5 Tips for men while wearing tailored suits
The festive season is almost upon us, and it’s time to elevate your style game with a perfectly tailored suit. While the ladies dazzle in evening gowns, it’s your turn, gentlemen, to suit up and make a statement.
The Right Fabric is Key
Choosing the right fabric is the foundation of a dashing suit. Wool and Super Wool are your go-to options, each with a unique charm. The yarn’s twist, ranging from 80 to 220, determines the fabric’s weight and cost. Arvind’s Iconic Silk Suiting Collection blends lustrous silk with the comfort of poly wool, ensuring you stand out in both style and warmth.
Designed to Delight, Stitched to Perfection
Traditional meets contemporary in today’s suit designs. Look for modern features like peak lapels, double vents, and trendy patterns. Finding a skilled tailor is crucial to precisely bringing your vision to life. The Arvind Store delivers classic craftsmanship, marrying traditional quality with a modern flair.
The Right Shirt
Your suit is incomplete without the right shirt. Remember the golden rule: white is always right. If you fancy colours, pair a dark suit with a lighter-hued shirt and vice versa. Ensure your shirt cuffs don’t overshadow your hands; it’s a telltale sign of the wrong size.
Slim Fit
Modern suits embrace a slimmer fit, accentuating your silhouette. Consider narrowing the pants and sleeves for a sophisticated look. While it might challenge your tailor, the outcome is well worth it – a sleek and refined appearance.
Buttoned Up And Ready To Party!
Buttons are more than just fasteners; they are style statements. Invest in high-quality materials like horn, trochus, corozo, or mother of pearl to elevate your suit’s exclusivity. Don’t underestimate the impact of this basic accessory—it literally holds everything together.
