We all know that suits are the way to make an impression. We also know that an ill-fitted suit can actually have quite the opposite effect and we definitely know the importance of tailoring a suit to fit you perfectly. Regardless of how perfectly your suit fits you, there are some simple, yet specific, key points to keep in mind while wearing your suit to make sure you’re wearing it right.
Wear your pants high!
Tailored pants are designed to fit you perfectly and if you end up wearing them lower than they are meant to be worn, the result is a poor fitted pair of trousers that look sloppy and long. Wear your pants up high and make sure not more than an inch of your ankle or socks are visible under the trousers.
To button or not to button?
A common question when it comes to wearing a suit is whether you should button up the suit or not. Remember this- Always leave the top button buttoned and the bottom one unbuttoned for a two-button suit. When you take a seat, always unbutton your blazer so that it doesn’t look like you are uncomfortable in your blazer.
How much cuff is too much cuff?
Last but not the least- make sure your shirt cuff shows below your suit. But how much cuff is too much cuff? Well, a general rule of thumb is a 1/4″ to 1/2″. Anything more makes it seem like your blazer sleeve is too short.
There you have it! Three simple but effective ways to wear your suit right! Keep this in mind the next time you suit up.
