Suit Separates: Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together.
Everyone’s familiar with a suit, or one type of suit at the very least. They are the mark of a successful man, but why is that? What is it about a dashing suit that makes you feel confident and charismatic? After all, they are all just clothes like any other piece of cloth you wear.
Pairing different suit separates together is not uncommon and is very well done if you know what to do. It all seems to be very simple but there is a type of science to it. Put on your lab coats and adjust your glasses, we’re going to dive in and understand suit separates.
Suit Separates: Coat of arms.
The top half of the suit is a very important and integral part of the set. Whether it’s your common suit jacket or blazer, this usually sets the tone for the type of suit that you are wearing. It is the first thing a person sees when they glance at your suit. A jacket is used for more formal functions, business meetings and is usually worn to match your pants and shoes. Blazers are a bit more casual and are regularly worn for events like golfing and can be matched with pants of complementing colours.
Bottoms up.
Matching to have a complete suit is crucial. Pants or suit trousers work hand in hand with your jacket or blazer to bring your suit together. Although these articles of clothing can be worn separately, when they combine, they create all the magic. Coordinating the colours of your pants with the colours of your jackets are the difference between a great suit and a flop. Knowing how to apply these is how you can make your suits separates work.
Suit Separates: Are you really ‘invested’?
Waistcoats or vest are a very classy inclusion to your suit. They add an air of elegance to an already professional look. They are optional of course but if you are looking for that look to captivate and entice, then there’s little choice. You can use your waistcoat to demonstrate your fashion sense and depending on your choice of colour, it can add some serious of pop to your outfit; garnering the attention of anyone around you.
The little things.
Hope you brought your scuba gear, because we’re going in deep. With your suit separates your combinations play a large part in your final look. The small variations make all the difference, similar to a groom’s suit compared to the rest of guys in the bridal party. Your lapel and lapel hole, the interlining, whether your shoulders are padded or if your suit is slim fitted. These details seem tiny and insignificant but they can be the difference between you being a look-alike, a ‘look at him’ or a laughing stock.
Wrap Up.
Each part of your suit plays an important role. Your jacket, pants and waistcoat all have parts to play in making you look great. The smaller parts help the bigger parts to their job. So are you going to give them a hand by choosing fashionably and wisely?
