The
basic men's wardrobe has three primary elements: the suit, the dress
shirt and the necktie. The suit is the foundation, the base of your
wardrobe. Buying a suit is one of the most important clothing decisions
you'll make - consider it an investment. If you don't wear a suit
everyday, choose a suit from the gray family and one from the blue
family. You will also need a navy blazer or sport coat with a pair of
Khaki or gray trousers. If you wear suit everyday, then you should have
at least one suit for everyday of the week.
A couple things to look
for in the correct fit of your suit:
- The sleeves should taper, gradually ending just over the
wrist so the shirt cuff extends about 1/2 inch beyond the jacket
sleeve.
- The length of the pants in the front should touch the
front of the shoe and angle towards the back of the shoe to fall just
above the heel.
- Cuff or no cuff is a personal choice.
A few tips to prolong
the life of your suits:
- If you wear a suit everyday, daily rotation is
essential. Never wear the same suit two days in a row.
- After wearing a suit, don't necessarily have it dry
cleaned. Cleaning can be tough on clothing - and expensive.
- After wearing a suit, don't immediately hang it in a
closet. Let the suit air-out overnight, preferably in a valet.
- And always purchase the best suit your budget can
afford.
