#1: ILL FITTING SUITS
|
This is not only the biggest dressing mistake, it is also the most common one. And the biggest reason behind this is that most men buy their clothes for future, not for today, “What if they gained weight”. It really doesn’t matter how expensive your suit is or which brand stable it comes from, what matters is how it fits you, today. You may want to keep these 4 important points in mind when buying a suit.

Notice the length, Chest Area and Sleeves. It is atleast 2 sizes bigger

#2: BUTTONING UP MISTAKE
|
Many men tend to button up either both the buttons or the lower one. It’s only the top one which has to be buttoned. It seems counter intuitive to some but that’s how it is. Don’t trust us? See the models walking the ramps or in the suit ads.
And when you sit down, unbutton it. |
Suit Dressing Tip

#3: RIGHT TIE LENGTH
Right Tie Length
|
Tie has a potential to accentuate a beautiful outfit. But a little carelessness can ruin the whole show. Actually it is ok not to wear a tie nowadays. However if you have decided to wear one, be very precise. The tip of the tie should rest right on the middle of the belt buckle. Anything shorter or longer will look bad. Tie Width: It should follow the width of the lapel.

#4: LEATHER SQUARE TOE SHOES
THROW THEM AWAY. Even though fashion does turn a full cycle and returns, square toes are not going to be fashionable soon, maybe ever. They don’t impress anyone. They don’t even look old school fashion. These boxy pair looks as ugly as torn shoes. It is moronic to even own them.
#5: WHITE SOCKS WITH FORMAL SHOES
|
Avoid it like a plague, now since you have read it here. Color of formal socks should match that of the trousers, or in any other scenario, the shoe color. Nothing else works. And never wear socks with boat shoes.

Black shoes and white socks

#6: MATCHING POCKET SQUARE & TIE
|
This appears logical but fashion runs more by creativity than logic. While the color theme can be the same, if you really can't avoid that at all, both should not be cut from the same fabric. Lot of brands sell those accessory boxes having these two made from the identical fabric. If fashion was a legal profession, such brands should have lost their license to practice.
|
Never should the tie & pocket square be of the same fabric, color or pattern
