They say it’s the suit that makes a man, and nothing can be further from the truth if you’re an urban professional determined to make it to the top of the corporate ladder. These days, it’s simply not enough to have the skills, or the education, or even the connections. You also need to have the ‘look’, something that you or anyone can’t achieve with cheap, off-the-rack men’s suits that just spell t-a-c-k-y. Indeed, when it comes to men’s suits that exude power, professionalism, and panache, you’ll have to go designer, or at least, custom.
The Right Pick
As with everything else, you will want to start off on the right foot when picking your men’s suits. This means you have to know exactly how you want your suit to look, or at least have a pretty good idea of how you want to look, in order to make the right decisions.
Before you start, you will also need ‘jump-off point’ from which to start from. First things first you’ll need dress shoes to wear with your suit. It’s always a good idea to get the shoes first before the suit and use the pair as the basis for the suit’s length (more on that later). You will also need a dress shirt or two. Make sure that your shirts’ neck and sleeves fit perfectly for maximum comfort. With that said, it’s time to pick those men’s suits.
1. The Color Factor.
For a first (and only) suit, navy blue is the safest hue. Its understated elegance is definitely a classic; plus, it’s appropriate for just about any occasion, from board meetings to company soires.
Of course, you can’t just have one suit to wear everywhere, all the time. And though the idea of having the same suit replicated is inviting, variety is still king. Indeed, designer suits in colors like light gray, charcoal, tan, and black are very good investments.
2. It’s In The Cut.
If the suit makes the man, the cut makes the suit. A good tailor will be able to determine the perfect cut for your build. Still, it helps to know what to expect. For example, if you have a rather generous paunch, a double-breasted suit is an absolute no-no. This is the reason why going for bespoke suits is a must.
3. Buttons Matter.
Believe it or not, buttons do make a difference when it comes to picking men’s suits. Indeed, it is amazing how such a small, seemingly insignificant nuance can make or break an entire look.
The number of buttons on your suit largely depends on your height. If you’re on the smallish side (5’6 and below), you can go for two-button styles. Taller men can go for three buttons. For double-breasted suit jackets, the 40’s style with 2 internal buttons and 2 external buttons are much preferable than 80’s one-button style.
4. Viva The Vents.
This is something that relies largely on personal preference. You can go for a single or double-vented rear, or no vent at all. If you have a hefty posterior, however, do stay away from the double vent because with your hands in your pockets, there will be a rather unsightly flap of material over your bottom. It’s best to stick to single-vented suits with such a considerable attribute, or better yet, no vent at all.
5. Pant-astic!
You can’t have men’s suits without pants, and the right ones have to be picked with care. A suit is meant to be formal, or at least, professional, so do avoid pants with flat fronts and no cuffs because they always look too casual. Instead, consider your girth and go for one or two pleats. A 3/4-inch cuff is also appropriate.
6. Length Wise.
This is by far the most important detail to consider. This refers to the length of your trousers, or the ‘break’, as tailors call it. The A break is the shortest, with the hem sitting higher on your shoes. The B break rests on your shoes. The C break or floor break is ideal if you don’t want to expose your socks.
Indeed, with well-tailored, designer men’s suits, you’ll be all set to conquer. Use these guidelines to make the right pick, and you will never look at off-the-rack men’s suits ever again.
