and
c) Is well tapered
Buttons
Have you seen a button-less suit? They must be the rarest. Therefore, take a keen interest in the type of buttons your suit needs. Here, you have the option of going for a 3-button, 2-button, or 1-button suit.
Lining
Never ignore the lining. In the past, the most expensive suits had linings. Today, this feature is present in all suits regardless of pricing. Linings serve more than a cosmetic purpose. They give suits the right structure and weight.
Linings ensure the suits never scratch your shirts or any other upper garment you are wearing. They offer your suits added protection. Silk is the material of choice for linings of the most expensive suits. In more affordable suits, linings are mostly made of:
- Bemberg silk
- Rayon
- Polyester
- Acetate
Pockets
When buying or tailoring suits, the pockets deserve as much attention as other parts. The choice of pocket depends on several factors that include utility, price, and formality of the suits.
Here, your options would mostly revolve around:
- Jetted pockets
- Flapped pockets
- Hacking pockets
- Patch pockets
- Chest/breast pockets
- Crown pockets
- Internal pockets
Accessorizing suits
Do not limit yourself to wearing suits without other accessories. Your choice of accessories completes the idea of men’s fashion that you wish to present to the world and also feel great.
Accessories could be a few obvious essentials or extra items that add a touch of elegance to the suit.
