Style Basics: Men's Wear 101
A man should look as though he has chosen his clothes with
intelligence, put them on with care and then forgotten all about
them.
Sir Hardy Amies
The
dearth of good sartorial advice today affects not just the exclusive
realm of formal wear but also the general domain of
tailored
men’s
wear. All too often sales clerks put their own
priorities first, focusing on the selling the latest fads and
minimizing alterations rather than determining what is best for the
customer.
Therefore this section will explain the
basic elements of style so that buyers can select a
tuxedo that will best flatter their general build as well as remain
fashionable for years to come. It will also review the fundamentals of proper fit
so that whether purchased or rented, the selected dinner suit can
perfectly complement their specific physique. The end result
should be a tuxedo which appears born into rather than borrowed.
