#1 Never ever button the bottom button of a suit jacket

No matter if you buy a suit at a store in your size or a custom men suit at our online shop. Suits are made to have only the button in the middle be closed. Keep the very last one open, ALWAYS!

 

 

#2 Never forget to unbutton the jacket when you sit down.

Don’t ruin the shape of your suit. Make sure to unbutton the suit jacket to feel more comfortable and prevent button popping during dinner or business lunch.

#3 Always keep the top button of your shirt buttoned

Shirt buttons are made to be closed. Yes, all of them. If you cannot close the top button, you need to get a new men’s shirt. Keep the lines of the shirt collar matching and make sure, that you have the right length of shirt cuffs.

#4 Don’t let the shirt cuffs go over your hands

Shirt sleeves are integral for making you look well-groomed and sharp. This is why you should make sure that they are the right length and fit. Ideally, a quarter of an inch of the cuff of your shirt sleeve should appear from beneath the jacket sleeve. 

 

 

#5 Never look like you choke yourself

A shirt collar is particularly important as it should never make you look choked. You should be comfortable in your Christmas suit so place two fingers between your skin and collar to make sure that it fits well. Also, take note that shirts sometimes shrink and you will have to have a broader collar if you want to wear this shirt after Christmas is over. 

 

#6 Wear only a jacket that fits

The jacket, like in these beautiful grey suit, has to be tailored in a way that it does not look too loose or tight at the chest. A nice tip is to place three fingers perpendicularly between your jacket and stomach. You should be able to slip your hand between your chest and your buttoned jacket such that it feels snug, but with room to move.

#7 Never let your socks be seen

Find trousers that fit you well. Neither too short or too long give your look a benefit. Let your trousers sit on the top of your shoes.

 

 

#8 More about socks

Make sure your socks are long enough. No one wants to see your hairy legs between trousers and socks when you sit down. Especially if you wear fancy socks.

 

 

#9. It's a match: Belt and shoe color

There are no exceptions. Color-mixes are not needed when it comes to dress shoes and belt. Same with your watch. The leather strap needs to be the same as the belt and shoe color. Find here our belts. 

 

#10 Never wear a pocket square that matches your tie

A pocket square adds an extra level of polish, but make sure it doesn't match your tie in either pattern or fabric choice.
