Men- How To Wear a Suit





Who doesn't love a man in a suit?! But the right suit, makes all the difference. I'm doing a photo shoot with Tony Veloz this afternoon, and one of his pictures (the top one) inspired me to do a post on men's suits (also to wear one in a photo shoot seen here). So without further ado, above are some samples of how the suit should look, and below, GQ and msn teamed up with a few pointers on how to wear a suit. Below are some of my favorite points they made:

1. Slim—not skinny—pants make you look taller and thinner (could someone tell Matt Lauer that please).

2. A lower-set button stance on a jacket, paired with a narrow tie makes you look taller and more grown-up.

3. Never button the bottom button unless it’s snowing and you’ve lost your topcoat (and even then, think twice).

4.Take note: Longer lapels, leaner torso. It’s that simple.

5. When you’re mixing patterns, only one of them (ex the tie) should really pop.

6.Unless you live in Rio, khaki suits are for spring and summer. They should be cotton; they should never, ever be wool.

7.The slickest Italian loafers won’t look like much without a polish.

8. Round-toe, not square black shoes. End of story
