12 Men Suits Style and Tips Everyone Must Know

Posted on December 8, 2024 - 9:18 am by webdigital01

Whether you have your dream wedding, a corporate job or even managing your own business, men’s suits are necessary in order to be more casual and professional. It will help you make a good impression, wearing the appropriate kind of suit defines a man’s character and stature. So it is important that you are well suited and always ready for any occasions that are coming your way.

Here are the 12 Men Suits Style and Tips:

1. Perfect Fit

When selecting your suit, make sure that your shoulder fits perfectly since the shoulder part of the suit is difficult and expensive to tailor.

TIP: Lean against a wall and make sure the shoulders of the jacket don’t touch the wall before shoulders do. A perfect fitting jacket has no shoulder divots or upper arm wrinkles.

2. Right Collar

If you want to prevent your shirt collar in tucking inside your jacket when sitting you need to adjust the shirt collar about ¼” above the jacket.

3. Collar Gap

Having a gap between your lapels and shirt collar means your jacket doesn’t fit perfectly.

4. Jacket Sleeves

This sleeve should expose about an inch or half an inch of your shirt cuff.

5. Pant Break

Pant breaks are a matter of preferences depending on your style and gives you a different vibe.

No Break: Clean and modern.
Slight Break: tailored but not too flashy.
Medium Break: Conservative and gentlemanly
Full Break: Old-school and stand out.

6. British Style

A suit jacket with two back vents is more fashionable and distinguishes as higher quality and sophisticated standard suit.

7. Tie Rule

Your tie should barely touch your waistband or you can just adjust it to be slightly shorter.

TIP: Wear a tie dimple. It’s a planned imperfection that will make you stand out.

8. Tie Bar

The tie width should match your lapel width. The tie bar should not be wider that the tie

9. Vest

It is advisable that you match vest with a single-breasted suit, so that the vest will not be hidden.

TIP: Never fasten the bottom button on your vest or jacket.

10. Pocket Squares

Having a pocket square adds a layer of personality on your suit. Make sure the fabric and pattern is different on your tie.

TIP: Your tie should always be darker than your shirt.

11. Socks

Wear socks long enough that no leg is exposed when you sit.

12. Accessories

Don’t over accessorize your suit. Use only one or two at most if the accessories are both subtle.

For generations, men suits are considered the new generation knights armor, something you want to wear when you want to look and feel you’re very best. Trust your personal taste to find and select the perfect suit that portrays and define your personality.

Wedding suits?

If you are reading this article, good on you for researching in advance, and also for actually researching for your big day! We provide almost all of your wedding suits need at a very reasonable price.

This is the first article of our Wedding Suit Tips series – may or may not be written by a guy who has been doing his own research for his own wedding in the year of two thousand and when-I’m-ready. So, fellas, these tips are as genuine as they can be.

Background

A bit of our company background and where our suits come from: Our family has been part of the textile industry for over 60 years. Our hometown of Hội An – Việt Nam is famous for tailoring custom suits for international visitors, often within a single day, and much of the time requiring no further alterations. With experience catering to markets from around the globe, we know the latest trends and designs. We hire the best tailors to work with us in our factory, and the most committed team to work in our New Zealand operations. We also offer a variety of fabric designs at affordable prices and travel around the country to take measurements to ensure the best fit and quality garments for our customers.

Handpicked Experienced Tailors

Each experienced tailor we pick is specialised in their own field. Therefore, we have 5 teams, each focuses on jacket, trousers, shirts, women wear, and quality control respectively. And with the amount of tourists that came through Hoi An, each of them must have done 1,000 suits before they could join our team.

So you know that you will be in good hands.

How much we have grown

Started from a garage (yes, we definitely got inspired by some billionaires out there), we upgraded our operation team to the living room after a year. 12 months later, we moved out of home and opened our first showroom in Albany and a branch in Hamilton, which has enabled us to offer a much better experience to our customers. After a year of successful business in our Albany showroom, we decided that it was time to challenge ourselves again. We officially opened our second showroom in Auckland CBD – Queen Street, which has already been bringing us a stable flow of customers.

Affordability

You might have seen us at wedding shows across the country or found your way through Mr.Google – We have been actively promoting what we believe in: a good looking and high-quality suit does not have to break the bank. You can have a look at our wedding specials and be surprised at how affordable our offers are and how much you can save for your wedding budget.

In the next article, we will do some discussion on fabrics, in terms of material and colour matching.

Reasons to Hire a Suit for Your Wedding

Posted on March 20, 2017 - 5:58 am by webdigital01

Everybody wants to have a unique outfit for their wedding. Most of the common wedding mistakes is that you should purchase everything that you needed for the wedding. By doing this you may be overspending on your intended budget, when there are other options that you can consider. Such as going to your leading suit hire shop. For men, hiring a formal suits can be just as fashionable as buying your own suit.

Here are the Reasons to Hire a Suit for Your Wedding:

1. The Suits are Good Quality

You may be thinking that renting your wedding suit will just like wearing secondhand clothing. But most rental suit stores make sure that their clothing is in pristine condition and work to ensure they provide good service to their customers. These shops always take care of their stock to make their clients’ weddings picture perfect.

2. Your Measurements are Important

Most of the suit rental shops take your measurement and tailoring it to your exact measurement before sending out the suit. This guarantees that your hired suit will be a great fit. They will (and should) do some alterations for you specifically to make the suit look fitted and classy, not loose like a bathrobe.

3. Stress Free from Deadlines

Renting a suit may not be done in an instant but still the waiting time for your hired suit to arrive will be less than waiting for the bespoke suit. It also gives you the relief of having something to wear during your wedding day. Eliminating the stress and giving you enough space to think about other aspects of your wedding.

4. Sudden Changes on Your Outfit

A hired suit may be measured exactly for you, but still there are what-if circumstances that can happen such as gaining/losing weight, or measurement errors. Things like this can be a hassle. This is when a hired suit may be your best option. These sudden changes can be catered by your suit hire shops in an instant due to variety and/or early delivery.

5. Cheaper yet Fashionable

Money is the main factor when making a decision for your wedding outfit – or any decision related to your wedding. Renting your suit will be a lot cheaper than having a ready-made or bespoke suit. Not to mention it is the easy and affordable way to look fashionable without hurting your wallet.

The groom always wants to look presentable, not just for the guests, but for his bride most of all. Renting will not lower the standard for your wedding. It might actually be a more practical and economical way save your cash and spend it on more important aspects of the wedding or simply for starting your life together after the ceremony.
