Did you know there are rules for buttoning suits?
Neither did I, but there is.
Luckily the rules are very simple to follow. Once you know, you’ll be looking around at the other guys to see if they’re breaking these rules.
So, what is the simple rule to buttoning a suit?
Whenever I smell a certain type of fragrance, one absolute colour comes to mind, purple.
When it comes to a purple fragrance, they are some which I really like. It seems like there are so many that you can categorise as purple, this is what it all means and what purple fragrances are the best.
Sports jacket, blazer and a suit jacket. What are the differences? Are they the same?
They do look similar, but there’s a few differences between the three smart tailored jackets that you might not know about, and that’s OK.
You probably have a suit, which comes with a smart jacket. If you want to dress smart without wearing the full thing, you might ask yourself:
Can you wear the suit jacket as a blazer?
So, let’s talk about these three jackets, all smart, but are all in fact different in a number of ways.
Here’s the differences between sports jackets, blazers and suits.
This week’s question: Can I Wear A Shirt And Tie Without A Jacket?
There may be occasions where you need to wear a tie, which also means pairing it with a shirt. When you do this, do you need to add a smart jacket, suit jacket or blazer to your outfit?
The short answer is no, you should not wear a shirt and tie without a jacket. A tie usually comes as part of a formal dress code which means wearing a suit jacket or blazer, so completes the outfit.
There is of course more to it than that, which is what I’ll explain below.
What colour shoes go with a navy suit?
I think there’s nothing better than a blue suit, in particular a navy blue suit. But some have asked the question about footwear, in particular the best colour to go with a blue suit.
There’s a few colours you can go for, and these are the best ones.
When it comes to buying a suit, the first question you’ll be asking yourself is:
What colour suit should I buy?
It’s a good question, and it can be hard to answer. If you’ve never bought a suit before you may feel intimidated by the sheer number of colours and shades which are available.
I’ve bought several suits over the years, as well as blazers and other formal wear.
If you’re looking to buy your first suit and wonder what colour it should be, here’s my tips for you.
If there’s one question that keeps getting asked time and time again about men’s fragrance it’s which fragrances and aftershaves last the longest? Which scents are the most powerful.
Well as you know, I’ve own a lot of scents and have lots of fragrance reviews. There’s plenty which are powerful and some which don’t last too long.
These are the strongest and most powerful fragrances, along with tips on how to find and identify long lasting fragrances before you buy them.
If dressing in your 20’s is all about discovering your own personality and style, your 30’s is about refining that. You should now know what works for you, and what you want your clothes to say about you.
It can be an odd time. You should have more income than ever before to spend on clothing, but then there’s real life expenses such as rent, mortgages, kids and other general expenses which tend to mount up.
The good news is that you should already have a pretty stacked wardrobe, and even if you don’t, you should be buying less, as you’ll be done with experimenting. More on that later.
You’re now no longer that young 20-something lad any more, but you’re far from your 40s and still feel quite youthful, so what do you wear?
There’s plenty of reasons why you want to dress better. From going out with your mates to looking good in the office or just getting your daily style right.
Whatever the reason, there’s lots of little style tips that can make you look your best, and it all starts with your wardrobe.
From getting the right fit to wearing the right clothes for the right occasion. Here’s how you can dress well.
It’s a phrase you’ve probably come across, whether it’s describing your office attire or the dress code listed on an event you’ve been invited to.
The smart casual dress code.
We all know what smart and formal is, and then we’ve got relaxed and casual styles, but what about something in the middle?
That is where smart casual dressing comes into play.
It’s a style which every man can master, and usually only requires items you’ll already find in your wardrobe.
