Shopping for a men’s suit looks easy for some and messy for the rest. Men end up shopping for the wrong suit for themselves because they don’t understand the suit’s language or style. Moreover, they presume all suits go well with all men and their silhouettes. But that’s not true. We know it is hard to accept, but do it. 

Listed below are some common mistakes that men make while purchasing a suit

1. Failing to check what fabric the suit is made of

Often, men fail to check what fabric their suit is made of and end up with discomfort or mismatched styles. Fabrics are as significant as the suit style as they play a vital role in deciding the ventilation, the construction of your suit, the seasonal look, and most importantly, the comfort. 

For example, 100% woolen suits are perfect for winter—they provide insulation, keep you warm, and look premium. On the other hand, cotton or linen suits in summer work much better—they help with air circulation, ensure coolness, and look naturally structured. 

2. Assuming standard suits are better than custom suits

Men who haven’t tried custom suits yet would always feel that ready-to-wear suits are better. Because they’re used to standard-sized suits and their tiny alterations. However, when they try custom suits at least once, they will never return to standard suits again. That’s the comfort and structure that custom suits can give. 

Honestly, no ready-made suit can give the comfort and silhouette of a made-to-measure custom suit. Most men comment that they don’t feel like wearing suits when custom-tailored. 

3. Missing the gap between the lapels and the shirt collar 

This is one important aspect that many of them miss out on while shopping for ready-made suits from shops. Ideally, there shouldn’t be any noticeable gap or distance between the suit’s lapels and the dress shirt’s collar. So, while trying out new suits, ensure there isn’t any gap between them, meaning the suits are not tailored with proper or even standard measurements.  

4. Buying too long or too short suits (sleeves and trousers)

Suits ought to be worn right with the right proportions, lengths, and balances. Otherwise, they don’t look like suits. Wearing suits for namesake will not help you improve your suit style or dressing sense. So, first, learn the right length for sleeves and trousers in suits, and second, ensure they are perfectly tailored to your suit. 

For any blazer or jacket, the sleeve must cover your wrist and slightly reveal the dress shirt’s cuffs without covering the wrist bone. The trousers must sit on top of the shoes and can have minimal quarter break.  

5. Standing stiff while taking measurements

Of course, made-to-measure suits look awesome. But only when measured and tailored right. So, neither stand too stiff nor too relaxed while taking your measurements. You have to closely follow the instructions of the bespoke suit designer and give the perfect measurements so that you get the best silhouette and comfort while wearing it. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose of wearing custom suits over regular suits.   

Conclusion

Besides these common mistakes, there are a lot more like overlooking the balance and proportions, giving importance to the brand more than the style, choosing the worst color combinations, etc. So, start learning the basics of suiting, and that would help with a minimally refined suit style for yourself.

Summer is about to shine, but how about your wardrobe? Honestly, shopping for men’s summer suits can feel challenging in the beginning. However, if you’re aware of a few tips and summer suit rules, buying one can’t get any easier. Perhaps, after leafing through this whole article, you might feel “Had I known these tips earlier, shopping for my summer wardrobe could have been at ease and in style.”

Men’s Summer Suit Rules You Must Know Before Buying

1. Suit fabric

Lightweight suit fabrics made of natural fibers are the best choice for summer suits as they allow for more ventilation, stay soft on the skin, feel like a feather, and most importantly, keep you cool even though the weather is warm in summer. 

Cotton and linen are great for smart formal, or casual occasions. Choosing a formal color and styling with formal accessories ensures the look is formal. On the other hand, choosing a bold color and styling with informal accessories ensures the look is casual. Natural fiber-made silk is the right pick for wedding or special occasion suits.  

2. Suit lining 

This is the most significant part of a man’s summer suit, as the type of lining material and the coverage it gives matter the most. Most suit lining is made of viscose fabric, which is semi-synthetic. Replace this with summer-friendly materials like cotton, rayon, or silk fabrics. 

Full lining is not essential as it can make the suit heavier and feel tighter or suffocating. Half lining can feel great, light, and ventilated. Lately, designers have clung to the quarter lining, which is also a great option. Wait, another better choice is ‘no’ coverage, meaning unlined suits. They are perfect, but do not give the structure or silhouette a lined suit gives. So, choose as per the theme, the occasion, or the level of formalness.      

3. The fit of the suit

Be it skinny or relaxed, the fit is all based on the event. However, if you’ve chosen half-lining with cotton fabric for your suit, even a skinny fit can keep you ventilated. Besides, relaxed fit suits are always relaxed and well aerated with more room for air to pass through, so even when you keep it full-lined with soft and natural fabrics, no worries. However, do not try the other way—skinny suit with synthetic full-lining. 

4. Suit color

Every year, industry experts give you a summer suit color palette that is summer-friendly and appealing enough to make hot days feel soothing and lighter. The palette has both regular tones and bold tones.

For example, tan brown, light charcoal, and beige are natural shades that suit men with regular styles. For men with bold ideas, shades like teal, chocolate brown, cobalt blue, dark blackish navy, sun orange, etc, can do wonders. 

Tips for Buying Summer Suits

1. Other than pure cotton or linen, you can go for blended fabrics like cotton elastane, cotton linen, etc. However, ensure the blend percentage is less than 10% and cotton is at least 90% to feel comfortable under the hot sun. 
2. If you’re someone with bold choices, colors don’t matter. Still, you can check for air conditioning at the venue before you choose bold and dark colors for the event. 
3. Of course, no fit can match a tailored suit. Yet you can find the best close match for your measurements in the shops.   
4. You can choose between casual jackets and smart formal blazers, provided you are confident in your presentability and balance.

There is that thin line of difference that every man ought to understand when it comes to wearing suit jackets (alone) without the matching suit trousers and still keeping them smart and formal enough for the occasion. Ideally, a sports coat does the job great, but not all suit jackets or blazers can become a sports coat.

So, here is the quick checklist you can rely upon to check whether or not the jacket you’ve chosen qualifies to be worn as a separate element in your ensemble or counted as a sports jacket.  

Checklist for wearing a separate suit jacket  

1. The weave of the fabric

The perfectly tailored suits with the matching blazers and trousers are often made of fine and smooth weaves. For example, super wool and twill fabrics. These types of woven fabrics are not suitable for separates. 

Instead, choose a different weave or textured suit fabrics like flannel, corduroy, linen, tweed, etc. that can stand alone as separates and can match any trouser or denim pants. Even matching them with another tailor-made pair of trousers would work perfectly and complete the look. In other words, if your jacket features rough, textured, and more visible weaves, it qualifies as a sport coat or separate jacket. 

2. The jacket color

Certainly, the more formal the colors are, the less suitable the jackets are for separates. Thus, choosing a navy or charcoal jacket needs matching trousers. Whereas, when you go for alternate and unique colors like olive, cherry wood, mustard, nude, etc., you can pair them with any trousers. Thus, they are considered the best choices for separates.   

3. The pattern on the jacket

The fine patterns on professional suits like pinstripes, chalkstripes, graph checks, glen checks, etc., are more formally inclined and do not feature the characteristics of a sport coat. The separately worn sports coat features loud, bold, and larger patterns like window pane plaids, buffalo checks, houndstooth, awning stripes, etc., and is considered less formal. This makes it ideal to become a sports jacket and thus can be worn on its own.      

4. The buttons 

In general, a formal blazer or a suit jacket features at least four buttons on the sleeves. This clarifies that any such jacket does not qualify for a sports coat. So, pick a suit jacket with three or fewer buttons on the sleeves that looks casual and like a sports coat.

5. The pockets 

As everyone knows, the flap is the most common type of front pocket on professional or formal suits. So, do not choose them for separates. Alternatively, pick suits with patch pockets. They are less formal and more casual, thus it is easier to convert into a stand-alone coat.  

6. The tailored silhouette 

Undoubtedly, the structure of the suit decides the formality of the attire. The more structured and heavily padded blazers look stiffer and formal than minimally structured and padded blazers. Thus, choose a suit jacket tailored with the most relaxed fit, slight padding, and slacked silhouettes. This ensures they can pair with any pair of trousers without the need for regular matching trousers.

While the spring temperatures can vary in the range of 30s to 60s, the layering primarily depends on your region. The northern states experience colder temperatures than the southern states. So, accordingly, men can alter their layering options. 

Layering for a colder spring

1. 3-layer principle

As the temperatures are colder, you need a three-layer suiting with a breathable and moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating middle layer, and a lightweight outer layer. 

While the early spring can be more freezing with the winter transition, the three-layer can sometimes not suffice, and a four-layer can be chosen. However, as the temperature gradually increases, you can cut down the layers.  

2. Loose or relaxed fit layers

Irrespective of the layer—base, middle, or outer, ensure your layers are relaxed and do not have a slim fit. Wearing loose clothing can keep your body airy and ventilated. On the other hand, wearing slim-fit shirts or blazers in spring can build up heat and make you sweat more despite the colder weather. 

3. Breathable fabrics

Every layer in spring must be breathable, leaving more room for air circulation. Fabrics like linen and wool are the best choices for a colder spring. Particularly, a linen undershirt or dress shirt paired with a woolen sweater or cardigan makes the best layering for spring. 

4. An insulating layer

The insulating layer can be anything like a vest, cardigan, or blazer. When you wear an ordinary vest-type middle layer, you can choose a woolen jacket. Otherwise, you can go for a cardigan-type middle layer with an ordinary suit jacket or blazer. The choice is all yours!

5. Lightweight layers

As we’re adding more layers for a colder spring, it is better to keep all of them light in weight so that you don’t feel heavy about your layers. Wearing one heavy layer can make you feel tired, heavy, and sticky. Thus, ensure every layer of your spring suit is made of lightweight fabrics and is breathable.

Layering for a warmer spring

Except for the number of layers, the rest of the colder spring layering options also work for warmer springs. In other words, the three-layer principle is reduced to a two-layer principle to accustom to warmer temperatures, and the rest remains the same—breathable fabrics, insulating layer (middle or outer layer), and lightweight layers. 

Best men’s suit layering choices for spring

1. A versatile beige suit 

As light colors work better than dark colors in spring, it is always better to have one light-hued suit and matching trousers, like beige, ivory, or light stone. You can pair this suit with any contrasting dress shirt and create multiple spring looks with utmost elegance.  

2. A floral shirt to match any dark blazer

Of course, floral shirts are needless to mention! Having a light-hued floral shirt can help you style it with many solid suits. 

3. Seersucker—the attractive choice

Though linen and wool are the best choices, seer sucker can be counted for special occasions like an important event or occasion. It is a lightweight cotton fabric that is breathable and ventilating. Most importantly, it gives a new, stylish look, replacing your regular suiting style.    

4. The best fitting—tailored or made-to-measure

Standard-sized spring suits can either be looser or way too uncomfortably snug. So, ensure you tailor one or two spring suits to your body measurements. This gives the perfect relaxed look without compromising on your silhouette.

Well, you may be wrong if you think wearing a black suit matches all sets of events or occasions. Each occasion demands a dress code when it comes to men’s suits. You cannot wear the same suit for a formal, a black tie, and a casual event. 

So, in this article, you’ll briefly understand the dress code of black tie and formal attire. Also, learn the main differences between these two types of attire which helps you dress up in the right style for the right occasion.

The Black tie dress code

This is a much-specified dress code that applies to the most formal, sophisticated, and refined events, like operas, formal weddings, galas, and proms. As mentioned earlier, this is a specified dress code that involves only black suits or tuxedos—to symbolize grace, elegance, and style. Even a common man can look like the most reputable gentleman among the crowd when wearing a black tie tuxedo. 

Thus, fashionistas call this not just a dress code but the rule to becoming a sophisticated man in the perfect style. 

Decoding the black tie attire

1. Black bow tie: A satin or silk-made black bow tie is the main part of the black tie dress code.
2. Black jacket and trousers: A black jacket with black silk lapels and matching tuxedo trousers (preferably in silk). 
3. White dress shirt: The white dress shirt that contrasts the black tux is another significant element in this refined ensemble.
4. Black shoes: Ideally, black patent leather shoes for a more refined aesthetic.
5. Black socks: A pair of socks—again in black—that mandatorily covers the skin and that blends with the tuxedo trousers.
6. White pocket squares: This is to contrast the black tuxedo and complement the white dress shirt. 

The general formal dress code

This is a dress code that applies to all formal events, including professional meetups, business events, and conferences. Unlike the black-tie dress code, this is not specified in black. Instead, this includes generic formal colors, like navy, gray, black, and charcoal. Most importantly, it does not demand a black bow tie. 

Though these suits are also elegant and reserved, they are not as sophisticated as black tue suits or attires. However, both these styles are timeless formal wear—the only difference lies in the degree of formalness. 

Decoding the formal attire

1. Formal jackets and trousers: Formal suits—not necessarily in black, but any formal hues—navy, charcoal, or graphite gray, etc.  
2. White or light blue dress shirts: A dress shirt that complements or contrasts the color of the suit in the most subtle way.  
3. A necktie: A solid or printed necktie matching the two or three-piece ensemble.
4. Oxford shoes: Sleek formal shoes, loafers, or brogues work well with any kind of formal suit and tuxedo.  
5. Matching accessories: Cufflinks, pocket squares, socks, watches, and belts that look professional and dignified.

Black tie Vs formal men’s attire

In simple words—black-tie attire requires a black tuxedo, a black bowtie, and a white dress shirt. On the other hand, formal attire requires no specific colors but looks entirely formal. 

Conclusion

Wearing the right style for the right occasion without compromising the dress code matters the most to elevating your self-confidence levels and seeking attention and respect from your audience. 

Tailor a classic black tie and business formal suit for your finest occasions with the help of the leading men’s couture in the state—Bucco!

As the leading men’s bespoke suit designer, Bucco Couture takes pride in decoding the best-dressed men on the red carpets of the prestigious 2025 Oscar—the 97th Academy Awards. 

Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to see men coming in vibrant hues like how women choose their gowns.

So, here are ten hand-picked choices from the red carpet that are unique in look and suit style. 

1. Jeremy Strong

What a color! Whoa! Kudos to Jeremy for choosing the Olive-like army green instead of his usual brown suits. The tuxedo from Loro Piana had contrasting silky peak lapels and the way he chose to tie the bowtie was exceptional.   

2. Colman Domingo

Perhaps, he knew that he would grab the best actor nomination and thus ended up in a red carpet matching red Valentino suit. The double-breasted rose-red blazer and the contrasting black trousers and lapels were undoubtedly impressive.   

3. Adrien Brody

Getting nominated at the Oscars after a decade is something special. Thus, the versatile actor chose a custom-tailored suit from Giorgio Armani. A simple traditional blazer, a white shirt, and a black bowtie. The detail lies in the feather-like brooch made of diamonds and emeralds.

4. Timothée Chalamet

Isn’t it a bold choice? Yes, the butter-yellow suit style was marvelous and bold. But what’s more important was it was balanced and styled right. Designed by Taylor McNeill, the suit featured double breasts, long sleeves, and a matching dress shirt. 

5. Andrew Garfield

As the presenter of the Oscars, he was remarkable when it came to the red carpet. He wore a chocolate brown suit from Gucci with a matching satin silk shirt. Overall, the tieless look was refreshing, the color was uncommon, and the style was made-to-measure.

6. Sterling K. Brown

Why not make the conventional white suit into modern elegance? That’s how Sterling K. Brown appeared on the Oscars red carpet. The Giorgio Armani suit featured a white tuxedo jacket, black trousers, and a black bow tie. A perfect silhouette in a perfect style!  

7. Sebastian Stan

Looks like all the best actor nominations stole the show this year on the red carpet. But do you think Sebastian was on the list? According to us, though his suit looked quite vintaged initially, later we felt it was special and subtle. 

8. Conan O’Brien

When everyone saw his gig talent to host the Oscars without deviating from the template, we saw his suit style. Again a traditional suit but with perfect tailoring and chic design—just a black blazer, black trousers, a white shirt, and a black bowtie.     

9. Mark Ivanir

Certainly, one of the few men with a unique touch on the fabric! The peacock blue velvet style was indeed invigorating. The tuxedo was tailored top-notch and styled right with a white shirt, a black bowtie, and a contrasting orange pocket square.  

10. Jon M. Chu

One of the few directors who was on the list of best-dressed men at the Oscars this year! What was not special in his style—the emerald green color, the contrasting silk lapel, the glittering fabric, the side patch on the trousers, the bowtie, the watch, and almost everything.

Loafers for men are a great option in shoes for formal and casual suits. In fact, they are the most comfiest and stylish pair of shoes you can ever choose for suits when trying something new and unconventional. Still, a couple of standard practices ought to be followed and there is a limit to styling them for fashion and trendsetting.     

How to style loafers with a formal suit?

Classic leather loafers in black or brown work well with formal suits. To keep the look simple and professional, try sticking to these formal colors and minimal designs. Also, avoid loafers with tassels, embellishments, or decorations when wearing a formal suit.    

How to style loafers with a casual suit?

Loafers in black, brown, or casual color work well with casual, unstructured suits. And limited detailing, like tassels or cuts, is allowed to encourage new causal styles. 

The Do’s and Don’ts of loafers with suits in general

1. Socks must match the trousers.

Wearing socks of the same color as the suit trousers ensures the emphasis on loafers instead of socks. Of course, when you’re styling out of the box, contrast colors work. Otherwise, wearing the same color is best for formal or smart casual styles. Even mildly patterned socks work with solid trousers and vice versa.  

2. Loafers must match the belt.  

While the socks match the trousers, the loafers must match the belt or the suit accessories. This balances all the accessories except for the suit clothing. However, there can be slight variations in terms of analog colors, style elements, cuts, leather textures, etc. 

3. Avoid wearing too long or baggy trousers.

Wearing long trousers covers the loafers and there is no point wearing them with the suits. Also, baggy trousers and sleek loafers do not go hand-in-hand and might look mismatched. Thus, wearing the right fit suit trousers with the right socks shade and right loafer style is significant. 

4. Calfskin loafers are preferably formal.

Calfskin loafers made of calf-hidden skin are perfect for formal suits and occasions. These loafers are soft, durable, and hence, are suitable for business suits. However, even calfskin loafer shoes can get casual when tassels are attached or horse-bit adorned.     

5. Avoid wearing loafers without socks.

Wearing loafers without socks does not do justice to the suit and the trousers. On the other hand, bare ankles ineptly contrast the loafers and the trousers. According to the sartorial experts, this looks like a fashion faux pas that can never be accepted.

6. Brown loafers are accepted as a versatile choice.

Fashionistas accept brown loafer shoes as a versatile choice because they match formal and informal suits. For example, these loafers suit formal black or navy suits. Also, they pair well with casual light-hued suits, like beige or light gray. Moreover, choosing a dark brown loafer will not lead to style or color clashing to a greater extent.

Conclusion

Wearing loafers with suits is a great choice for men provided the right color, style, texture, and size is chosen. Get expert guidance when dressing up the next time—reach out to Bucco Couture, the state’s leading men’s bespoke suit designers.

Of course, every suit for men can become a style statement when the dress or tuxedo shirt is chosen right. While most men wonder if that’s more important for elevating a suit’s look, only some men understand its significance and pay enough attention to selecting them. 

Thus, this blog post aims to educate you on how to choose the right dress shirt that befits your suit.

1. Picking the right color tone

Color is the first factor that immediately conveys whether or not the dress shirt matches the jacket, blazer, or overcoat. Always choose contrasting colored shirts for suits. For example, choose a lighter hue for a dark suit and a dark hue for a light suit. When this stands as a golden rule for formal or smart formal suits, you can play around with the dress shirt color when pairing a casual or informal jacket. 

However, these contrasts become meaningless for solid suits like black suits with black blazers, trousers, and dress shirts.  

2. Balancing the collar and necktie

Tailoring the dress shirt’s collar is as essential as customizing your suit jacket. It needn’t be loose nor tight enough to discomfort your neck. At the same time, the necktie has to rightly balance the collar. It is better to go for a basic collar style instead of sport or spread collar styles.

3. Choosing the fabric

As fabric plays an important role in giving the best comfort for the body, choosing the right material for your dress shirt decides your comfort levels through the occasion or the event. 

Choose a lightweight, cotton-like, or similar natural-fiber-made shirt for summer. On the other hand, go for thick, heavy-weight, and wool-made shirts for winter. 

4. Choosing the fit

Standard-sized dress shirts are easy to buy but do not give the best fit that adapts to your torso or the suit. Pathetically, most ready-to-wear dress shirts are either too small or too long which creates tucking problems. Hence, it is the best choice to tailor a made-to-measure dress shirt that has the perfect structure and fit. 

Moreover, tailored suits must pair with tailored dress shirts. You cannot tailor one and choose another to be standard-sized. Reach out to the state’s leading bespoke and custom-suit designers—Bucco Couture!

5. Measuring the right length 

The length of the shirt and its sleeves are significant to pairing it with the suit blazers. Irrespective of formal or casual suits, all dress shirts need to be tucked into the trousers or the pants. Thus, measure the right length so that it rightly gets tucked. Also, ensuring the right sleeve length enhances the look of the suit and stops at your wrist. 

6. Ensuring symmetrical plackets

Plackets and button placement are crucial for aesthetics when the suit is unfastened or unbuttoned. The button placement on the placket can be checked along with whether or not the plackets are narrow, straight, or symmetrical. When any of this goes wrong, the overall look of the suit gets a big hit and becomes a black mark in the sartorial excellence of your suit designer.

Jeans are denim-made pants that can be counted as casual or informal bottom wear. Most men mistake jeans for any suit or blazer that they own in their closet. Certainly, that is not the fact. The hard truth is that not all suit jackets or blazers match jeans. Only sports coats and blazers are best suitable giving a perfect casual, informal, or semi-formal look.  

Now that we know what type of suit jackets to wear—preferably, sports overcoats or jackets with single or double breasts and two or three-buttoned—let’s get into jeans fitting and the right occasions. 

1. Regular-fit jeans 

Regular or quite loose jeans can be chosen for semi-formal occasions or events. For example, regular blue or black denim jeans work perfectly for a casual office day on a Thursday, Friday, or during the weekend.  

2. Baggy jeans 

Baggy jeans are undoubtedly too casual and hence preferred only for most informal or casual occasions, like parties, get-to-gather events, etc. Since this gets way too informal, the color of the jeans does not matter here. Only ensure that it matches or pairs the color of the sports suit jacket chosen.

3. Skinny-fit jeans 

Skinny jeans are trendsetters of this decade and men can choose them for occasions that need the expression of personal styles. It could be a shopping mall or grocery store, you can choose and slay it as you like.  

Suit jackets and jeans are separately sorted. Next, let’s quickly understand how men can pair different kinds of suit jackets with different kinds of jeans.  

How do you pair jeans with suit jackets?

Traditional semi-formal suit jackets can be paired with jeans for business casual occasions. However, ensure two things—color and fit. The jeans can be dark blue, indigo, or black. The suit jacket can be contrasting but not have the same hue as the jeans. With fit, both have to be either relaxed or regular and definitely not tight or skinny fit.  

On the other hand, for informal occasions, you can choose a sports jacket with custom prints, patterns, or details and wear contrasting jeans. Wearing light blue baggy denim jeans with a dark-hued suit works for these occasions.     

Apart from the color and fit for specific occasions, there are other factors that you may have to consider to get a perfect jacket and jeans style.    

Other factors to consider when pairing jackets with jeans

1. Suit pattern: More than conventional solid jackets, those with slight patterns, embroideries, patchwork, or designs enhance the overall look and style when paired with right-colored jeans.  
2. A Shirt or Tee: Choosing between a dress shirt or a tee depends on the theme or the occasion. While the former suits semi-formal or business-formal occasions, the latter suits casual occasions. 
3. Tie and pocket square: A necktie and a pocket square on your suit jacket make it look too formal or professional. In this case, wearing jeans with them becomes meaningless. So, ensure the suit jackets do not have them and look casual and relaxed. 

Type of jackets: Jeans pair better with single-breasted suit jackets than double-breasted. Also, wearing a lightweight jacket emphasizes casualness more than a heavy-weight or highly structured jacket.

If you’re a man bored of ready-made suits, or if you’re a professional looking to present yourself in a better style, it is high time that you think of bespoke suits. Bespoke suits are custom-made-to-measure suits that perfectly fit your body and last longer than regular ready-to-wear suits. Not only for these subgroups of men but for every man a custom suit is needed. 

This blog post clearly explains the major reasons why every man needs a custom suit in his wardrobe.  

1. Results in the best silhouette.

Unlike ready-to-wear suits, bespoke suits are tailored to your body measurements. So, they help get one of the best-structured suits that perfectly adapt to your physique. If not for regular use, men can try this kind of custom suits for their special occasions, like weddings, corporate events, etc.      

2. Custom specifications are possible. 

With custom suits, you can customize anything that you want in a suit. From deciding the breasts to buttons, pleats to canvas, fabric to color selection, seam style to shirt height, everything is personalized to your taste and preferences. Of course, you cannot get one ready-made suit that interests or satisfies you 100%. 

Thus, owning one or more custom suits helps you feel special and satisfied as every detail is tailored and crafted as per your wish.  

3. Gives confidence and motivation.

As you all are aware of the famous quotes like “Style is a way to express yourself without having to speak,” and “Clothes can transform your mood and confidence,” no justification is needed. If you’re happy with what you wear and your style, it motivates you from the inside and increases your confidence levels to handle anything that comes to you. Moreover, there is no room for fear. 

4. Comfortable from inside and outside. 

After all, men wear suits not just to demonstrate their style but to feel comfortable. When compared to ready-made suits, custom suits give more comfort as they rightly fit your physical figure. Even when worn throughout a long day, custom suits never leave you tired. You will feel cozy until the last minute without feeling to change to casual clothing or apparel.   

Besides the bodily comfort, bespoke suits keep you comfortable from the outside as well as give you enough confidence, and motivation, and keep you energetic.    

5. Serves as a unique style statement.

Every custom suit is uniquely tailored and has fewer specifications in common like the number of buttons, fit, and length. Otherwise, you can customize the lapel style, pocket type, padding levels, sartorial additions like embellishments, embroidery, patchwork, etc. 

Certainly, you can even choose the color of the thread for your suit and style it as distinguished as possible.   

Conclusion

Now that you know the significant benefits of having custom suits in your closet, forget to buy a standard suit and invest time, money, and effort in alterations. Instead, invest in a custom-tailored suit and style yourself up with more confidence and energy. Remember, every penny you spend on a bespoke suit is worth it.

Undoubtedly, Italian suits are the epitome of sophisticated and modern men’s wear. They carry distinctive elements, like the Italian tradition, state-of-the-art elegance, sartorial innovation, minute detailing, and ultimate comfort. Together these elements differentiate these Italian suits from American and British suit styles.  

How have Italian suit styles evolved?

It all began after the Second World War (1940s) wherein three cities selectively contributed to the art of tailoring suits with a unique Italian flair. The first one is Milan that’s known for minimalistic formal or semi-formal elegant suits. The second one is Naples that’s known for comfy and relaxed suits. The third one is Rome that’s known for the blend of the first two. 

Later in the 1960s, these Italian styles spread all over the world making it the style statement when it comes to men’s suits. Thanks to Hollywood celebrities and business tycoons who featured them and made it an inspirational style for the rest of the world.   

The distinguishing features of Italian suits

1. Responsiveness to the physical body

The very specialty of Italian suits is that they help highlight the body features that need to be highlighted and hide those that need to be hidden. This makes these suits highly responsive to the man’s physical body giving a perfect structure. 

2. Higher armholes

Unlike American suits that have lower armholes, Italian suits have higher armholes. This makes the suit more relaxed, cozy, and streamlined with free hand movements. Thus, fashionistas call it the hallmark feature of Italian suits.      

3. A proportionate fit with the right silhouette

As mentioned earlier, Italian suits are cut and tailored with impeccable proportions. This ensures the suit befits the body measurements without hindering the movement and at the same time, looks incredibly flawless giving the right silhouette.  

4. Unpadded shoulders

Unpadded shoulders in Italian suits render a natural look to the men’s suit without creating stiffness or any sort of discomfort even when worn throughout the day. On the contrary, American suits feature heavy padding that gives an artificially structured look or silhouette.

5. Lightweight and luxury fabrics

Italian suits are made of lightweight fabrics like cashmere, linen, and silk. These are breathable fabrics allowing more room for ventilation. Also, these fabrics give a luxury or grandeur look when tailored and styled with the right accessories. Another advantage of these fabrics is that designers can create versatile styles without forgoing traditional Italian elegance.   

6. Intricate details

Take any Italian suit and they will have intricate details. Yes, Italian designers are adept at paying attention to tapestry intricacies. Hence, these suits are unique in style. It could be a simple button, cuff links, the trousers, the lapels, the vests, or the pocket squares.

Certainly, your inner self and your thoughts are more important than what others think of you. On that ground, confidence is something that you trust in yourself without bothering how others trust you, your potential, and your capabilities.  And you might have definitely heard at least once in your lifetime that dressing has a strong connection with confidence. Well, in this short piece of blog, let’s dig into the whats and whys of this belief that dressing well boosts your confidence.  

Firstly, is it scientifically proven?

In general, dressing is the way by which you tell people what you feel, what your mood is, and what you’re capable of. So, improving your dressing will automatically improve your expression. In line with that, researchers have done several studies and have found that your dressing has a significant association with self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. For instance, a particular study involved people wearing professional and casual attire. The results claim that professionally dressed people had more self-esteem than others who wore casual attire.   

In what ways dressing well helps boost confidence?

1. Increases positive thinking

When you make efforts to dress up well in the way think or want, you start getting a positive mindset and you will start feeling good about yourself. Be it right or wrong, it’s your decision to dress up the way you want, and thus, makes you feel better in whatever you do throughout the day.

2. Makes you presentable

As said earlier, dressing is a way of communication. Also, it is a basic etiquette in order to make you presentable in front of the public. Because people start observing and commenting on you as soon as they see you. Thus, dressing well creates a good impression of yourself in other’s minds. Consequently, you will also feel good about yourself with positivity.  

3. Improves psychological wellness

Psychologically, people are more connected to their dressing and style. When styled good, they feel confident. On the other hand, when the style goes wrong, they start feeling insecure, less confident, and sometimes, feel a lack of personality in them. It is all the brain signals that coordinate and work with the external and inner self. So, always dress well to positively influence your psychological wellness.    

4. Helps create a personal style

Once you start dressing up well every day, your confidence levels increase day-by-day, and it paves the way for creating a new style which in turn creates your personal style. Once your personal style is aligned with your thoughts and mood, over a period, it becomes a brand. This way, you can create your personal brand that stands out from the crowd.     

5. Brings self-satisfaction

Last but not least, self-satisfaction is what everyone is worried about and is running behind throughout their lives. Dressing well not only boosts confidence but also brings in self-satisfaction. Even in a simple dress shirt and a pair of matching trousers, one can attain self-confidence and self-satisfaction. It does not require expensive clothes from top-notch brands. You can dress well in an economical suit and build your confidence levels.      

Conclusion

When dressing well can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem, why not create your style? Instead of replicating other’s styles or outfits, try creating your own style that’s unique only to you. This can significantly improve your overall psychology resulting in increased confidence and trust in you!
