1. Shoulder pads. It’s best if the shoulder pads in
your jacket end where your natural shoulder ends, otherwise you run the
risk of looking like you belong on an ’80s sitcom.
2. Jacket collar. Your jacket collar should sit flat against your dress shirt collar.
3. Undershirt. Notice how the undershirt isn’t peeking out from his dress shirt? Copy that.
4. Shirt cuffs. A quarter to half an inch of your shirt cuff is the perfect amount to show underneath your suit sleeve.
5. Waistband. The waist of your trousers needs to be comfortable, yet snug. You shouldn’t need a belt (or your hands) to hold them up.
6. Hem length. Make sure the hem of your pants falls somewhere around your shoelaces. Pooling dress pants will make you look shorter, guys.
And here are the extras the dapper guy needs to finish the job:
Play with pocket squares. Although suits can seem
stuffy, accessories are the place where you can let loose and play up
your personality. Keep it classy with different color shirt, tie and
pocket square combinations.
Go for a bow tie. Bow ties
aren’t just for professors anymore. Not only are they a nice
alternative to ties, but they add a certain level of sophistication to
any suit (and they’ll kind of make you look like James Bond).
Pump up your kicks. Who says that you have to wear black shoes with black pants? Try shoes that play with multiple colors.
Don’t skip the watch. One of the most important
accessories for men is a watch, and the bigger, the better. An oversized
watch can add just the right amount of bling without being too flashy.
