Suits are becoming more and more popular among people because of their beautiful design, simple and smooth lines, strong three-dimensional effect and wide adaptability. It has become almost universal clothing, suitable for men, women, old and young. The suit is 70% in the making and 30% in the wear. The selection and matching of suits is very particular. When choosing a suit, you must consider color, size, price, fabric and workmanship, and you must not ignore the shape, lines and proportions. A suit does not necessarily have to be made of high-end materials, but it must be cut to fit and neat and straight. Choose a monochromatic suit with darker, calmer colors, no obvious patterns, but higher-end fabrics. It is suitable for a wide range of occasions, has a long wearing time, and has a high utilization rate.
Wearing a suit should follow the following etiquette principles:
1. The color of the upper and lower parts of the suit should be consistent. In terms of matching, two of the suits, shirts, and ties should be in plain colors.
2. Leather shoes must be worn when wearing a suit. Casual shoes, cloth shoes and travel shoes are not suitable.
3. The color of the shirt worn with the suit should be coordinated with the color of the suit and cannot be the same color. White shirts look great with suits of any color. Men should not wear brightly colored plaid or patterned shirts on formal occasions. The shirt cuffs should be 1-2 cm longer than the suit cuffs. You must wear a tie when wearing a suit on formal and solemn occasions, but not necessarily on other occasions. The shirt collar buttons must be fastened when wearing a tie, and the shirt collar buttons should be unbuttoned when not wearing a tie.
4. Suit buttons can be divided into single row and double row, and the button tying method should be particular: double-breasted suits should have all buttons fastened. Single-breasted suit: One-button, buttoned up dignifiedly, open and unrestrained; two-buttoned, only buttoned with the top button, it is fashionable and orthodox, only buttoned with the bottom button, it is bold and trendy, and buttoned with all buttons, it is rustic, both If it is not fastened open, it is chic and handsome. If it is fully buttoned or only the second button is buttoned, it does not meet the standards. If it is three buttoned, it is standard if it is buttoned with the top two buttons or only the middle button.
5. It is not advisable to put too many things in the jacket pockets and trouser pockets of the suit. Don't wear too much underwear when wearing a suit. It's best to wear only one shirt in spring and autumn. Don't wear a cotton sweater under a shirt in winter. You can wear a woolen sweater outside the shirt. Wearing too much bulk will ruin the overall beauty of the suit.
6. The color and pattern of the tie should be coordinated with the suit. When wearing a tie, the length of the tie should reach the belt buckle, and the tie clip should be worn between the fourth and fifth buttons of the shirt.
7. The trademark label on the cuffs of a suit should be removed, otherwise it will not comply with the dress code of suits and will make people laugh in elegant occasions.
8. Pay attention to the maintenance of your suit. The way you maintain and store your suit has a great impact on its shape and service life. High-end suits should be hung in a ventilated place and often dried in the sun. Pay attention to insect-proof and moisture-proof. If there are wrinkles, you can hang them in the bathroom after bathing, use steam to unfold the wrinkles, and then hang them in a ventilated place.
Women: When women wear suits, trousers (skirts) or cheongsam, they need to wear flesh-colored trousers or pantyhose. They are not allowed to go bare-legged or wear colored stockings or socks. When wearing a shirt, the color of the underwear and the shirt should be close and similar; when wearing a skirt with thin fabrics, a petticoat should be worn.
Men: When men wear suits or uniforms when attending formal occasions, they must adhere to the three-color principle, that is, the colors on their bodies cannot exceed three colors or three color systems (leather shoes, belts, and bags should be of one color or color Department), nylon stockings and white socks cannot be worn.
Usage of tie clip: It should be used when wearing a suit. That is to say, it is not necessary to use a tie clip when only wearing a long-sleeved shirt, let alone when wearing a jacket.
When wearing a suit, pin the tie clip in a specific position, that is, counting from top to bottom, between the fourth and fifth buttons of the shirt, pin the tie clip on, and then button the suit jacket. , the tie clip should generally not be visible from the outside. Because according to the rules of cosmetic etiquette, the main purpose of accessories like tie clips is to fix the tie. If it is slightly exposed, it is acceptable. If it is pinned too high, or even close to the collar button of the shirt, it will appear too showy.
The above is only for men’s formal wear.
