#ThrowbackThursdays
What wedding suit to choose now that I’ve thrown the challenge at you? Can we go a bit vintage, and choose a suit and matching waistcoat or jumper plus a button down and accessorize the look with shoes or boots? Well, it definitely doesn’t get better than this chic brown tweed three-piece suit paired with a white shirt, and accessorized with a burgundy velvet bow tie and a floral boutonniere.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY WEDDING – A TUXEDO OR SUIT? CAN YOU GUIDE ME?

The challenge is on. But fret not as we discuss shirts with button down collars this Wednesday. Button down collars are carefree, and easy on the go, while still looking elegant. You needn’t worry about your collar flying away on its own. Unlike spread collar shirts, button down collar shirts do well when the top placket button is undone. Button down collar shirts look natural for a more business-casual style, as they use a lighter lining in the collar and cuffs. They go perfectly well with relaxed fabrics like oxford or sateen.

The neck of a jacket can add to its style bringing volume and nobility. The inside of it can be made with a number of pieces and types of fabric, such that it does not turn watery or rigid. The styles of the flaps can be selected depending upon your constitution and height.

“Don’t limit your challenges. Challenge your limits.”
Take a challenge this week, and that’s to challenge yourself and get dressed to the nines. A tailored suit is a mark of exclusivity. By exclusivity we mean the character that something comes with which is unique in many ways, and that is designed or reserved specifically for someone or something. Now, throw the gauntlet, and go only for a custom-made suit.

Here’s a simple Morning suit comprising a single-breasted tailcoat and a vest (can be contrasting colors too), a high turn-down or wing collar with a suitable neckwear, and checked or striped trousers, though this can be a highly formal dress seen occasionally here in the US.

We are discussing the art of simplicity when it comes to dressing this week. Simple casual is defined when you wear a t-shirt (perhaps paired by a blazer) or even the right sneakers (usually solid colored and higher-end). A pressed t-shirt or a crisp pair of jeans can go well even with a tailored blazer. Dressing smart casual is an art: you know it when you see it. To be more precise, you know it when you feel it.

Disco clothing, like the ’70s, fused wide-ranging fashions together like no other movement had. In hot nightclubs in New York City or The Palace in Paris, dressing for a disco gave the chance to wear your personality, similar to a costume. With flashing lights, loud and boisterous music, and a spinning disco ball, chances for conversation were slim; therefore, the disco costume defined the fashion.

What is to dress business casual these days? While many classic business staples are used in business casual wear, there are casual elements incorporated like khakis. Men can wear simple business casual outfits like trousers, khakis, slacks, polos, button-downs or sport coats. Jackets and ties are optional but useful accessories. Business casual shoes include loafers, lifestyle sneakers (with canvas or leather), oxfords or boots.
CHANGE OF FORMAL TO SEMI-CASUAL WORK WEAR – WHAT HAS CHANGED?

What are the advantages of rolling up your sleeves? It’s great when the summers are on. Flatters your forearms—the more you reveal in a shirt, the easier it’s to notice your body silhouette. Done in a straight line, and combine with your military tuck, it will look highly fitted and stylish. Want to show off your biceps? Just roll your sleeves and get to work!

“Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.” — Oscar Wilde
Simplicity is the theme this week. This simple solid color lapel suit comes with single button. A classic wear by the way, its boasts a slim design and embodies your stature and glamour. It can be paired with most shirts and suit pants. Suitable as an everyday office wear.
I get this question every time from my clients. Let me explain without advocating things. The main physical difference between a suit and tuxedo is that tuxedos have satin details. Generally, tuxedos are built with satin facing on the lapels, pocket trim, buttons and satin strip that runs down the leg of the pants. Suits don’t come with satin, and typically feature plastic buttons or buttons characterized by the same fabric as that of the coat or self-buttons.
Tuxedos are traditionally accessorized with bow ties, a vest or cummerbund, whilst suits with a matching vest or long tie. I don’t say that suits cannot be worn with a bow tie or a tuxedo accessorized with a long tie. You may try if you wish. It’s simply the other way round which is more traditional and methodical. Of course, you can the break the rules based on the formality of the situation.
Now, coming to the question whether you should wear a tuxedo or suit for your wedding depends not necessarily on the physical differences but the message that a suit or tuxedo would want to convey.
It is your big day, and you are entitled to wear whatever you feel is right and however you want to. Not just you, your partner may probably feel the same way. But the truth is you can dress yourself a nice suit to a wedding and feel sharp and dressed up, and so do the attendees or guests. Besides, the same suit can turn into a work wear to feel organized and in control for the rest of the time. For your wedding, you’ll prefer to wear something that differentiates you from the crowd and your big day from the rest. That’s when a tuxedo really comes in more than handy.
