If you still struggle with tieing your tie even after reading this blog you can stop in the store today and the girls can help you or tie it yourself!Check out the table of contents below to see all of the different ways we will tie the ties.
There is no doubt that this knot is one of a kind. As opposed to the vast majority of tie knots, this one is produced by using the small end as the active end, creating a tapered fishtail braid-like effect. It’s a very fancy knot that will leave a great impression on your boss.
The trinity knot:
This beautiful knot has a three-way symmetry and resembles the Celtic Triquetra. The pattern converges at a center point, producing a very eye-catching effect. It might seem a bit intimidating at first glance, but the moves are actually fairly simple.
THE VAN WIJK KNOT
An augmentation of the Prince Albert, adding a third turning of the active end. When tied correctly, this long and slender knot creates a striking and unmistakable layered cylindrical effect. A very cool knot that works best with light colors. Itâs best suited for narrow collared shirts and paired with a vest.
THE FISHBONE KNOT
This awesome work of tie artistry is shaped in the form of a fishbone, hence the name. It’s a remarkable formal knot that is increasingly gaining respect. While somewhat challenging to tie, it’s definitely worth the effort, because it never fails to make the ultimate impression.
THE ROSE KNOT
Looking to get in touch with your romantic side? Check out this amorous necktie knot crafted in the shape of a rose. It shares similarities with the Trinity Knot, but is tied with an extra loop. This knot is sure to be a hit on V-Day.
THE ELLIE KNOT
It’s a simplified variant of the Eldredge Knot, but easier to tie and consumes less fabric, leaving a tail that allows it to be tightened or loosened like a normal windsor. It works best with semi-wide collar openings.
THE TRUELOVE KNOT
A sophisticated complex knot that is divided into four quadrants. This is a very difficult knot to tie that will take considerable practice. Consider a striped tie for a pinwheel effect. This knot isn’t for little boys, it’s for lady killers.
THE BOUTONNIERE KNOT
This knot is characterized by its long loops, making it good for wide collar openings. The moves are very similar to that of the Fishbone Knot, but it has a somewhat cleaner finish when tucked under the collar. Use it semi-formally.
THE MEROVINGIAN KNOT
Originally known as the Ediety Knot, if you’re a big fan of The Matrix, you’ll recognize this knot sported by the merovingian. This knot is very special. It looks like your tie is actually wearing a little miniature tie.
THE ATLANTIC KNOT
This is quite an unusual knot. It’s a reversed version of the Pratt Knot, resulting in an inside-out knot that shows the intricate tie knot structure that’s usually hidden on the back. Itâs recommended for festivities or informal social events.
THE CAPE KNOT
The Cape Knot is a fundamental improvement on the quick and easy Atlantic Knot, which has greatly improved its symmetry and aesthetic value. This loosened-up knot works best with mono-colored ties and never passes unnoticed.
THE GRANTCHESTER KNOT
The Grantchester Knot is a large, thick, slightly asymmetrical tie knot. It’s basically a larger version of the St. Andrew Knot, by an additional turning of the narrow end. The key to wearing this knot is to stick with silk or other lightweight materials, since wool or knits tend to look uncomfortably bulky.
THE WINDSOR KNOT
A fabulous necktie knot that is ideal for business scenarios. The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie knot that projects confidence. It is especially suited for the spread or cutaway collar.
THE HALF-WINDSOR KNOT
This is a modest version of the Full Windsor Knot. When tied correctly, it produces a neat symmetrical triangular knot that you can use with any dress shirt. It’s extremely versatile: appropriate for work or play.
THE NICKY KNOT
A great alternative to the Pratt Knot that requires fewer moves, producing a symmetrical knot that will fill the semi-spread collar, if tied properly. It looks great with wool ties, without causing too much bulk.
THE PLATTSBURGH KNOT
In contrast to the St. Andrew Knot, it produces a symmetric knot characterized by a broad cone with a narrow opening. A very sophisticated knot that’s perfect for business or work. For best results, we very much recommend wearing it with a knitted or woven ties.
THE BALTHUS KNOT
A terrific knot that should be worn at weddings or formal events. It works best with a paisley tie, a wide collar shirt, and a nice-looking vest. It’s also recommended that you use a long necktie, because this knot consumes a lot of fabric.
THE ONASSIS KNOT
The Onassis Knot is deceptively simple: at the end of a standard Windsor Knot, you simply loop the wide end of the tie behind and over the existing knot. Use with semi-wide or wide collar openings and long ties.
THE PRATT KNOT
The Pratt Knot is versatile, elegant, and of a medium size. It’s indeed well suited for any dress shirt and somewhat wider neckties made from light to medium fabrics. You canât go wrong with this elegant knot for formal meetings, as it looks very neat.
THE FOUR-IN-HAND KNOT
This is an easy to tie, slender, tapered, asymmetrical, self-releasing knot. It’s best suited for the standard button-down dress shirt and works best with wide neckties made from heavy fabrics. Use for semi-formal events, when you want to be discreet.

Below are different types of clothes that are categorized as casual.
Jeans (clean, no holes)

A great under-used style option. This combo elongates the body making you appear taller and thinner by not cutting the body in half visually. Because it is a clean casual look, it is a great way to highlight favorite accessories like shoes or a great belt.
Solid same gray
TONE-ON-TONE
Tone-on-tone casual outfits are a great version of solid color outfits. The slight amount of difference in the color between a top and bottom can make a huge difference in the feeling of the outfit. Navy pants with a light blue shirt is a classic example of a tone-on-tone outfit. The options are endless, but shades of grey make for a very modern look.
NEUTRAL BOTTOM, COLOR TOP
The easiest way to add color into your casual style. And by âcolorâ we advise blue, olive, and burgundy. No neons or other colors you may be questioning.
COLOR BOTTOM, NEUTRAL TOP
The opposite of above, best done with jeans or classic colors. Olive green pants make a great option for this outfit, olive can be treated as a neutral.
BACK TO WHITE
Similar to neutral combos, white is so versatile and classic it deserves its own category. This should be a staple look in every guys casual wardrobe. Be careful of white with black bottoms as the service industry has adopted this as their uniform. That is not to say you can not pull it off for more formal occasions or with a very casual look.
BACK TO BLACK
Black goes with everything â or so they say. Often under-used is the black on top casual outfit. This is a must for every man, skin tone, and body type, you really canât go wrong.

Hello, Welcome to our blog! Today we are going to talk about HOW you can see the quality of your suits!!
Suits are a big investment, and with the right material and a little extra money, they can last as long as 20 years!!! If you follow these simple steps we are going to share with you today, you can add years, even DECADES onto your suit! For those of you who wear them often: You know how pricey they can get! As we tackle the different signs of a good quality suit, don’t forget the upkeep is just as important!
Check out the table of contents below to see what we cover today!
The first sign to look for regardless of where you buy your suit from is the fabric quality, and that will be shown on the label. The only words you want to see are â100% Wool.â If you see a bunch of different types of fabric, then it can’t be good quality. When there are many different fabric pieces, there is a higher chance of them falling apart. If it is all wool, then you know it is good quality.
A fused lining thatâs held together with glue is about as bad as going for a $99 polyester suit. The cheapest quality suits will have a fused lining. The highest quality suits will have a full canvas or at least a half canvas.
While suits can be expensive, it may be best to get the pricier one. If you buy the more expensive one you can take proper care of it and it can last YEARS.
The ability for mass-manufacturers to replicate what used to be hallmarks of a custom suit has never been greater. With that said, you still want to examine the quality of the craftsmanship and look to see how the suit comes together.
You do not want a suit with jagged, loose, crooked stitching. If the stiching is messy and loose it was probably made quickly and it will not last very long. If you are in a tight spot and can’t afford a high quality suit, just make sure to be careful. Cheaper suits will not last going to the dry cleaners.
From the way the pockets come together, to the drape, the buttonholes, and the boutonniere loop. Each of these small details often have the biggest impact when it comes to how you look. Machine-sewn pockets arenât as sturdy and will wear quickly when utilized. Stiff lapels without a slight roll are a hallmark of a cheap suit. Plastic buttons can break, and even horn buttons that use plastic anchors can fall off in the middle of your board meeting.
The last thing you want is to leave the store with a great navy suit and have it look four shades of blue by next summer. Look at the design. How is it dyed? Is it even and are the colors vivid? Will they fade? Is the pattern perfectly done across the suit, or are they misaligned where the fabric was cut?
Bottom line: look closely and pay attention.
The Fit:
It’s all about the perfect fit. The fit of your suit is arguably the most important aspect of a good quality men’s suit. It’s also the aspect with the most impact on how your suit looks and feels on you. Ask yourself, if the suit doesn’t fit you perfectly, why buy it?
After all, it’s not a cheap purchase. Off-the-rack suits use a âstandard sizing,â which is a sort of one-size-fits-all approach to suiting that uses only chest size and jacket length to determine your âidealâ fit.
What about other factors like:
Sleeve length
Sleeve and trouser circumferences
Crotch length
In addition to the above, what about your posture, and the shape of your shoulders? The list goes on. Your body is a unique shape and size so even if you think off-the-rack sizing is ok for you, there will always be one area of fit that’s not quite right.
Getting the perfect suit fit is a game of inches⊠well 1/4 inches actually! A good quality men’s suit is one that’s made to your exact body measurements. Period.
The Construction of your suit should be âHalf Canvassedâ or âFully Canvassedâ and not âFused.â One of the key differences between premium and low quality suit jackets is their construction. The chest of any jacket should be constructed of three (3) layers of material:
The fabric on the outside of the coat
The lining that makes up its inside
A layer of canvassing in between that gives the coat its shape
HOW TO TELL A CANVASSED VS. FUSED JACKET – THE âPINCH TESTâ
It’s easy to check whether the suit jacket you’re looking at is fused or canvassed. Simply pinch the chest fabric and lining between the fingers of each hand and pull them apart slightly. If it’s canvassed, you should be able to feel three distinct layers: the outside fabric, the canvas, and the lining. If it’s fused, you’ll only feel two layers. To distinguish between Full and Half Canvassing, perform the same pinch test down by the buttons.
Make sure to check the lapels before purchasing a new suit! The stitching should be even and equal all throughout. The stitches should also be nice and tight, if they aren’t then it may fall apart easily and fast.
Today we explained when you’re buying a new suit, you need to look at the lapel, lining, stitching, details, coloring, fit, construction and a nice little pinch test to see if it quality!
Above is a guide to spotting a quality suit but it also important to mention how to care for and maintain the quality of these suits. Only then can one suit last you as long as you need it to, and only then will a collection of well kept suits be one of your greatest assets in the workplace.

Conclusion
The Fit:
When you try on a suit, try to stand in your “Natural stance” this would be how you stand the most often, just let your body stand natural, your muscle memory will help you with this.
You don’t want the suit to be too loose or too tight, pay extra attention to where your major joints are (Elbows, Shoulders, Hips, Knees, Etc.) If the clothes are too tight you won’t be able to use your full range of motion. If the clothes are too loose, they will be baggy and bunch up in those main key places. You also don’t want the sleeves to pass your wrist too far or the pants to be so long the fabric goes underneath your shoes.
A well-fitted shoulder lies flat. The seam on top of the shoulder should be the same length as the bone under it, and should meet the sleeve of the suit right where your arm meets your shoulder.
If the seam that connects the sleeve to the jacket is hiked up along your shoulder bone, or dangling down on your upper bicep, the jacket is never going to sit properly. In these instances, youâll see âripple effectsâ that create lumps or wrinkles on the sleeve and the top of the jacket. If you can’t move your arms well, or if you cannot pinch just the jacket, it is too small. If the shoulder seam of the jacket is below your shoulder, or the sleeves run farther than 1/2 an inch past your wrist than the jacket is too big.
The trouser break is the bottom of your pants, below the pants cuff. Pants have a couple signs of them being too big or too small. Sometimes the most obvious one is the trouser break, they should rest slightly on the top of your shoes. If it doesn’t go to the top of your shoes it is too small, and if it goes below the middle of your heel it is too big. You don’t want your pant bottoms to drag on the ground, you will step on them, they will rip and tear and it looks tacky. Looking Tacky isn’t ideal when wearing a suit!
The jacket collar should rest easily on the back on your neck and shoulders. If it hangs farther back, or is bunched up causing “ripples” behind your neck, the jacket is too big. If it is tight and has little scrunches the jacket is too small.
When your jacket is buttoned make sure it isn’t making an “x” as shown above. This means the jacket is too tight! It is pulling all the extra fabric it can find to make the button fit.
The two-button single-breasted suit jacket: Is one of the most classic looks in men’s fashion. This style of suit looks good on all body types.
The cut of the suit makes just about every man’s frame look longer. Two-button suits are great for both social and business events.
The three-button single-breasted suit jacket: Because of the arrangement of the buttons â three button suit jackets suit taller men.
A word on the rules of buttoning a single breasted jacket:
One button: Always closed except when sitting.
Two buttons: Use the top one and leave the second button undone.
Three buttons: Button the center and top ones and leave the third button undone.
Never button the bottom button of a suit jacket.
Types of Suits:
Single Breasted:
A single–breasted shirt or jacket has a narrow overlap and only one column of buttons. Single-breasted suit jackets and blazers typically have two or three buttons (jackets with one or four buttons are less common), and a notch lapel.
Double Breasted:
A double–breasted garment is a coat, jacket, or vest with wide, overlapping front flaps which has on its front two symmetrical columns of buttons. Double-breasted suits have a more sophisticated look.
Seeing the quality in your suit:
100% Wool:
The first sign to look for regardless of where you buy your suit from is the fabric quality. The only words you want to see are â100% Wool.â If you do not recognize the name of the fabric it is being made of or if it is a concoction of multiple different fabrics, RUN! If you buy something with multiple different fabrics together the chances are it is going to fall apart quickly and last you about 1 nice event… maybe 2.
Look at the lining- A fused lining thatâs held together with glue is about as bad as going for a $99 polyester suit. The cheapest quality suits will have a fused lining. The highest quality suits will have a full canvas or at least a half canvas.
Stitching:
Check out the stitching- The ability for mass-manufacturers to replicate what used to be hallmarks of a custom suit has never been greater. With that said, you still want to examine the quality of the craftsmanship and look to see how the suit comes together.
You do not want a suit with jagged, loose, crooked stitching. If the stiching is messy and loose it was probably made quickly and it will not last very long. If you are in a tight spot and can’t afford a high quality suit, just make sure to be careful. Cheaper suits will not last going to the dry cleaners.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS:
From the way the pockets come together, to the drape, the buttonholes, and the boutonniere loop. Each of these small details often have the biggest impact when it comes to how you look. Machine-sewn pockets arenât as sturdy and will wear quickly when utilized. Stiff lapels without a slight roll are a hallmark of a cheap suit. Plastic buttons can break, and even horn buttons that use plastic anchors can fall off in the middle of your board meeting.
The last thing you want is to leave the store with a great navy suit and have it look four shades of blue by next summer. Look at the design. How is it dyed? Is it even and are the colors vivid? Will they fade? Is the pattern perfectly done across the suit, or are they misaligned where the fabric was cut?
Bottom line: look closely and pay attention.
HOW TO TELL A CANVASSED VS. FUSED JACKET – THE âPINCH TESTâ
It’s easy to check whether the suit jacket you’re looking at is fused or canvassed. Simply pinch the chest fabric and lining between the fingers of each hand and pull them apart slightly. If it’s canvassed, you should be able to feel three distinct layers: the outside fabric, the canvas, and the lining. If it’s fused, you’ll only feel two layers. To distinguish between Full and Half Canvassing, perform the same pinch test down by the buttons.
If you wear the same suit every day, all day long it will never give the fibers time to relax or air out. It will always stay loose and never have the great “first fit” like it did when you first bought it.
Round, wood hanger:
Using round, wood hangers will give the suit enough space for air to flow through and getting the smells of your every day out. It also helps keep the suit fitting nice and tight. The rounded edges mock the shoulder make so it won’t stretch the suit out, only create enough space for it to relax in the natural form.
Cover it up:
When you aren’t wearing the usit, it should be on the wood hanger as discussed earlier, as well as in an appropriate suit bag. This will keep any bugs or dust from getting into the bag or onto your suit. It also protects it from any unfortunate events that may happen, and makes it easier to travel with.
How to Clean/Maintaine your suits:
Brush your suit with a clothing brush:
This will extend the natural fibers in the suit, allowing it to last longer. It also helps keep the fibers up allowing it to breathe more and not hold in strong odors from the day.
Roll your suit:
Do this after brushing it. Rolling your suit will grab any loose fabric pieces or hair stuck on your suit. It is a little extra step that takes your look a long way!
Steam your suit regularly:
Steaming your suit opens up the fibers, removes stains and marks, as well as the smells from throughout the day. Dry ironing your suit will push the fibers down trapping all stains and stenches, so try to avoid ironing your suits!
Avoid the dry cleaners:
Dry cleaners shorten the lifespan of suits. They use strong chemicals to treat the suits so they are clean. It is only necessary to take your suit to the dry cleaners if you absolutely cannot get the stain or smell out of your suit by brushing it, airing it, or steaming it.
How to fold your suit:
Step one:
Lay the suit face down on a flat surface with the front up.
STEP 2
Flip the jacket over and fold the left shoulder back. towards the right.
STEP 3:
Turn the right shoulder inside out, then tuck left shoulder into the right.
STEP 4:
Fold it in half lengthwise, then fold it horizontally.
STEP 5:
Place the folded jacket in the center of the outstretched trousers.
STEP 6:
Fold the trouser bottoms over the jacket and repeat with the top of the trousers.
General Tips:
Donât go crazy with color. If you havenât experimented with color before then stick with less intense colors like your Blues, Blacks, and Greens before expanding into bolder, brighter colors.
Understand color scheme. A simple way to keep track of color to pair lighter and darker versions of the same color. This is a monochromatic color scheme and its a simple way to add some flair to your look. Another color scheme involves pairing colors that fall next to each other on the color wheel, such as wearing a dark purple shirt with a blue tie. On the other end you could also pair colors that fall completely opposite each other on the color wheel, such as a blue shirt and a red tie, a classic look that provides great visual contrast.
Be careful with patterns. You donât need to be scared of patterns and now that you have a better understanding of color, adding a pattern to your wardrobe is the next logical step. There are many different options – shirt and tie with a pattern, solid tie and patterned shirt, etc. – but the one rule of thumb to have when using multiple patterns is to vary the proportions of each design.
If you decide you want patterns you need to keep these things in mind:
Pattern- The pattern shouldn’t be too distracting. The pattern on your shirt should not be the same pattern on your tie.
Size- The size of your patterns should not be the same. Go with a bigger pattern on your shirt and a smaller pattern on your tie, or vice-versa.
If you decide to go with patterns keep in mind they should ALWAYS vary in size and design.
Jacket & Bottoms:
First, we are going to start with the basics! Every suit needs a jacket and bottoms! Of course, you can always play it safe by having them be the same color, or you can venture out of your bubble! We will give some great examples and help give you confidence as you pick out your outfit for the day! You can have a dark version of a color jacket and a light version of the same color as your pants, or vice-versa! Dark neutrals (first picture) scream confidence. As long as you follow those few rules and don’t use extreme colors, you really can’t go wrong.
Once you have your pants and jacket, we can move onto your shirt!
Shirt:
A classic white shirt will never fail and it sits with all suit colors and tones. Lilac and purple are just two tones that work well with grey or navy suits, while soft greys and periwinkle are great choices with black or charcoal. You can always play it safe by keeping things neutral!
Now that you have a matching jacket, bottoms, and shirt…we move onto the tie!
There are so many colors, fabrications, patterns and textures, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Once youâve confirmed the general dress code of the event, identify the overall color: your tie should, ultimately, complement the dominate shade with an overall color or patter. Try matching a rich blue tie with a sky-blue shirt and dark navy suit for a tonal look, or a red tie for some color-pop and contrast. If youâre wearing grey, stick with muted tones such as brown or burgundy, or choose a black tie for a sharp salt-and-pepper effect.
Try to avoid any pairings that invoke thoughts of a specific holiday; while it is possible to pull off such combos, itâs a delicate balancing act that can come across as costumey as opposed to polished and sophisticated.
If your occasion is more than business casual, than you should also have a pocket square in your jacket pocket.
Pocket Square:
For most cases, your pocket square should match your tie. You don’t want to have too many colors and patterns going on or you will just look like a hot mess instead of hot. If you choose to venture out, it is important that the color should complement either the shirt or tie. The safest option is to pair a white shirt with a white pocket square. For a more advanced approach, look for a patterned pocket square where the secondary color matches the tie, or go tonal with a subtle change of shade between the shirt, tie and square.
Classic dressers should opt for black, burgundy, or dark grey socks. Of course, you can always play it safe and have your socks match your jacket and bottoms, shirt, or your tie and pocket square!
Shoes:
Always wear black shoes with a black suit and recycle them for deep navy business suits when you have a day in the boardroom. Chocolate brown shoes will work with your staple navy and grey tailoring. Our advice, keep it simple. Stick to the neutral colors, black, white, brown, and grey.
Once youâve got the main show sorted, itâs onto the supportting acts. Some accessories, like cufflinks, can lift a look from standard to headliner â providing you pick the right ones. When wearing a white shirt, you can experiment with any color, pattern or shape cufflinks, unless youâre in a strict formal environment. Gold designs really stand out against a light blue or navy shirt, while black onyx is better suited to black tie

Welcome to Suits Avenue’s blog! Today we are going to talk about the difference between a suit and a tuxedo, when to wear them, as well as how to take care of them!
Both are a pretty big financial investment and both are important for their own events. Taking the proper steps to care for them will ensure you get the most bang for your buck and that they last the longest!
Check out our table of contents below to see everything we cover!
The primary physical difference between a tuxedo and a suit is the presence of satin. Traditionally tuxedos have satin facing on the lapels, buttons, pocket trim, and a satin side stripe down the leg of the trousers. Suits donât incorporate any satin and usually have either plastic buttons or buttons faced with the same fabric as the coat (aka self buttons.) Some modern tuxedo options have minimized the use of satin to a thin satin trim on the lapels and a thin satin bead down the pant leg, but the primary difference between the two is that tuxedos have satin on them and suits donât. Of course, to every rule there are exceptions.
If you’ve received an invitation to attend a formal affair and it notes âblack tieâ or âblack tie optional,â it’s time to pull out the tuxedo. Traditionally, you should not wear a tuxedo before 6 p.m. since it is so formal. Generally, you won’t receive a black tie invitation for an event that starts before then, unless it’s a wedding. If you are in the wedding party, most likely you will be prompted to wear a tuxedo. As a general attendee, it’s unnecessary. Tuxedo shirts come with traditional pointed or wing collars, and you can pick either one. Decide if you want a simple or pleated front â either is acceptable. Make sure that the shirt is finished with French cuffs and that you are wearing cuff-links to complete the look.
Now that we have gone over the differences between a suit and a tuxedo and the appropriate times to wear them, now we are going to go over how to care for them! Taking the proper steps to caring for your suit or tuxedo will ensure they last longer!
If you wear the same suit every day, all day long it will never give the fibers time to relax or air out. It will always stay loose and never have the great “first fit” like it did when you first bought it. By rotating through your suits and giving each of them a few days to rest in the closet will make sure your suit is nice and crisp for your next formal adventure!
2. Wood hangers:
Using round, wood hangers will give the suit enough space for air to flow through and getting the smells of your every day out. It also helps keep the suit fitting nice and tight. The rounded edges mock the shoulder make so it won’t stretch the suit out, only create enough space for it to relax in the natural form.
Do not overfill any of your pockets, inside or outside of the suit. Only carry your essentials, cash, business cards, or debit/credit cards. If you overload your pockets it will eventually change the shape of the suit and it will become more lose and unnatural.
4. Brush your suit with a clothing brush:
This will extend the natural fibers in the suit, allowing it to last longer. It also helps keep the fibers up allowing it to breathe more and not hold in strong odors from the day. Be careful not to over brush your suit though, this will cause the fibers to become too loose and eventually fall apart quicker.

Hi everyone, thank you for reading How to care for your suits with Suits Avenue! Today, we will go over the things you can do to add extra years onto your suits life!

Hi! Welcome to Suits Avenue’s Blog! Today we are going to go over the in’s and out’s of being a best man at a wedding! Itâs one of the greatest honors in life to be asked to be a friend or relativeâs best man at their wedding. Itâs a role that comes with some key responsibilities as well, so itâs not something to be taken lightly. When you accept the offer, youâll be feeling proud and pleased, but this can soon give way to anxiety and stress if you donât get your tasks sorted out as efficiently and promptly as possible. Therefore, you should have a plan of what you need to do and when each task needs to be completed to keep you on track and up to the mark. In this blog hopefully we will help you get on the right track to help the bride and groom enjoy one of the best moments of their lives! Check out the table of contents below to see everything we cover!

Conclusion
Clothes:
Amongst their other responsibilities, the best man is normally in charge of organizing suit fittings and hiring apparel that isnât going to be bought. What the wedding party wears will be crucial to the success of the event, so you need to be clear about what the groom wants to wear and how his groomsmen should be dressed. Organizing a trip to a tailor for selection and fitting of your outfits should be done well in advance to avoid running out of time if there are any delays. Often grooms (or their future wives!) have clear ideas about the type of suit they should wear for the big day, but itâs still a good idea to be thorough in your research and look at all the alternatives. Youâll also need to manage the distribution of buttonholes and flowers for the wedding party, and liaise with the chief bridesmaid or matron of honor to ensure everyone is properly attired. In addition, you should arrange collection and distribution of the suits when they are ready, and the return of the clothing after the wedding.
This means we are discussing the essential accessories that will provide the final, perfect touch to your wedding day outfit. Below are tips and tricks for finding the right shoes, cufflinks, tie, belt, and cummerbund – and whether or not you should have any of these custom made.
The vest is optional, but if the wedding is more traditional, they will probably request all of the groomsmen wearing them. The vest can be one of the more bold accent colors. It will really stand out if you have a light shirt and dark vest or dark shirt and light vest.
CUFF LINKS:
These are necessary not only to make a fashion statement but also to help keep your jacket sleeves nice and tight against your wrist.
TIE AND POCKET SQUARE:
Your tie and pocket square don’t necessarily need to match, but for a wedding… it is usually best. They can match the vest if you are wearing one, or they can be the accent in your outfit!
The best man is responsible for throwing a suitable bachelor party for the groom and all his friends before the wedding. The best bachelor parties arenât necessarily those where everyone drinks far too much, and the groom ends up chained to a lamp post wearing ladiesâ underwear! That kind of night might be right up the groomâs street, but if not, then there are plenty of alternative ways to make this a special day. Escape Rooms are becoming more commonplace, and provide an ideal mix of action and distraction, as well as being highly entertaining. Many experiences only take an hour or so to complete â if you can unravel the mystery! After completing the escape room challenge, you could then head into town for a meal, and follow this up with a club or bar. If drinking isnât your partyâs thing, then games night, movie night, a sports event, or an outdoor challenge like a camping trip to the forest might be a better way of spending the day.
Couples generally hope that their wedding day will be a once in a lifetime experience, and that being the case itâs important that you take your role as best man seriously and make every effort to ensure the bride and groom enjoy the day as much as possible.
PUTTING YOUR OUTFIT TOGETHER:
Start with a matching nice slim fit blazer and dress pants! You want them to flow nicely with your body, Click here to see another local blog on how to wear the proper suit.
Next find a nice dress shirt for underneath, for formal occasions like a wedding a white or navy blue is best.
Shoes and ties are the next stop. If your undershirt has a pattern you will want a solid tie or vice versa. If you choose to both have a pattern make sure they vary in size and design. You can never go wrong with a nice shiny black pair of dress shoes.
We import quality menswear for all occasions – one of those important occasions could be your wedding and you will face important decisions about what you and your groomsmen should wear. This post is going to provide 7 great tips that you can follow as you prepare to dress the groomsmen for the big day!
Talk to your spouse about what the bridesmaids are wearing.
Obviously you should consult your other half about the wedding before making any big decisions. To create a cohesive wedding you will want to coordinate outfits for the bridesmaids and groomsmen that complement each other in a certain way. They donât have to match entirely – unless you want them too! – but it will help you plan your own outfits accordingly. It can even just involve one common color. Speaking of colorâŠ
Start with Color
Whether or not you require a full consultation with fully customizable tuxedoes or you are going to a bridal shop to pick something off the rack, you should always start with a certain color in mind. You can bring in a picture of what the bridesmaids are wearing, a color swatch, or at the very least an idea of what color you should be looking for. If you decide to shop online this can be made even simpler as most online stores allow you to search by color. When in doubt – seek advice and stick to original color with a simple, good looking fit.
Slim fitting suits look great on a variety of body types
The important thing to know about the slim fitting suit is that it looks great on a variety of shapes and sizes. This is because they look crisp and tailored with a flattering style that creates a nice, clean, cohesive look.
Donât be afraid of the casual look
Some men can pull this off well. If you are confident in your own style and what the bridesmaids are wearing donât be afraid to put your own spin on the casual look. This can translate into bow-ties and suspenders or just simply shedding the tradition of the three piece suit. Dressing the wedding ushers in casual attire is another fun way to incorporate this look into the wedding without disrupting how the groomsmen are dressed.
Get Professional Measurements
With all the stress of the wedding the last thing you want to worry about is the fit. That is why you should get professionally measured by a tailor to ensure the very best fit possible. You will still have to worry about the color and the style but ensuring a good fitting suit will take one less worry off your plate.
If you are confident in your groomsmen and are not concerned with wearing matching suits then donât be afraid to let your groomsmen take the reigns and pick their own suit. Set some parameters – but letting them pick something on their own will no doubt result in an outfit that is more comfortable for them to wear for long periods of time. You can still have the final call but this is a great way to let your groomsmen have some fun.
If these tips donât help and you are totally lost on what you want – donât be afraid to keep it simple! A lot of couples decide to have the groom and groomsmen all in the same suit/tux, with white or ivory shirts underneath. And then you can have them wearing matching ties with differing pocket squares or identical pocket squares and mismatched ties. If you want to have more fun with it you can decide to have the men in colored shirts or have fun, patterned ties. If youâre open to having fun with it – the more pattern, the more relaxed the wedding.
Cufflinks: these are an essential accessory for any groom, and if you are going the traditional wedding route there is a particular detail about them that you are going to want to know. According to Wedding Wire âtraditionally, men received cufflinks as gifts on special occasions. It’s said that a man should never buy his own cufflinks. Perhaps you could hint at your loved ones that you’ll need a pair of special cufflinks for your wedding.â However, you can still buy your own so make sure your cufflinks represent you and provide a crisp complement to your wedding shirt. Remember to wear a shirt with French cuffs and no buttons on the cuffs so that you can fasten them with cufflinks.
Belt: This is where the decision to get your suit custom made or tailored comes in. If you have made-to-measure trousers there is no need for a belt as the pants will be suited to fit you perfectly, at that point a belt would detract from your perfectly polished image you are projecting on the wedding day.
These accessories will be the final touches on the perfect traditional wedding look. They are timeless and provide the perfect look for your wedding and classic wedding photos. But every wedding is different and in todayâs environment the casual look is often a viable alternative to the traditional wedding. So explore what is right for you and donât forget to stay tuned to our website and the Suits Centre blog for more wedding season tips and topics on suits.
