Men’s Formal Wear – How to Dress With Style

When looking at men’s formal wear you need to follow some simple basic guidelines to get an instant classic look which projects a sense of style.

Getting the right look with men’s formal wear is not difficult, if you follow the image guidelines below.

Your suit

In men’s formal wear let’s start with choosing a formal suit.

1. Style

Changes, but you can’t go wrong with a single-breasted, solid color suit in black, grey or navy blue and always remember a single-breasted suit will make you look slimmer and sleeker in appearance.

In men’s formal wear a stylish suit can conjure up a number of images, all of them positive.

A suit can make you look powerful, mature, conservative, or sexy. Remember, most women love men in suits!

2. Fabrics and Patterns

Wool is always a safe option when buying a suit. It looks good and wears well.

Worsted wools are lightweight for spring and summer. Gabardine wools are heavier for winter. Wool Crepes are lightweight with softer finishes. Flannel wools are heaviest. Patterns for interview suits are limited to solids, stripes (pinstripe, chalk stripe, beaded-stripe, multistripe), Glen plaids, and checks (hounds-tooth, windowpane, and herringbone).

Picking The Right Shirt

Generally men with narrow faces can choose collars that are wider, to help broaden their faces; conversely, men with wider faces should choose collars that are narrower, to help lengthen their faces.

Ties

Suits come in basic styles and colors, but ties let you show your individuality within a formal look.

If you want to make a bold statement wear a patterned tie with a patterned shirt, make sure that the color schemes are the same and that the patterns go in the same direction.

Finally, don’t forget the Length: It should hit the top of your belt buckle and the deal width of ties is between 3 and 4 inches.

Men’s Formal Wear Combining Tie’s Shirts & Suits

When choosing a jacket-shirt-and-tie trio, match its level of color contrast to your personal colouring.

Your colouring consists of your complexion and hair color.

If you’re coloring is high-contrast i.e. dark hair and light skin, or vice versa–your jacket, tie, and shirt combo should be high contrast, too. But if your hair-hide contrast is softer and lighter i.e. you’re blond or gray-haired with pale skin, or dark-skinned with dark hair–you should go for lower-contrast clothes.

Two different scales For Balance When you’re combining two like patterns in the jacket-shirt-tie triangle, they should be of different gauges.

If your suit has pinstripes 3/4 inch apart, your tie should have significantly broader or thinner bands. If your suit is a striped one (with lines more than an inch apart), your shirt’s stripes should be narrower and closer together.

If you wear two different designs within the lapel triangle–say, a checked shirt and a striped tie, or a striped suit and repeating-medallion tie–they should be different scales in size If your shirt has a narrow stripe, your tie needs a wider stripe i.e. pair large with small.

De Emphasize

Choose clothes that de-emphasize your extremes.

If you’re short, look for strong vertical elements: pinstriped suits, two-button jackets. If you’re very thin, choose a jacket with wider shoulders. If you have a heavier build then Wear darker colors and go monotone from top to bottom.

Watches

The first thing to look for in a man’s watch is a large face, as these designs are generally accepted by everyone as looking stylish.

Get a nice belt

Don’t forget your belt you want quality, a good quality belt doesn’t have to be expensive and is money well spent.

Your belt color should be coordinated with your footwear – black with black, brown with brown.

Shoes

Black is the traditional safe color for work but Brown or ox blood colors can also look stylish.

You can also use a variety of styles including loafers, wingtips, round-toe, or the trendier pointy-tipped shoe.

Shoes are no place to economize on quality. For men, shoes are the final detail and are one of the areas all women notice.

Which outfit would look better?

1) Faded blue skinny jeans with rips in the knees, pale green vest top with little heart buttons on the front, light & dark blue striped hoodie, black and grey converse with little broken hearts on the back haf.

2) Faded blue skinnies with ripped knees, cream tshirt with a red star design on the front with writing that looks like russian (I don’t actually know what it is…), blue checked shirt half done up over it, cream converse with black pinstripes and a brown leather-look jacket.

They’re just for something casual, I’ll have a bit of jewellery on too but I don’t know what yet. I’m a size 10, I have really pale skin, long purple hair with a choppy fringe and quite a few piercings (but my only facial one is my septum). Which do you think would look better?

1) It seems to me as if this would be a good look if you are trying to express that you are not feeling scared, and are wanting to show that you are Gothic/Emo/Alt. The pale colours with the dark colours would work well, a good blend is necessary when it comes to clothing. Black and grey converse are very nice, I have a pair. Consider wearing deep make up and keep your skin pasty and pale. Foundation will do you no good. Try to use pitch black mascara to extend your lashes. Dark purple eye shadow would go great with this look also.

2) This is my favourite choice out of the two, it expresses what a real dark figure is all about. From the description you have given of yourself this will suit better. I like the sound of the blue checked shirt, and the brown leather look jacket. The Russian looking font is very nice, I do have the t-shirt and also believe it is Eastern European text. The red star design sounds cute, yet fierce. I once again recommend heavy make up such as reds and blacks.

You seem to have a great figure and look.
