The suit is an eternal piece of menswear clothing that is synonymous with an ultimate and timeless style statement. A good quality suit is always a wise investment in the men’s wardrobe and it never gets outdated. Selecting a men’s suit to wear, whether for a formal or informal event, requires some fashion sense. What you choose to wear reflects a lot about your personality. It can either make or break others’ perceptions of you. In this regard, suits confer an extremely dapper look to the men.
To some men, picking out a suit is just grabbing a suit jacket and suitable pants. This is the most common mistake made by men that they are unable to choose the right fit and size of the suit. This little mistake can ruin the overall outlook of a man. So it is more appropriate to conclude that it does not matter whether you wear an expensive or inexpensive suit, but what makes the difference is the way you carry it.
Here is a list of common mistakes that men make most of the time while purchasing or wearing a suit, along with tips on how to avoid them and look fit in it.
Buy a suit that fits well
It is so obvious that brands put a lot of money into advertising. One can be easily confused while looking for a new suit. Some brands carry a good reputation because of the prestigious quality of their suits. But the most important factor that should be kept in mind while buying a suit is how it looks on you and whether or not it makes your overall appearance elegant.
So it can be the case that a suit can be the most prestigious because of its well-established brand name but if it does not fit your overall aesthetic, it is worse than a non-brand suit that fits you well. The brand name can be tempting, but your focus must be on the fact that it is the suit fit that matters the most.
Don’t forget to remove tags
Brands usually put their tags on the sleeves of the suit. These tags are not the same as the swinging tags with size, price and barcode etc. Rather they are made of fabric that is either printed or embroidered at the bottom of the sleeves, mentioning the company’s logo, and the type of cloth used in the manufacturing of the suit.
Most beginners do not bother to remove these tags while wearing a suit. Sometimes they do not even know that these tags are essential to be removed and this mistake can make you look naive.
Buy suits based on needs (work vs social needs)
Some men are so obsessed with the details of the suit, its fabric and its style. Of course, it is important to consider whether the fabric of the suit will be appropriate for the season or not. Several factors like this must be evaluated while purchasing a suit but do not let them alone be the deciding factors.
One of the important aspects that is somehow ignored by men while buying a suit is the need for the suit i.e. whether it will suit your professional look or not. So, before heading towards shopping, be clear about what occasion you are going to buy the suit and try to make it a choice that can fit your both professional and social needs.
Make sure comfort is the priority
Trends are ever-changing. No matter which colour, cut or fabric you buy, what’s important is to find the right size and comfortable fit. Comfort should be a priority while purchasing because if the expensive and classy clothes make you uneasy while caring for them, they are of no use.
Suits represent your style and personality and they make the first impression of your fashion sense in front of other people, so choosing them wisely does not just run after price tags and brand names.
Wear suit regularly when possible
If you are a beginner and purchasing a suit for the very first time, then it is highly recommended to wear it at least once before that particular occasion. It will help you make yourself more adaptable and comfortable with how to carry yourself while wearing it. This tip can help you avoid any kind of discomfort and you will get used to it by wearing it once or twice.
