Who
would've imagined that an old Pink Panther movie would be my first
meeting with the very essential men's suit? I was really puzzled at
first as to why Cato, the valet, had to go to the trouble of brushing
Inspector Jacques
Closeau's
suit. I was to learn later on that the suit , or a blazer, is an
investment, and any serious gentleman without one is in many ways the
poorer.
A
point for consideration before investing is that your lifestyle may
not really need suits. Whatever the case, you ought to at least have
one. Let's take a shot at the main reasons why, aside from the fact
that Inspector Closeau managed to have one.
We
can simply come up with a lot of reasons why a suit deserves to be
considered in your budget if you don't have one, and why they need to
be replaced if you bought ill-suited ones. First off, if you live in
an urban area, chances are not far that your typical day
crisscrosses the office, corporate events in and out of town, the
occasional wedding... in short, events that need some serious power
dressing. Aren't you relieved that you are not at a loss when you
need to come in a suit? Even if those events are far in between, at
least you brighten up the hosts' day for upping the ante in terms of
class and taste. Which brings us to the next reason that a suit also
exudes a sense of confidence and responsibility. People
can rely on you, and you're in control.
How
about a date at the club, or some work-related appointment outside
the office? If you want to add a bit of chutzpah to an otherwise
shirt-and-denims thing, then bring along a sports blazer or coat.
Think tweed, houndstooth, linen and cotton fabrics. Ultimately, you
get the look that you want: casual and sporty. To digress, this
brings us to the minimum idea that you need at least two suits: a
business suit, and a sports blazer or jacket for going on a roll.
And
this article also seeks out those who got their suits on the basis of
advice from closet fashion victims and mythical assumptions. So its
time to revamp that closet and root out the bad from the good.
Re-think and consult if you really deserve to trudge through life
with heavily padded shoulders given your physique. Take also a closer
look at those taken-for-granted buttons; plastic is definitely so-so;
get bone, pearl, or metal. With your arms resting at the sides,
ensure that the sleeves do not cover fully your wristbone, and that a
shirt's long sleeve cuffs worn within only peek out.
To
top things off, be assured that suits and coats have long shed their
stiff, Old Guard image. Rather, suits are extremely effective
must-haves that project a powerful statement, and with the right
style, can also bring on a fresh insight into a too-rugged casual
attire.
