5 Rules for Suiting Up




Suits are always sexy 
(Especially on my favorite soccer yummy- Lionel Messi) 
5 Beginning Rules for Suiting Up



Rule number one: Skinny ties are in. Long black skinny ties are back on the rise and slim a man's torso and even give the illusion that he's taller (See left). Who doesn't like a tall and lean man? 


Rule number two: White shirts match any tie. When in doubt match with white. Black and white can be very plain. To spice it up for the less spicy person try a hue of blue or a nice stripped tie.

Rule number three: Shades go well between shirts and ties. Any pale color looks great with a darker version of color. (See right)


 

Rule number four: 
To make things more interesting try a striped shirt. They are not as hard to match as it may seem. Pick a striped shirt and squint. Whatever color pops out is the primary color but when you squint you can see the secondary stripes. That color to be safe should be your tie color. This also works in reverse. If there is a tie you like you can pick the color from the tie to find the shirt. (See left) 

Rule number 5: It's perfectly fine to go black on black and the best part- it looks good on every man. (See right). Bradley Cooper wears the suit without the tie, but even with the black tie the suit is classy and not an eye sore as it's contrary (white on white) is. Black is also extremely slimming.

  2. I approve of the squint method while trying to determine what tie goes with what shirt, or what shirt goes with what tie. Clever. My favorite is the skinny tie, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. Great post!

  4. I agree. A suit can make any man look good! (even Robert Pattison who I dislike greatly) Bradley Cooper can pull off any look, especially that photo you added. I do not prefer the skinny tie style over the regular ties though.
