Suits are the most commonly used in formal occasions. In formal business activities, men must wear suits, shirts and ties, and hats and scarves are not allowed in business work. When a man wears a suit, he must know the basic knowledge of matching shirts, ties, belts, shoes and socks, and briefcases, so that he can really wear a taste. Do you know how to wear a suit? The following is my collection of business men's dress etiquette and principles for your reference, hoping to help friends in need.
Business man dress etiquette
First, the source of the lawsuit
The suit originated in Europe and has a unique dress code. Westerners often choose different colors according to different occasions and seasons when they wear suits. Wear a dark suit on important courtesy occasions, and wear a light, dark and small pattern suit when going to work, having fun and meeting friends. Judging from the skin color, China people should choose dark blue, dark gray and dark gray suits in social occasions. These colors are not only dignified and elegant, but also make the face more radiant.
Second, the choice of suit.
Fabric: strive for high-grade, wool is generally the first choice.
Color: solemn and orthodox, not frivolous and casual, blue, gray and brown.
Pattern: No pattern is better.
Size: appropriate size, loose and moderate.
Basic requirements for wearing a suit: remove the trademark, iron it flat, button it, don't roll it or pull it, wear a sweater carefully, don't wear a T-shirt, and pack less things.
Pants are an indispensable part of a suit and should be coordinated with the coat; Pants should not be pleated, but should have pants lines; The length of trousers is the most suitable for trousers to contact the instep; Button up your pants and zip up.
Third, the choice of shirts.
Crisp and neat without wrinkles; A single color, preferably white; No preferred mode; Long-sleeved shirt without chest pocket; The size fits well, and the collar and bust should be elastic and moderate; The choice of collar type takes into account my face, neck length and the size of tie knot.
Precautions for wearing a shirt: all buttons should be buttoned, the shirt collar should be higher than the suit collar 1-2 cm, the shirt sleeve length should be about 1 cm longer than the suit sleeve, and the shirt hem should be evenly tucked into the waistband.
Fourth, tie and shirt collocation.
The tie should be beautiful and flat, and the lining should not be deformed; Silk and wool are the best fabrics; The color of the tie should not be lighter than the color of the shirt, and the monochrome ties such as blue, gray, brown, black and purple are preferred; It is best to have no patterns, or to use regular geometric figures such as stripes, dots and squares as the main patterns; The width of the tie should coordinate with my bust and the collar of my suit jacket.
Note: don't choose a fashionable and casual tie; Do not choose a simple tie; Don't choose weird ties; Bow ties are generally not used in business occasions. There are many colors and patterns of ties, but the color that can't go wrong (or basically suitable for all occasions) is blue, and the pattern that can't go wrong is thick or thin diagonal stripes or dots. But in informal non-business occasions, such as usual, cocktail parties, dinners, the colors and patterns of ties are very casual. For fat people, wear a wide striped tie, for thin people, wear a thin striped tie, otherwise fat people will be fat and thin people will be thin. Remember not to wear a purple tie, because it is a code word to tell others that you are gay.
Tie a tie: put the big head of the tie on the right, the small head on the left, the big head on the top, the small head on the bottom, and cross in front of the neck. The length of the big head is about three times that of the small head.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) collocation of suit, shirt and tie
The darker the color of the suit, the brighter the shirt, and the most suitable collocation: dark western assembly, light-colored shirt; The colors of suits and ties can be contrasted or complemented, but they should be changed deeply; The pattern of a suit and tie can't be repeated.
Example: black suit+white shirt+gray blue green tie;
Gray suit+white shirt+gray green yellow tie;
Dark blue suit+white or bright blue shirt+blue, gray and yellow ties.
Six, shoes
Men should only wear black or dark brown leather shoes. Black leather shoes can be matched with black, gray and navy suits, and brown leather shoes can be matched with brown suits. White and gray leather shoes are only suitable for entertainment, not for formal occasions. There are many styles of leather shoes, but there is only one formal business style: the color is black, the texture is genuine leather, and it needs to be knotted (preferably with three knots), and the upper can be shiny or frosted. Remember! It is often said that a pedal (leather shoes without shoelaces) is always a leisure wind, there is no doubt about it! Leather shoes worn for business and formal occasions are laced.
Seven, socks
The color of socks should be a single tone. White-collar men can choose black, brown or navy when choosing socks to ensure that the color of socks matches or is similar to that of pants.
Eight, wearing jewelry
Belt: When the color of belt matches the color of trousers, you can use the same color, similar color and contrast color. Generally speaking, a black belt can be worn with any clothes. Choosing a belt with high quality, generous style and novelty can increase a man's demeanor and temperament.
Watches: As the saying goes, "Men look at watches, women look at bags". Generally, you don't wear an electronic watch or a diving watch or a cartoon watch to attend a banquet.
Briefcase: White-collar men always carry briefcases with them in official activities.
Nine, buckle and unlock
1. Fastening when standing:
There is only one button in the suit, please button it directly;
The suit has two buttons in a single row, only the top button can do it.
A suit has three buttons in a row. You can only button the middle button, or you can button the first button and the second button on it.
If it is a double-breasted suit, please fasten the outer button corresponding to the "inner button".
If you put a vest inside, you don't have to buckle it all.
2. Unlock while sitting:
When a man sits down, he must unbutton his clothes. No matter untie or fasten, you can't look down at the suit, but do it with very smooth and natural gestures; And please remember to untie it from bottom to top and fasten it from top to bottom! In this way, the natural and unrestrained, laughing demeanor is impeccable.
Five principles of men's business etiquette dress
Clean and tidy
Nowadays, men have learned not to dress shabby and funny, but neatness is still ignored. In our life, we can often see some men wearing brand-new suits, but they are wearing pants and dusty leather shoes, and there is no trousers line under them. Pants without straight lines are like shirts with dirty collars. Even famous brands will tarnish your image. A man is clean. An unadorned beard, messy hair, revealing layers of underwear collars, oversized pants or various dirty colors will give people a sloppy impression. Another aspect of neatness that is easily overlooked is the order of clothes: from bottom to top, from inside to outside, a person wearing clean work clothes, if it is a pair of pants with excellent texture, style and workmanship, can still give people an extraordinary impression.
style
According to the survey, women are tired of men who always wear the same suit all year round. The fashion industry provides men with far fewer clothing styles than women. If you don't choose all kinds of clothes carefully and only choose a few colors and styles, you will inevitably fall into monotony. A person who usually wears simple clothes has just started to try various styles of clothes. Besides courage, he needs skill. It is suggested to start with imitation. You can pay attention to the clothes of some popular male stars. Generally, they are designed by image designers, and their clothing tastes are naturally good. If you find someone who matches your temperament, you should observe his clothing combination style, get close to him, and then learn from each other in imitation to reflect your charm. I believe you may become a "handsome boy" soon.
give exact information
Dress up like this: put a thin vest on a red bean-colored cotton shirt, revealing a green tie. Does this dress look special? It seems frivolous in the office, but it is quite dazzling after work. Ties, scarves, belts, and warm sweaters around the shoulders and necks are all rare embellishments, especially when their colors are in harmony with the clothes they wear, the effect is often of an indescribable high standard. In winter, you can put the silk scarf into the double-knot turtleneck, revealing a little dazzling silk.
colour
Some men look impeccable in suits, but once they change into casual clothes, they will become vulgar. The reason is that such men lack color awareness and always position themselves in colors such as blue-gray coffee. In fact, it is the time when a man takes off his dark suit and puts on casual clothes. You can try plaid shirt with charcoal gray denim trousers to show your chic; You can also choose a coat with a gray back and red front with black leather pants and dress up as a motorcycle rider; You can also wear a red and white sports suit and be active on the tennis court to release youthful vitality; You can also wear a royal blue silk shirt with purple-gray or blue-gray pants, which looks expensive. The application of brighter colors to men can not only show your spirit and vitality, but also make your image more noticeable and valued.
style
A man who wears two sets of clothes 365 days a year is easily regarded as ignorant of the past and uninterested in life, which destroys the inherent calm temperament of men. Changing clothes according to the season and occasion is the right direction. If a suit of clothes with flavor, characteristics and color is suitable for your temperament, figure and occasion, it will not be monotonous if you wear it for three days in a row, but it will help you shape your personal image.
Is the batter out? Are these principles still practical? Men can learn about it, and of course women should not miss it. Dressing up your husband is also a pleasant thing.
Etiquette taboo of men's dress
1. Wearing a generous plaid suit.
This style of suit gives people the impression that it is not formal enough, and it will feel like a farmer entrepreneur or others will think that you are on vacation.
2. Wearing tight jeans.
This kind of clothes is very dangerous. Although tight jeans can outline the hip curve well, a "slim" man should not make such a bold attempt.
3. Wear shorts with words.
Usually white-collar men go in and out of the office without shorts. You'd better not wear shorts unless you think the words on them are meaningful.
4. Wear pinstripe underwear.
The demand of men in the workplace is not sexy, and see-through clothes should be resolutely abandoned. If people see a black pinstriped undershirt through a snow-white shirt, they will be hurt.
5. Stand up the coat collar.
It looks stylish, but the reality is often flawed. The fabrics and occasions of clothes will be limited, and the effect will be greatly reduced, giving people a feeling of affectation.
Men's business etiquette dress, if you want to wear a successful side of men, you must have a fashionable eye, but don't go too far. After all, your image largely determines your career development prospects.

fundamental principle
Neatly dressed
How new the fashion is, if it is not neat enough, it will greatly affect the appearance of the wearer. Whether it is casual clothes at work or ordinary street shooting, it is based on the principle of cleanliness.
Cooperate with identity
It not only conforms to the principles of economics, but also does not give people an abrupt feeling. In the office, don't wear clothes that are too shabby or expensive, especially clothes that are more expensive than your boss. Contact with people with different identities, but also have different dressing skills, not only to match their own identity, but also to match each other's identity, which helps to communicate with each other. Contact with cheerful people, should wear brightly colored clothes; If the other person is conservative and serious, wear clothes with low-key colors and conservative styles; Wear mature clothes to show your mature personality when meeting people with higher positions in the company.
Cooperation with the environment
The skill of dressing is to know what to wear on any occasion. In daily work, the color of clothes is mainly light, and the style is simple and neat, giving people a sense of intimacy. On festive occasions, black should not be the main color, and white is not suitable. At the funeral, white and black are suitable, but the whole suit should be black and white, and accessories of other colors can be embellished, as long as red is avoided.
Mating type
Clothes that don't fit will leave a ridiculous impression. Everyone should know the advantages and disadvantages of their body shape, so don't force it. Many overweight women like to wear narrow clothes, thinking that they can look thinner and more prominent; On the contrary, narrow clothes will only make obese people look fatter.
Mating age
Don't ignore the cooperation of age when dressing. I often see some women in their early 30 s, wearing costumes with bows or T-shirts with playful English letters, giving people an old and childish feeling. On the contrary, some girls in their early twenties often wear black clothes, thinking that they are mysterious, but in fact they are hiding their youth.
dress code
TOP is the abbreviation of three English words, which stand for time, occasion and place respectively, that is, the dress should be coordinated with the time, occasion and place at that time.
Time principle
Dress codes in different periods are particularly important for women. Men have a high-quality dark suit or tunic suit, which is enough to win the world, while women's clothes change with time. When working during the day, women should wear formal clothes to show their professionalism; When attending cocktail parties at night, you need to add more decorations, such as changing a pair of high heels, wearing shiny accessories and wearing a beautiful silk scarf; The choice of clothing should also be suitable for the seasonal climate characteristics and keep up with the trend.
Principle of occasion
Clothing should be in harmony with the occasion. Dress dignified and elegant when talking with customers and attending formal meetings; When listening to a concert or watching a ballet, wear a formal suit as usual; When attending a formal banquet, you should wear China traditional cheongsam or western long skirt evening dress; Dress lightly and comfortably at friends' parties, outings and other occasions. Imagine if everyone is wearing casual clothes and you are wearing formal clothes. Similarly, if you pretend to attend a formal banquet, it is not only disrespectful to the host of the banquet, but also embarrassing yourself.
Site selection principle
When you receive guests in your own home, you can wear comfortable but neat casual clothes; If you are visiting a company or unit, wearing professional clothes will look very professional; When you go out, you should take into account local traditional customs, such as going to church or temple, and you should not wear revealing or short clothes.
Pay attention to women's dress
Neat and flat
Clothing doesn't have to be high-end and luxurious, but it must be kept clean and ironed flat, so that it can be decent and look fresh. Cleanliness is not entirely for yourself, but also for the needs of others. This is the first priority of good manners.
Color technology
Different colors will give people different feelings, such as dark or cool clothes.
Give birth to a sense of visual contraction, solemn and serious; And thin or warm clothes will have a sense of expansion, making people look relaxed and lively. So you can choose the collocation according to different needs.
whole set
In addition to the main clothes, the collocation of shoes, socks and gloves should be more elegant. For example, socks should be transparent, similar to skin color or coordinated with clothing color, and socks with large patterns cannot be elegant. Sandals or boots are not suitable for formal occasions. Black leather shoes are the most widely used and can be matched with any clothes.
Ornament embellishment
Clever wearing accessories can make the finishing point and add color to ladies. But it is not advisable to wear too many accessories, otherwise it will distract each other's attention. When wearing jewelry, try to choose the same color system. The key to wearing jewelry is to match your overall clothing.
Clothing type
type
Suit skirts, jackets or shapeless coats, and dresses or two-piece skirts.
In these three types, each should consider its color and fabric. Suits and skirts are the standard professional dress for women, which can create a strong image.
A single-breasted coat can be left unbuttoned, and a double-breasted coat should always be buttoned (including the buttons inside). Wearing a monochrome dress can make your figure look thinner. There are two kinds of dresses: matching, the coat and skirt are of the same color and material; If they don't match, their tops and skirts will be different.
Selection of color
The best colors for business attire are black, navy blue, taupe, gray and crimson. Exquisite squares, prints and stripes are also acceptable. Be careful when buying red, yellow or lavender clothes, because their colors are too eye-catching. And it is easy to bump your shirt, mainly according to your skin color to choose clothes.
Detailed explanation of clothing
shirt
Shirts can be in various colors, as long as they are matched with suits. White, yellow, white and beige can go with most suits. Silk is the best shirt fabric, but dry cleaning may be more expensive. Another option is pure cotton, but make sure it is pulpy and ironed smoothly.
underwear
Make sure that the underwear fits well, the body lines are smooth and suitable for wearing, and the underwear color should not be leaked.
muffler
When choosing a scarf, pay attention to the color of the skirt. It is best to choose silk scarves, and other scarves are not so beautiful when tied or tied.
socks
Ladies should wear stockings or pantyhose when wearing skirts. The most commonly used colors are flesh-colored and black, and flesh-colored stockings are most suitable with long skirts and cheongsam. Women's socks must be the right size If it is too big, it will fall, or it will look up and down. In particular, women should not arrange their stockings in public, and the mouth of stockings should not be exposed outside the skirt. Don't wear patterned socks, because they will draw attention to your legs. You should carry a spare pair of transparent stockings with you in case the socks run or jump.
shoe
Traditional leather shoes are the best-selling professional shoes. They are both comfortable and elegant. It is suggested that the heel height should be mainly three to four centimeters. Don't wear sandals, women's shoes with straps or shoes with open toes on formal occasions. The color of shoes should be the same as or deeper than the hem of clothes. Uniform colors of clothes from hem to shoes can make most people look taller. If shoes were another color, people's eyes would be drawn to their feet. Neutral shoes are recommended, such as black, navy blue, crimson, gray or taupe. Don't wear red, pink, rose and yellow shoes. Even in summer, wearing white shoes has social significance rather than business significance. Handbags and suitcases: handbags and suitcases are preferably leather; Don't label your handbag as a designer. Women's suitcases can have hard lining or soft lining. The most practical colors are black, brown and crimson. The color of the wallet should match the shoes, but the suitcase is not necessarily.
