What Is Men Suit?
Men suit is a staple of menswear that originated in Western countries but is now popular worldwide. Generally speaking, a suit comprises a tailored, buttoned jacket and a pair of pants made from the same material and of the same color.
Depending on the material, the cut, and the color, a suit can be part of a casualwear ensemble, the basis for a business casualoutfit, or a necessity for a formal event.
3 Types of Men Suit.
There are three basic types of suits: the two-piece, the three-piece, and the tuxedo. Within those suit styles, there are endless variations on the material (wool, cotton, polyester), button style (two- vs. three-button and double-breasted), pocket arrangement, venting, and cut (slim-fit, classic fit, and more).
- 1. Two-piece suit: A two-piece men suit is the most basic type of suit, consisting of a suit jacket and matching trousers. The two-piece is the type of suit you might wear to a job interview.
- 2. Three-piece suit: A three-piece suit consists of a matching suit jacket and trousers, plus a vest. It’s the perfect type of suit for weddings and special occasions at work.
- 3. Tuxedo: A tuxedo or dinner men suit is a special-occasion suit consisting of a black or midnight blue dinner jacket with just one button and matching trousers, worn with a bowtie. Wear a tuxedo to events with a dress code that calls for black-tie attire.
3 Tips for Choosing a Full Suit
Looking good in a suit starts with buying the right type. Here are three tips to consider as you make your selection.
- 1. Get a custom fit. Tailoring is more important than expensive fabric, so invest in a good tailor who can make the necessary adjustments to an off-the-rack suit.
- 2. Opt for neutral colors. When choosing a suit, select a color appropriate for numerous occasions, like dark gray or navy blue; straight black is too harsh for some events. Similarly, if the suit has a pattern (like pinstripe or plaid), it should be subtle enough that you can still pair it with other accessories.
- 3. Ignore the pockets. For many items of clothing, functional pockets are critical. However, when trying on a suit, you can ignore the pockets. If you use your suit pockets, they can distort the silhouette.
