If someone tells you that a suit should be paired with a shirt, the shirt cuffs should be half an inch longer than the suit, the top button of the two button suit should be fastened, and the middle button of the three button suit should be fastened... Just give him a smile and nod, and you can stop turning around. Why can't a ribbed vest be inside a suit? Why can't jeans be paired with a tailless dress to create a completely grand feeling?
In today's fashion industry, there is a trend of mixing and matching, and phrases like "remember to remove the logo on the cuffs" no longer need to be brought up on the stage. Is there a simple rule to quickly learn how to choose a perfect suit? A suit that is born according to different temperament, body shape, and preferences of individuals is the perfect suit.
If one can clearly understand these elements that belong to oneself, it is not difficult to become an international standard perfect handsome man. However, it is not easy to truly ensure that every detail is correct and has its own unique taste.
Fortunately, compared to women's clothing, men's wardrobes are more inspired by history. Especially for suits, since their inception, all changes have actually been innovations in details. Next, let's listen to some details about the perfect suit.
Fabric
This is the detail that best reflects the value of a suit! A good suit must choose high-quality wool fabric, and the raw materials must also come from the best place of origin. Black is a traditional classic color, and wearing a high-quality black suit in any occasion is never wrong.
Nowadays, various weaving methods of striped fabrics provide more choices and greatly increase the possibility of pairing with shirts and ties. In addition, gray is often overlooked but worth recommending - it will make you both professional and humane.
Cutting
Besides the fabric, the most noticeable aspect of a suit's texture is undoubtedly its cut. This is not just the legendary "pattern". Classic suits use the so-called "canvas cutting" method, which involves a hand sewn lining between the fabric and the garment. To maintain elasticity, materials such as horse hair are also added, which is the soul of a suit.
Most suits today have a directly bonded lining, which may look stylish, but once subjected to high-temperature dry cleaning or long-term wear, it is likely to deform. And the adhesive lining is not breathable, so it will show you the color in summer. Nowadays, there are very few suit manufacturers who can insist on hand sewing linings, and even many top brands often only use them on first line products.
To know if a suit is hand sewn with a lining, simply pick the hem and hold the front and back slightly apart. If you feel that there is still a layer between the two layers, congratulations, you have chosen a good suit that is definitely worth investing in! Of course, the workmanship of adhesive lining suits is definitely relatively cheap, it depends on how you understand the meaning of a suit.
Button
Today, most suits have adopted plastic buckles, with a wide range of color options and low costs. But those classic suits still insist on seeking some traditional texture buttons. For example, there is a type of button made from Italian specialty nuts. After removing the flesh, the nuts are pitted, sliced, polished, drilled, and handmade.
Additionally, if the cufflinks are spaced a lot apart, they must be mass-produced on the assembly line. The cufflinks of a classic suit are always tightly arranged side by side, which means the value of true handmade stitching.
Collar shape
The choice of collar shape varies from person to person, and everyone can choose different collar shapes according to their own preferences. But basically, the collar shape determines the style of the suit, and there will also be significant differences in the effect: for example, the lapel position of the lapel can visually adjust height, taller individuals can choose a lower lapel position, and vice versa; However, the facial shape of Easterners is generally flatter than that of Westerners, and a wide neckline is more suitable. The trendy extremely narrow neckline may only look good when worn by handsome models, and may not be suitable for everyone.
