Always unfasten your jacket buttons when you sit.

Button-down collars are not just for casual wear, they can look great with dressier looks as well.

-
There are disagreements whether or not to cut the stitching in your jacket pockets, because, some say, putting objects in them can cause the jacket to lose shape. Others say to not listen to that as it’s pointless to have pockets if you can’t use them. What do you think? Comment below and let us know!
-
Accessorize right! If you’re already wearing a tie bar and a pocket square, leave your lapel pin at home.
-
Your tie bar should never be wider than your tie.
-
Customize a three-piece suit to look slim and modern.
-
Tailor your pants a little short for an added distinctiveness to your simple look.

A dark or colored pocket square gives a great visual when combined with a light-colored suit.
-
Always remove the stitched on the vents and the label on the left sleeve before wearing a new suit.
-
If you want to flip up the collar of a causal cotton jacket, go ahead. BUT when you’re dressed more formally leave the collar down.
-
If you’re not wearing a tie, keep your shirt collar on the smaller side.
