YOU know what they say about a
well-fitted suit? It is to women what lingerie is to men.
Nothing looks hotter than a guy
in a well-fitted and carefully thought out suit.
I had sundowners with one of
the best dressed men I’ve ever met the other day.
He arrived at our meeting
place, an almost exclusive restaurant and coffee shop, a few minutes after I’d
got to the venue.
He showed up while I was lost
in my thoughts as I waited for him at a cosy spot by the patio.
The guy waltzed in my direction
in a crisp white shirt, black blazer, grey pair of pants, black shoes and belt.
He wore a classic time piece
and still had his car keys and cell phone in his hands.
The gentlemen exuded so much
confidence my piercing eyes didn’t deter him.
After we’d exchanged
pleasantries, we sat to order.
Did I mention I could smell him
from across the table? I later learnt he was wearing Aramis Blue – subtle but
enough to capture the attention of your nostrils!
I thought this was one well put
together gentleman, largely because of the blazer he was wearing.
Black seems like a dull colour
but it dressed up his grey pants and white shirt pretty well.
But often, men feel it’s not
practical rocking a fresh suit every other day. They think it costs an arm and
a leg.
I’ve got news for you – looking
good doesn’t have to cause a big dent in your wallet.
You don’t have to own lots of suits
to look fresh. All you need is one good
suit and you’re set. The secret is in the fit and knowing how to wear it.
A three-piece suit is one of
the most versatile menswear pieces a guy can own.
You can get a ton of mileage by
mixing it up and pairing the pieces together or as separates with other items
in your wardrobe.
No one looks as powerful as a
man in a full three-piece suit. It’s masculine and elegant; it’s a full
business power suit.
When you wear a three-piece
suit, you look like you own the place and you’re trying to decide whom you’re
going to fire first or which million dollar deal is top on the list for your
signature.
The best thing about a three-piece
suit is that you can turn it into a two-piece suit anytime you want.
A well-tailored two-piece suit
is timeless and classic; it shows you mean business without trying too hard.
The waistcoat and suit trousers
combo is one way to dress down your suit. It’s a more laid back look that can
do for less formal occasions.
The waistcoat is capable of
transcending social situations and dress codes and gives you enough room to
experiment with layers.
When you wear a waistcoat and
suit trousers, it creates a manly silhouette.
Wearing your suit jacket as a
blazer instantly sharpens your image and dresses up your jeans.
It’s an excellent way to rock
the smart casual look.
The blazer will give you a
clean and well put together look – like the guy at my sundowners meeting.
But be very careful – not all
suit jackets can be worn as a blazer; it all depends on the suit’s fabric,
pattern and design.
Aside from wearing your
waistcoat with a suit or in a suit trousers combo – your waistcoat can be
separated completely from the suit and paired with a pair of jeans.
The waistcoat will dress up the
jeans and make you stand out in a crowd. It says you’re a fabric slayer, you’re
willing to take fashion risks and definitely separates you from the boys.
