Hello lads gents and soon to be gents today we are talking about somthing important which is
It’s quite simple really. All you need to do is check that they cover half of the shoe at the back. Ankle swingers aren’t the best look and neither are trousers that drag along the floor so by checking that they come down to the right place on your shoe, your trousers will be the perfect length.
Now that you know how to get the length of your trousers right, it’s time to move onto your shirt. There’s a bit more to this so take careful note. Firstly, the sleeve cuff should cover the wrist reaching the bottom of the thumb and when worn with a jacket, you should be able to see at least half an inch of shirt cuff below the jacket wrist. Added onto that, the tips of the collar should sit against the body of the shirt. Lastly, always remember that a good quality shirt will last many washes, often getting better over time so choose wisely.
HOW TO DRESS PART 2
1. Get the correct suit size (know your measurements)
Before you purchase a suit, it’s very important to measure yourself to ensure that it fits you perfectly. You must make sure that the jackets’ shoulders are neither too big nor too small, and that the sleeves are comfortable for you when you lift your arms up (too tight and it puts undue pressure on the seams) No one wants a jacket that’s too long or too short for them, do they? You can avoid this by doing the following things when you try it on; start by relaxing your arms down by your side, then curl your fingers round the hem , the jacket should come to rest right in the crevice your fingers have made. You’ll know that the jacket is too long if it bunches up and too short if it doesn’t reach the crevice.
2. Wear your suit and don’t let it wear you
Having your pockets bulging with too many bulky items distorts the fabrics and puts unnecessary wear on your suit. This isn’t a good look if you’re trying to dress like a gentleman as it takes away the style and class. We’re not saying that you need to leave your valuables at home as that would be ridiculous, but it’s all about knowing where to store it all. Take any unnecessary items out of your wallet to make it thinner and then place it in one of your breast pockets. Your mobile phone can go in the other breast pocket and any other small items such as keys can go in your inside pockets. Don’t carry unnecessary keys as these can be really bulky. Whatever you do, don’t let your suit wear you!
3. Jacket buttons
Do you get confused about which buttons you should do up and which ones you should leave undone on your jacket? Doing the wrong buttons up is an easy mistake to make so we are going to put an end to the mix-up for you now. If your jacket has three buttons, the middle one should always be buttoned up and the bottom one should never be buttoned up. The top one doesn’t have to be done up but we advise that you do. However, if your jacket has two buttons, you must wear only the top button done up. Finally only unbutton it when you sit down.
4. Get the length of your trouser just right
It’s quite simple really. All you need to do is check that they cover half of the shoe at the back. Ankle swingers aren’t the best look and neither are trousers that drag along the floor so by checking that they come down to the right place on your shoe, your trousers will be the perfect length.5.
