50 June 2014 www.womanthismonth.com MEN | 10 tips Varying Styles Believe it or not, there are many suits styles in the market. You have the classics, the tuxedo and the seasonal trends. If you want to bring an element of variety to your wardrobe, summer is the best time to try out different colours and textures. Pattern Effect If you have a short and stocky frame, pinstripes will give the impression of a longer and lean figure. Try ones that play with tone on tone. They are contemporary and subtle, but deliver the same effect. If you’re tall and slim, try different patterns like tartan and windowpane. Look for Balance After fitting comes proportion. If you opt for a jacket with a slim collar and slim lapels, stick to the pattern with a slim tie. This is the latest trend and the best choice if you are not tall. For tall and large men, it is better to avoid thin details. Accessorise! The tie is an important element in a suit. The first rule is, if you’ve unbuttoned your collar, remove the tie. Don’t wear it loose. The knot has to be positioned in the right place for a polished look. If the occasion doesn’t demand formal dressing, it is fine to skip the tie. Pick a nice shirt and you will look good anyway. In this case, leave the jacket unbuttoned. Right Measures The proper arm length means that the jacket sleeve should be short enough to show at least one centimetre of your shirt cuffs (And that’s both arms!). This subtle detail shows off that you really know how to pull-off the formal style. 3. 4. 5. 6. Suit Up Finding the right suit is a challenge.
