Tips on How to Buy a Fitted Suit
Tips on How to Buy a Fitted Suit
Buying a fitted suit can be a bit of a task if you aren’t used to buying your own clothing. The question is—how precisely do you go about buying a fitted suit. And what on earth is a fitted suit?
First of all, men are gravitating towards smaller clothing nowadays. The giant gangster type suits from the years passed are slowly being surpassed by the fitted suit, which is a suit of different proportions—literally. A fitted suit is a suit in which the shoulders are slimmer and the hemlines are shorter. It’s fairly simple and not all that different.
When choosing a suit to buy, you want to look not only at the suit, but also at you. Firstly, make sure that your suit fits you right. If you’re a big guy, make sure your suit is big enough. If you’re a little guy, the same thing in reverse.
Now, say that you find a suit that you really like. It looks great on you—really, truly great. But the legs are too short for comfort. What do you do? Well, ask the sales associates if they have any suits that are a little bit lengthier. The same goes for if it’s too long for your tastes.
Dark colors, especially navy and black, are great color choices. They are not only slimming (which is the idea with fitted suits), but also are great for any occasion, whether it’s a business meeting or your wedding.
FUNERAL DRESS CODE FOR MEN
FUNERAL DRESSING CODE FOR MEN
One of the saddest occasions in any man’s life is when he has to attend a funeral. Funerals are very somber, formal, and respectful occasions. Part of being respectful is dressing appropriately for the funeral. Many people are actually confused as to what to wear to a funeral, but there are some very simple guidelines to follow.
Men, if they want to dress traditionally, should wear a black suit. This means black suit jacket, black slacks, plain white shirt, a long, plain necktie, preferably black. There are exceptions to these rules. A black suit paired with a black turtleneck, black dress shirt and long black tie, a black dress shirt with the first button undone and no tie, or even a black t-shirt (preferably a silky one). These can all be acceptable, depending on the deceased and the family at the funeral. Dress shoes should be worn, not tennis shoes or boots. If you are a pall-bearer, then you should wear a suit that is dark, or at the least a dark colored sports coat with a tie.
Some people don’t think that a funeral should be so dark. These people believe that the person’s death should indeed be grieved, but their life should be celebrated with some sort of color. Don’t go overboard with this. No wearing neon colors. Instead, wear a pale blue, deep red, or something similar. If there is going to be a religious service, then make sure that you dress appropriately. You should dress conservatively, in dark colors, and avoid wearing anything that is considered to be sexy. Since many men dress in sexy shirts or tight pants, they should tone it down for the service. If in doubt, check with the party beforehand, just in case all black is requested or some other combination.
