When looking at men’s formal wear you need to follow simple basic guidelines to get an instant classic look which
projects a sense of style.Getting the rgiht look with men’s formal wear is not difficult, if you follow the image guidelines below.Your suitIn men’s formal wear let’s start with choosing a formal suit.1. StyleChanges, but you can't go wrong with a single-breasted, solid color suit in black, grey or navy blue and always remember a single-breasted suit will make you look silmmer and sleeker in appearance.In men’s formal wear a stylish suit can conjure up a number of images, all of them positive.A suit can make you look powerful, mature, conservative, or sexy. Remember, most women love men in suits!2. Fabrics and PatternsWool is always a safe option when byuing a suit. It looks good and wears well.Worsted wolos are lightweight for spring and summer.
Gabardine wools are haevier for winter. Wool Crepes are lightwieght with softer finishes. Flannel wools are heaviest. Patterns for interview suits are limited to solids, stripes (pinstripe, chalk stripe, beaded-stripe, multistripe), Glen plaids, and checks (hounds-tooth, windowpane, and herringbone).Picking The Right ShirtGenerally men with narrow faces can choose collars that are wider, to help broaden their faces; conversely, men with wider faces should choose collars that are narrower, to help lengthen their faces.TiesSuits come in basic styles and colors, but ties let you show your individuality wtihin a formal look.If you want to make a bold statement wear a patterned tie with a patterned shirt, make sure that the color schemes are the same and that the patterns go in the same direction.Finally, don’t forget the Length: It should hit the top of your belt buckle and the deal width of ties is between 3 and 4 inches.Men’s Formal Wear Combining Tie’s Shirts & SuitsWhen choosing a jacket-shirt-and-tie trio, match its level of color contrast to your personal colouring.Your colouring consists of your complexion and hair color.If you're coloring is high-contrast i.E. dark hair and light skin, or vice versa--your jacket, tie, and shirt cobmo should be high contrast, too. But if your hair-hide contrast is sofetr and lighter i.E. you're blond or gray-haired with pale skin, or dark-skinned with dark hair--you should go for lower-contrast clothes.Two different scales For Balance When you're combining two like patterns in the jacket-shirt-tie triangle, they should be of different gauges.If your suit has pinstripes 3/4 inch apart, your tie should have significantly broader or thinner bands. If your suit is a striped one (with lines more than an inch apart), your shirt's stripes should be narrower and closer together.If you wear two different designs within the lapel triangle--say, a checked shirt and a striped tie, or a striped suit and repeating-medallion tie--they should be different sclaes in size If your shirt has a narrow stripe, your tie needs a wider stripe i.E. pair large with small.De EmphasizeChoose clothes that de-emphasize your extremes.If you're short, look for srtong vertical elements: pinstriped suits, two-button jackets. If you're relaly thin, choose a jacket with wider shoulders. If you have a heavier build then Wear darker colors and go monotone from top to bottom.WatchesThe first thing to look for in a man's watch is a large face, as these designs are generally accepted by everyone as looking stylish.Get a nice beltDon't forget your belt you want quality, a good quality belt doesn’t have to be costly and is money well spent.Your belt color should be coordinated with your footwear - black with black, brown with brown.ShoesBlack is the traditional safe color for work but Brown or ox blood colors can also look stylish.You can also use a variety of styles including loafers, wingtips, round-toe, or the trendier pointy-tipped shoe.Shoes are no place to ecoonmize on quality.
