Tom Hiddleston at the People’s Choice Awards this year!

#ToplinerThursdays

How can someone not say the British actor’s suit looked dapper? Definitely, they looked dapper and stole the show. The gray color might look usual to many, but as a whole, the suit was distinctively styled with fabric selection and tailoring specifications. The most eye-catching elements in his ensemble were the matching ‘Glen-check’ necktie, the contrasting black buttons, and the flap-type pocket squares.

Drop in the comments about his contrasting dark shoes!

One of the chic formal choices for men is this 100% wool-made glen plaid suit! It is a three-piece gray glen-checkered suit with blue plaid. The blazer has lapel collars and patch pockets. The waistcoat is collarless and has four buttons. The trousers are tapered and give a slightly slim-fit look. The buttons on the suit set and the necktie are brown to contrast the gray base. The white button-down shirt greatly complements the suit and the accessories.

Cable-knitted sweaters for men

#TeachingsTuesdays

We know knitted sweaters are useful and appropriate for fall and winter days. How about cable-knit sweaters? Truly, they are a style statement in cold weather. As layering becomes important, so do these stylish cable knits. They are uniquely textured to give different knit patterns. Functionality-wise, they provide great insulation.

When layered on your shirts, they give a smart casual look. On the contrary, when layered underneath, they are less visible and thus considered neutral.

“Style is when they’re running you out of town and you make it look like you’re leading the parade.” —William Battie.

#MotivationalMondays

By this quote, the author conveys that style isn’t just about appearance or aesthetics. It can influence your confidence levels, state of mind, and, in fact, your decisions. For example, when you style and present yourself right, even in difficult times or critical phases of life or profession, you get positivity, self-confidence, and the strength to face unfavorable situations. 

So, for you to become successful and gain positivity and confidence through your dressing style or attire, do learn to style your suits the right way.

Best Fabrics for Autumn Wedding Suits

Refreshing the closet for every changing season is a big task for men. From blazers to trousers, shirts to pocket square clothes, each one had to be validated against the fall weather and accordingly, new purchases ought to be made. 

Any suit fabric that’s heavy and thick and promotes warmth suits autumn. And this is different from what you wore in the summer a few weeks ago, like cotton and linen—lightweight, soft, and vented. 

Autumn-friendly Fabrics

Autumn, a transition from summer to winter, brings a cool breeze. And for every cold weather, the major suit fabric that best matches is ‘Wool’. Typically, fabrics made of 100% wool are most preferred. There are different types of wool based on the sources, like:

  • Mohair wool (From Angora goats)
  • Virgin wool (From Lamb’s first shearing)
  • Cashmere wool (From Kashmir goats)
  • Alpaca wool (From Alpaca sheep)

The blend, woven, knitted, or spun woolen fabrics appropriate for men’s suits in the fall include:

  • Wool flannel: The main characteristics of flannel fabrics are softness, textures, and the base material (originally, wool). Today, synthetic fibers and cotton are used for making flannel apparel instead of wool.   
  • Boiled wool: As the name implies, this wool is boiled after the knitting process. This boiling gives more insulation and makes it much softer. 
  • Worsted wool: These fabrics are made of high-quality short wool fibers that give high insulation against the slowly progressing cold weather.  
  • Carded wool (Tweed): This type of wool is passed through either a carding machine or hand before spinning. In general, hand-carded wool fibers give more warmth than worsted wool fibers. 
  • Wool fleece: In this fabric, fleece and wool are blended, knitted, and brushed to give a snug feeling to the wearer. 

Autumn Wedding Suits—Best Fabrics and Patterns

For autumn weddings, be it the groom, groomsmen, or the groom’s father, everyone prefers wool, flannel, silk, and velvet fabrics. It all depends on the venue and how grand the wedding celebration is. While silk and velvet are preferred for the most grand occasions, a normal wool or flannel is suited for a simple and casual occasion. The level of insulation is more or less the same with all these fabrics. However, you can add or remove layers.

When it comes to patterns on autumn fabrics, plaid, herringbone, and houndstooth are the show stealers. Here are some of the best recommendations for fall wedding suits:

  1. A windowpane checkered three-piece suit made of tweed fabric. The suit color is cloud gray and the necktie color is smoke gray for the contrast with the white dress shirt and the light gray suit.  
  2. An olive green plaid 100% wool three-piece suit with contrasting orange necktie and pocket square. 
  3. A two-piece suit made in ocean blue and with flannel fabric. The necktie is light in hues to subtly complement the ocean blue suit. 
  4. A tri-color suit in three pieces: the blazer and the trousers are in light gray silk. The waistcoat is also silk, but navy blue. The necktie and the pocket square are in chocolate brown.
  5. A burgundy herringbone tuxedo with black silky shawl lapels. The dress shirt is also black to match the lapels and the bow tie.

Styling with flannel shirts this fall

#FreestyleFridays

Of course, flannel shirts are a timeless choice in the fall. Indeed, the hues and plaids on flannel shirts are plentiful and it becomes difficult for every man to buy only a few of them. 

You can wear any checkered or plaid flannel shirt with a plain jacket or blazer and a matching pair of trousers. This gives you a perfect fall casual style. Moreover, adding minimal accessories and keeping it tieless completes the outfit.

The blazer has peak lapels and flap front pockets. The waistcoat is particularly double-breasted and has a shawl collar.  The suit trousers are slightly pleated and tapered down the hem. The checkered shirt and the plain necktie blend well with this elegant business suit.

Roll-neck sweaters for autumn!

#TeachingsTuesdays

Most men confuse between a roll-neck and a turtleneck sweater. They all might look the same when glanced at, but when paid attention to detail, they all look different. Roll-neck sweaters are knitted wool with rolled-down neck collars towards the torso. On the other hand, turtleneck sweaters are less chunky and thin than the former ones. Also, the latter gives a tight fit to the neck. Irrespective, both are ideal for fall and winter layers.

Is black his favorite?

#ToplinerThursdays

We often see the singer, songwriter, and record producer Marcus Mumford in black—perhaps it should be his favorite color. Anyway, did you admire his ensemble at the Oscars Awards 2024? It was a multi-layered outfit with an extra-long coat, lapelled waistcoat, shirt, and necktie. The overcoat’s lapels were wide and notch-type. The waistcoat lapel, shirt, and necktie were in satin silk, adding some glossiness to the ensemble.   

Wait! Did you also notice his tinted glasses and jewelry on his right ear?
