First of all, make the opening of the shirt collar, the loop of the belt and the front opening of the trousers in a line. Do not touch the tip of the tie on the belt buckle.
Second, when buying a shirt, two fingers should be inserted between the neck and the collar, so it will be appropriate after washing. Don't machine wash shirts. A shirt costing more than 300 yuan may not be worth 30 yuan after machine washing.
Third, prepare a straight suit and a beautiful tie, or wear a suit without a tie. Don't wear white socks (unless it's white pants and shoes).
Fourth, you should have a pair of good leather shoes. Don't buy leather shoes with shiny surface but cheap price.

Economic fashion collocation method
Most companies that require formal attire set their offices in office buildings. The temperature there is suitable in four seasons. Generally speaking, it is enough to wear only a suit and shirt, so pay attention to shirts and ties. There will be rich changes here. Rare colors of shirts, such as royal blue and pink, are more likely to attract the attention of others, and you can choose more expensive brands. When others think this shirt is distinctive, they will pay attention to what brand you are wearing. White shirts are the most common, and the changes are mainly in ties and cuffs. When a man wears a white shirt for several days, it is particularly important to change his tie. The best part of men's clothing is the V-shaped part of the upper body, so the tie has become the focus of people's attention.
The color of tie in formal occasions should not be fancy, mainly monochrome or twill printing, among which the gray tie composed of black and white, black and blue is the best; Usually, windsor knot and single knot are the main knotting methods; Men in suits should bring their own handkerchiefs, which are clean and tidy and easy to carry. Don't wear a backpack in a suit, just use a handbag; On formal occasions, the buttons of suits must be buttoned; When necessary, some small decorations should be complete, such as tie clips, which are simple and expensive; Thin-soled leather shoes, patent leather and black leather shoes without any metal decoration are preferred.
Choose a suit and shirt that suits you.
How to choose a suit shirt that suits you is a basic common sense of modern men. It is very important to choose a suit and shirt, because suits and shirts can show a man's demeanor. Suits are mainly divided into Japanese and European versions in form. The biggest difference between the two is that Japanese suits generally have no waistline, while European suits generally have waistlines. The back length of a Japanese suit is about one centimeter shorter than that of a European suit. So, how to choose a suit shirt that suits you? According to your figure, you can refer to the following principles.
A stout man.
It is most suitable for single-breasted tops, but the size should be fit, and it can be slightly smaller to highlight the thickness of the chest, but pay attention to cover the abdomen and button it at any time. You should choose dark materials instead of light materials. Using suspenders instead of belts can keep pants natural, and the waist will not protrude and will not slide down. A straight striped shirt with a pointed collar is most suitable, but be sure to wear a tie so that others will not pay attention to your waistline. The color is mainly black and navy blue, single-breasted and loose. If you choose a suit with patterns, stripes, checks, etc. It is best not to be too eye-catching.
A slightly shorter and thinner man
It is appropriate to wear a coat with a waist, but when wearing it, pay attention to the length of the coat not to cover all the hips, otherwise it will make their figure look shorter. Short and thin men should not wear dark colors such as black, navy blue and dark gray, and bright colors such as light gray are better.
A short man.
You can wear a deep striped suit with not too much space, which will look taller. You shouldn't wear contrasting tops and trousers. The length of the jacket is slightly shorter to make the legs look longer. The jacket should use long lapels and pockets. Wear a straight striped shirt with a pointed collar and a colorful tie to tie a basic slipknot. It is best to wear pants with inconspicuous pants lines; The heel of leather shoes should be thicker to increase the height.
A tall and thin man.
Try to buy a double-breasted suit. Wearing a coat and trousers with contrasting colors is better than wearing a whole suit, because the buttons of this kind of clothes are lower and the figure is not so thin. It is best to choose a suit with a wider width, and the color is mainly light. Don't use pinstripes in the fabric of the suit, otherwise it will highlight the shortcomings of the figure, and the plaid pattern is the best choice. A wide-necked shirt with a silk tie of moderate width, preferably a small triangle or vertical pattern, and a lapel vest make the figure more thick. Pants should have obvious creases and broken feet, and wide belts and platform shoes should be used to increase the sense of solidity.
Pay attention to "two looks" when buying a suit
Look at the work The workmanship mainly checks the stitches, handwork and clamping surface to see whether the two stitches in the suit pocket are consistent and whether there are wrinkles on the upper sleeve. If it is a striped or plaid suit, it depends on whether the two squares are right.
Second, look at the texture and color. Usually durable suits are made of natural materials, such as pure semi-wool. The most stable colors are mostly navy blue or grayish black, while others such as brown and dark brown are not suitable for formal occasions.
Finding the right version is to find the brand that suits you. Generally speaking, Italian brands, such as CERRUTI and D'URBAN, have wider shoulders and narrower bottoms. Kent & and other British brands; Cowen, jeeves & Hawkes' shoulders and hem fit better (narrow upper part and straight lower part). When buying a suit, you must try it on. It must fit perfectly and be very comfortable to wear and move. This is a good suit. When trying on, all buttons should be buttoned. After the button is buckled, there is still a fist-sized space between the clothes and the body (near the stomach). See if the shoulders fit. Seen from the side, the collar will not protrude unnaturally. Whether the shoulders, sleeves, collars and linings have a "cat's paw"-like uneven turning line. Then lift your arms and bend your elbows to see if there will be a feeling of wrinkles and tightness. When trying on a suit, it's best to do a stretching action to check whether the upper body length and bust size fit, and then see if there are unnatural folds on the back, front shoulders and sleeves.
Choosing a shirt depends on the fabric and color.
Whether the shirt fits or not will directly affect the fit of the overall dress, especially for some suits with light fabrics. If the shirt worn inside is too loose, it is difficult to ensure the neatness of the shirt. The shoulder line of the shirt should fall about 1-2 cm outside the scapula. If it is too wide, it will produce a lazy and lifeless visual feeling, and if it is too narrow, it will appear thin and not solemn enough. Because dress shirts are mainly worsted cotton and wool products, they may shrink to varying degrees after washing, so when purchasing shirts, we should consciously relax the shoulder line width by 0.5 cm.
In terms of color, international monochrome shirts such as white, light blue and medium blue are generally preferred; A striped or plaid shirt with a white background looks relaxed and has a strong sense of business; Dark shirts and patterned shirts are generally not suitable for formal activities and advanced business activities, and are only selected in a more relaxed and casual atmosphere or when attending parties; The eight-character collar shirt is more atmospheric, and the pointed collar shirt is more exquisite, but it depends on what collar type was popular at that time; Short-sleeved shirts are suitable for middle and lower class people, and middle and upper class people should choose long-sleeved shirts.
Gradual change of suit
The phrase "details determine success or failure" also applies to the image of the workplace. It is necessary to prepare 1-2 sets of professional clothes that suit you. Simple and elegant clothes and high-quality details are enough for your boss or customers to appreciate you.

From the release of fashion trends of domestic men's wear enterprises around the Spring Festival, many men's wear brands have begun to pay attention to the ingenious use of national elements while further absorbing international excellent design styles, and China elements such as stand collar, buckle and Chinese knot have begun to mix and match in business men's wear design. Leading the "traditional" people who pursue elegance and freshness.
Business and leisure
Business men's wear is becoming more and more casual, which seems to have become a major trend of various popular releases at home and abroad, and strives to show a healthy, lively and calm business concept. Of course, the leisure of business men's wear is limited, which is based on formal dress. In recent years, the trend-leading business men's wear has also begun to make bold breakthroughs in color, and designers have begun to use a large number of colorful colors to reflect masculinity, while sweeping away the dreariness of solemn and rigorous colors such as black, white, blue and gray. China Red and Charming Purple are becoming the mainstream colors of men's wear, while bright light blue and brownish yellow are becoming the secondary popular colors. In addition, from pink and pink yellow to pink blue and pink green, pink is also very popular, and even designers have adopted red, orange, light green, navy blue and other "patented" colors that used to be women's wear.
Business is more fashionable.
Compared with the international trend, different colors and patterns will also be a major trend in the development of business men's wear in China. The bold use of colors and patterns not only makes men pursue fashion and show their individuality, but also makes men relax their nervous nerves with ubiquitous national cultural customs, bold and exaggerated colors, strange patterns, confusing abstract patterns and mysterious China totem.
In terms of fabric application, the current business men's wear emphasizes the functional concept of health, comfort and practicality, and returns to the original, and adopts natural fabrics such as hemp, cotton and silk one after another, which is different from the previous formal style dominated by wool.
With the innovation of process and technology, natural fabrics will become thinner and thinner, and their properties will become more and more diversified, and designers will pay more and more attention to healthy elements.
