The buttoned suit with buttons on the same level as the upper pocket originated from American gentleman's clothing and was originally worn in solemn occasions such as celebrations and banquets. It was very popular in the 1970s, but it is rare now.
Double-breasted suits are divided into single-breasted and double-breasted suits. Single-row and double-button style is the most classic and widely worn, which has become the basic style of men's suits, showing different styles from the position of buttons and the change of lapels. Double-row and double-button suits are mostly gun lapels, with a square hem and a long body. This is characterized by rigor and dignity.
A three-button suit is characterized by only one button or two buttons in the middle, and its style is solemn and elegant.
Four-button suit is the standard style of double-breasted suit. It is characterized by a pointed lapel and a long and large body, which can be used as both a coat and an overcoat. You can wear a striped tie or bow tie. Because the four-button suit has different pin positions, it can also be divided into two types: button-on suit and button-down suit. The distance between the four buttons is basically equal to a square. A buttoned suit is called the new Hong Kong style and is often used for formal dresses. Button suit, the arrangement of four buttons is inverted trapezoid, and the distance between the top two buttons is large, which is only used for ornament. Although the style is classical, it is still one of the popular styles in Europe and America.
This coat has six buttons. In fact, it is the most typical orthodox suit, the most solemn style. It is characterized in that the distance between the upper two buttons is large, and the lower four buttons form a square with equal distance. You can button the bottom two buttons when you wear it. Six-button suits are of little practical use, and most of them appear in ceremonial occasions. More common in military, sailor, postal, railway and other professional uniforms.
Pay attention to the following points when wearing:
1, if it is a single-row double-grain buckle, the second grain is a sample buckle, so it is forbidden to buckle all, generally only the first grain or both grains are buckled; If it is a double-row suit, all buttons should be buckled to show stability; If there are three buttons in a single row, the first and third buttons are sample buttons, not all buttons. You can only buckle one button in the middle or none at all.
2. Wear a suit with a tie. The standard knot of a tie should be a solid inverted trapezoid, and the hem should not be twisted or skewed. The tie droops too long, the thick end droops to the belt buckle, and the thin end is shorter than the thick end and should not be exposed.
If you don't wear a tie, don't tie the neckline of your shirt.
4. Avoid that the sleeves of the suit are longer than the shirt, and should be shorter than the shirt by about 1 cm.
5, wear a suit shirt sleeves should be buttoned.
6. Avoid putting it under the shirt outside your pants.
7. Don't wear too many sweaters or sweaters inside the suit, otherwise it will look bloated.
8. Avoid excessive sundries in the upper and lower pockets of the suit. The top pocket of a suit is a handkerchief pocket. You can insert a handkerchief with corners or triangles, or it can be empty. Avoid inserting pens and other items.
9. Avoid wearing sports shoes, cloth shoes and sandals when wearing a suit.
Tips for choosing a suit:
Master the looseness of tailoring
A suit that is too tight not only looks stiff, but also uncomfortable to wear. Because there is not enough stretching space between gestures, the movements are not neat enough, but the style is too casual and lacks lines, which of course does not conform to the spirit of wearing a suit. The most suitable style is European or British tailoring, while keeping the American suit soft and comfortable, that is, the waist is slightly gathered and the shoulder line is clear.
Focus on shopping with slimming effect
Some suits make you look "too sedate and old-fashioned" or make you look fatter. In fact, a suit jacket has several visual points, which can make you look thinner. Try to avoid wearing a wide-necked suit jacket. The appropriate width is about 3.5 inches (from the collar corner of the shirt to the middle of the shoulder line). An excessively wide collar will make your upper body look wider.
It is recognized that the thinnest suit style is the British suit with a double fork at the back (but if you are tall, you should choose a single fork suit), because the double fork can make people vaguely see your legs when you move, making you look taller, and friends who are used to putting their hands in their pants pockets will not affect the hip lines. But the height of the slit should not be too high, and the high point should be kept at the top of the back pocket.
When buying a suit, we must pay attention to several key points, namely, shoulders, chest, armholes and length of clothes. In particular, once the first three areas don't fit, they can't be modified reluctantly, but the length can be modified by about one to two inches. Once this length is exceeded, the overall proportion will be destroyed. Therefore, even if the salesman tells you that the inappropriate parts can be modified for you free of charge, there are still restrictions that cannot be modified, so be sure to pay attention.
