What are the requirements for wearing a suit?

Suits are more conventional business attire. However, there are some general rules that must be followed when wearing a suit. The following are for reference.

First, shoes and socks should match. There is an idiom that means "suit and leather shoes". It can be seen that when wearing a suit, you should wear leather shoes, and it is best to wear black leather shoes. It would be inappropriate to use cloth shoes, sandals, slippers, and travel shoes with a suit. When wearing a suit, it is best to wear black or other dark-colored socks.

Second, fasten the buttons. For buttoned suits, the buttons must be fully buttoned and cannot be left open. For a single-breasted two-button suit, you can only button the top button. For a single-row three-button suit, you can button only the top two buttons or only the middle button. It's wrong to button up a single-breasted suit all the way. When wearing a suit, there are certain ways to tie the buttons on your jacket, vest and trousers. Among the three, the method of tying the buttons on the coat is the most particular. - Generally speaking, when standing, especially after standing up in front of a large audience, the buttons of the suit jacket should be fastened to show solemnity. After sitting down, most of the buttons on the suit jacket should be unbuttoned to prevent them from being "twisted" and out of shape. Only when wearing a vest or woolen sweater underneath and a single-breasted top outside, you are allowed to stand without the buttons on the top.

Third, remove the trademarks on the sleeves. There is usually a trademark sewn on the cuff of the left sleeve of the suit jacket. Sometimes, there is also a pure wool logo sewn there. Don’t forget to remove your suits before putting them on. This approach is equivalent to announcing to the outside world that the suit has been activated. If a suit has been worn for a long time and the trademark on the sleeve remains in place, as if it was intended to show off, it will inevitably make people laugh.

Fourth, iron it and make it smooth. In order to make the suit you wear on yourself look beautiful and elegant, you must first make it look smooth and crisp, with straight lines. To achieve this, in addition to dry cleaning the suit regularly, it is also necessary to iron it carefully before each formal wear. Don't neglect this point, causing it to become wrinkled, dirty, and lose all its beauty, making it miserable to look at.

Generally, when fastening the buttons of a suit jacket, there are different specific methods for single-breasted jackets and double-breasted jackets. When buttoning a single-breasted two-button suit jacket, the rule is to "button it up but not down it", that is, only button the top button. When buttoning a single-breasted three-button suit jacket, there are two correct ways to do it: either only button the middle button, or button the top two buttons. When buttoning a double-breasted suit jacket, all buttons that can be buttoned must be buttoned.

When wearing a suit vest, whether worn alone or paired with a suit jacket, the buttons must be buttoned carefully and not allowed to open freely. Under normal circumstances, a suit vest can only be matched with a single-breasted suit top. It has more or less buttons, but it can generally be divided into two types: single-breasted and double-breasted. According to the dressing convention of suits, the bottom button of a single-breasted suit vest should be left unbuttoned, while all buttons of a double-breasted suit vest must be fastened without exception.

At present, some of the "checks" on the trouser door of trousers are buttons and some are zippers. - It is generally believed that the former is more orthodox, while the latter is more convenient to use. No matter how you "close" the trousers, you should always remind yourself to fasten all the buttons or pull the zipper carefully. When participating in important activities, you must check them quietly at any time, and the hooks on your trousers should also be hung up.

Fifth, either roll it up or pull it back. When wearing a suit, you must take good care of its original shape. In public places, never take off your suit jacket casually in public, let alone put it on your shoulders like a cloak. It needs to be emphasized that no matter what, you cannot roll up the sleeves of your suit jacket. Otherwise, it will easily give people a sense of vulgarity. Under normal circumstances, rolling up the legs of trousers at will is also a sign of disrespect for etiquette. Therefore, business people are absolutely prohibited from doing this.

Sixth, be careful when wearing sweaters. If business people want to wear a suit with "style" and "taste", it is best not to wear any other clothing under the suit jacket except for shirts and vests. When the winter is unbearably cold, it is only advisable to make a temporary change and wear a thin "V" collar monochrome woolen sweater or cashmere sweater. This will neither look too flashy nor prevent you from wearing a tie.

Do not wear woolen sweaters or cashmere sweaters with very complicated colors and patterns, and do not wear button-down open-collar woolen sweaters or cashmere sweaters. The latter has a lot of buttons, which is dazzling at the same time as the suit jacket. Never wear multiple wool, cashmere sweaters, vests, or even a hand-knitted sweater all at once. At first glance, the neckline will inevitably have clear layers, which is as ugly as irregular "terraces"; it will also cause the suit to bulge and become out of shape.

Seventh, match your underwear skillfully. The standard way to wear a suit is to not wear a cotton or woolen vest or underwear under the shirt. As for wearing a T-shirt directly with a suit without a shirt, it is even more illegal. When you need to wear a vest or underwear under your shirt due to special reasons, there are three things to note: - The quantity is limited to one piece. If you put on many pieces at once, you will definitely look very bloated. Second, the color should be similar to the color of the shirt, at least it should not be darker than the color of the shirt, so as not to make the "contrast" between the two sharp. Wearing dark or bright-colored vests and underwear under a light-colored or transparent shirt is more likely to make people laugh. Third, the style should be shorter than a shirt. For vests or underwear worn under a shirt, the collar shape is preferably a "U" collar or a "V" collar. It is best not to wear a high-collared vest or underwear under a shirt, otherwise it is likely to fall outside the collar of the shirt. Unsightly "trivia" will be exposed. In addition, you must also be careful not to expose the sleeves of your underwear to others.

Eighth, pack less stuff. In order to ensure that the suit does not look out of shape, you should put less or no things in the pockets of the suit. This applies to tops, vests and pants. If you treat the pockets on your suit as a "treasure box" and stuff it full of random things, you will be ruining your suit. Specifically, on a suit, different pockets play different roles.

On a suit jacket, except for a decorative silk handkerchief, which can be inserted into the left breast pocket, nothing else is allowed, especially pens and glasses. The inner chest pocket can be used to hold pens, wallets or business card holders, but do not put anything that is too big or thick or useless. In principle, it is better not to put anything in the two pockets at the bottom of the outside.

On a suit vest, the pockets have many decorative functions. It is not suitable to put anything else except a pocket watch.

On suit trousers, the two side pockets can only hold tissues, key cases or broken wallets. The two pockets on the back are mostly empty of anything.

Finally, business men should pay attention to the matching of suits. Most people who are familiar with the dress code of suits have heard the saying: "The charm of a suit does not depend solely on the suit itself."

A black suit should be paired with a mainly white shirt or a light-colored shirt, and a tie in gray, blue, green or other colors that coordinate with the shirt; a gray suit can be paired with a gray, green, yellow or brick-colored tie. Light-colored shirts; dark blue suits, which can be paired with blue, carmine or orange ties, white or bright blue shirts; blue suits, which can be paired with dark blue, gray, rouge, yellow or brick ties, pink, cream yellow , silver gray or bright blue shirt; brown suit, can be paired with dark brown, gray, green or yellow tie, white, gray, silver or bright brown shirt
