Suit etiquette

The important role of suits for modern people, especially professional managers, is self-evident. However, not everyone who wears a suit can wear a suit with its unique style. In society, there are many teaching materials on how to wear suits, but most of them are inconsistent. Without an absolutely reliable way to wear it, a valuable suit will certainly not work as well as it should. This problem is really nerve-wracking. This chapter mainly talks about the etiquette of wearing a suit.

When wearing a suit, generally speaking, you should do the following:

1. Remove the trademark

When you buy a suit, you must remember to remove the trademark on the left sleeve. , pure wool label and other marks. Even if your suit is an authentic "Pierre Cardin", that does not excuse the trademark from still hanging on the sleeve when worn.

2. Keep the appearance of the suit neat and tidy

If the suit is not just bought, it must be dry-cleaned regularly and ironed before wearing. Only when a suit looks smooth and straight when worn can its beauty be fully displayed. The wrinkled “rag suit” will only make the viewer frown.

3. Pay attention to the matching of underwear

The standard way of wearing a Western suit is to wear a shirt directly under the suit, without wearing a cotton or woolen vest or underwear under the shirt. The practice of not wearing a shirt and matching the T-shirt directly with the suit is even more taboo when wearing a suit.

4. Wear sweaters with caution

Pay attention to the authenticity of suits. In principle, sweaters are not allowed to be worn under suit jackets. If the cold is really unbearable in winter, it is only advisable to wear a thin "V" neck solid-color woolen sweater or cashmere. Sweaters or cashmere sweaters with very complicated colors and patterns are always mismatched with suits. A button-down open-collar wool sweater or cashmere sweater worn under a suit will also look bad.

5. Do not roll up suit sleeves and trouser legs

In formal work situations, you must not roll up suit trouser legs or roll up the sleeves of suit jackets, so as not to give people a bad impression. A vulgar feeling.

6. Fasten suit buttons correctly

Suit buttons are an important symbol to distinguish styles and styles. Whether you can button your suit correctly directly reflects your grasp of suit dressing etiquette.

(1) For single-row suits and suits, unbuttoning all the buttons means casualness and ease; buttoning the top button means solemnity; buttoning all the buttons means ignorance.

(2) A single-row three-button suit, with all buttons unbuttoned, indicates casualness and ease; buttoning only the middle button indicates authenticity; buttoning the top two buttons indicates solemnity; buttoning all buttons indicates ignorance.

(3) You can button all the buttons on a double-breasted suit, or you can just button the top button, which means you are relaxed and fashionable, but you can’t leave it unbuttoned.

(4) When standing up, the buttons of the suit jacket should be fastened to show solemnity.

(5) After sitting down, the buttons of the suit jacket should be unbuttoned to prevent it from losing shape.

(6) Remind yourself to pay attention to whether the trouser door is "checked".

7. Make good use of suit pockets

The suit pockets are more decorative than practical. Therefore, the pockets should not be made to look bulging and make the overall appearance of the suit look out of shape. Pockets in different locations have different functions. Specifically:

(1) The outer breast pocket on the left side of the jacket: except for a silk handkerchief for decoration, nothing else should be placed, especially pens and glasses should not be hung.

(2) The inner chest pocket of the top: it can be used to hold pens, wallets or business cards, but do not put anything that is too big or thick or useless.

(3) The two pockets on the outside and lower part of the jacket: in principle, it is better not to put anything in them.

(4) Pockets on suit vests: they have many decorative functions and should not be used to put anything else except pocket watches.

(5) On the trousers of a suit, the two side pockets can only be used for tissues and the two back pockets of key cases, and should not be used for anything.

After mastering the above-mentioned methods and precautions for wearing a suit, I believe you will no longer worry about how to wear a suit.
