How to wear a three-piece suit and choose its individual elements?

Hi all! And immediately the question is: have you ever thought about what will happen if you wear individual elements of a three-piece suit not in a single ensemble, but with different clothes and in different styles? But there is another question: how to choose the right elements and then put them together? Now we will tell everything ... but first things first.

In fact, a three-piece suit is ideal for short men. In addition, the "troika" has the ability to make you taller, slimmer, more beautiful, more elegant. This is achieved through a single color scheme, because as we know, if you wear trousers and a shirt of different colors, then the wrong selection of them “cuts” you in half and visually reduces. A three-piece suit, on the other hand, does everything exactly the opposite, but only if it is monophonic. Too light top and dark bottom will reduce your efforts to zero. A suit helps to avoid unnecessary contrast because it is usually made from the same fabric, the same color, and the same texture.

But what happens if you take off your jacket?

See what a striking contrast the absence of a jacket creates? The young man on the right looks much shorter than his neighbor in the photo on the left. What to do in such a situation? There are few ways to decide, but the surest, in this case, is the use of shirts with prints and patterns, however, these shirts are full of flaws - they are not practical, they may not suit the theme of the evening to which you are invited. So, there is practically no replacement for a white shirt and alternatives to it. But we will come out of this situation with our heads held high.

Voila! We take off the jacket, but we remain in the vest!

It seems to be nothing. Another advantage of this ensemble is that the vest hides the lower part of the tie. So, if your tie is too long or too short, then the vest will hide all the shortcomings and flaws. However, if the tie is too long, then you can safely tuck it into your trousers - the vest will “cover” you.

And now let's talk directly about how to wear a three-piece suit without looking like a salesman in some seedy store or a representative of a network company, and how to pick up the details and feel like an Aston Martin owner giving everyone a $100 tip.

Let's start with the main thing - with the length of the vest. This is generally a sore subject for all pseudo-mods who bought an inexpensive three-piece suit in some shopping center. Remember the main thing: the shirt should never, under any circumstances, be visible from under the vest. A short vest looks just awful and spoils the overall impression of the whole ensemble. The vest should completely cover your body up to the trousers. As in the photo.

Remember: better let your vest be a little long than short.

If you aspire to be a fashionista, and not a parody of the guys from glossy magazines, then remember the main rule: the bottom button on the vest is not fastened. This rule is not as strictly regulated as with a jacket, but it should be followed.

Move on. The rule is as follows: the back of the vest, that is, its back, must be made of the same material as the front. Yes, you can find vests with silk backs. As a rule, this is the material that is used in the production of the lining. It seems that there is nothing wrong with this, and the put on jacket slides well on the back of a vest made of silk, but if you do not want to lose the versatility of the suit and benefit from every wearable element, then we recommend choosing a vest from a fabric identical to the one from which it is sewn trousers and a jacket, or at least so that the color of the vest matches their color.


Left is correct. On the right is a nightmare.

With the vest finished, now let's talk about shirts. It is very important that their sleeves are not too wide and short. It's one thing when you wear a shirt under a sweater or jacket, and another when you're wearing a vest.

Remember that the sleeves should not be too narrow: this is done so that at any time you can roll them up. Slightly tapered sleeves and cuffs will not cover a bracelet or watch dear to your heart.

Now let's put it all together, into a single three-piece suit. Here is the perfect ensemble, the wearing of which will attract to you correct Attention. This is exactly what a man should look like.

So now go and explore your wardrobe - after reading this article, you learned what a vest, shirt should be, but besides that, we have dedicated you to other subtleties. Stay beautiful! See you here very soon!
