Wearing a suit properly is the big question mark that men always want answered. In this article, Mon Amie shares the tips for wearing a business suit the right way, with a few “bullet points to remember” that you should have at your fingertips, so you avoid the basic mistakes when wearing a suit to important appointments!
The importance of the pocket square
If you think the tie is your weapon for playing with colour and adding an accent to the suit, that is a mistake! The pocket square exists so that you can freely choose the pattern, the colour and the style you want. A tie, meanwhile, is limited to a certain palette that makes the shirt and suit stand out.
The gap between the suit lapel and the shirt collar
Mon Amie would call this a “fatal” mistake: getting the proportion of the gap between the suit lapel and the shirt collar wrong when wearing a business suit! The lapel must sit right over the point where the shirt collar ends. In particular, no gap should appear between them, above all at the back of the neck. If there is one, you are wearing a jacket that does not fit your body; in other words, it is the wrong size!
Make sure the jacket and tie are the right length
The correct length for a jacket is one that covers the trouser fly and the seat. The tie should reach just to the belt, so anyone who is new to this should learn little by little how to knot it to get the right length!
Buttoning a suit has rules too
With a 3-button suit, you always fasten the middle button; the top button you may fasten or not as you like. With a 2-button suit, however, you should leave the bottom button undone,... Above all, always make sure the buttons are in the right position. On a 2-button suit, the top button must sit above the waistband of the trousers. On a 3-button suit, the middle button must also sit above the waistband. This is the rule when you wear a business suit in either a 3-button or a 2-button cut.
So that is the business suit tips from Mon Amie that you should not pass by! We hope this article helps you become an outstanding businessman with a polished, gentlemanly appearance!
