What You Need To Know About Men’s Waistcoat

by admin

A waistcoat is a sleeveless upper body garment usually worn over a dress shirt and necktie and below a coat as a part of most men’s formal wear. Traditionally it’s the third piece of a 3-piece male business suit. A waistcoat can highlight or hide areas of your body as required and when worn the right way, is highly suitable for any occasion. The good thing about a waistcoat is that there’s still room to experiment with layering. You can wear it during the summer as an alternative to a jacket and wear it in winter with suits to add intensity and texture to formal looks.

There’re a couple of things you need to take note of when shopping for a waistcoat. First, it has to fit perfectly. Make sure it has high armholes and fits tight across shoulders and chest without any pulling around the buttons or fabric at the back. Second, think of the reasons why you want a waistcoat. Don’t color match it with your other suits if it’s not part of a three-piece, instead choose colors that complement or contrast. Third, make sure it’s buttoned up but leave the bottom button undone to avoid pulling the material whenever you sit down, raise your arms, or turn your body. Fourth, if you want to wear your waistcoat without a jacket, choose one that has its own lapels. Lastly, select fabrics like cotton, linen, and tweed to add texture and depth to your getup.

Dress For Success: Tips For Your Professional Wardrobe

Most men do just fine dressing themselves for a social context. I know countless guys who are very fashion conscious, and yet don’t know how to dress for an interview or other professional situation. If you have a similar issue, then this post is for you. Here, I’ve listed some great tips for fashion and grooming in preparation for a job interview.

Let’s start off with the suit. In the world of business, a man’s suit is a massive factor in how his colleagues view him. If yours doesn’t give off the right impression, you won’t be getting the job! The general rule is to go with plain, solid designs. One in navy and one in deep grey will usually be all the suits you need. While verbose pinstripe designs might rub certain executives the right way, your safest bet is to choose something nice and boring. Go with a two to three button cut. Either should be fine, but consider the mien of the company you’re hoping to work for. If you think they have a more traditional way of running things, a two-button cut is a little more classic. Having a custom-made suit from a good label also goes a long way. Look at michaelandrewsbespoke.com/suits for some inspiration.

Unless it really doesn’t fit with your suit jacket, I’d go for a plain white shirt. Traditionally speaking, this should have a straight point collar. However, these days it’s become much more common to have a less flashy button-down. The styles which should be avoided are tab collars, pins and wide English spreads. Look at businessinsider.com for more details. You might think that a little gold monogram adds a touch of class, but they should be avoided unless you’re going for an executive position. I’d also stay away from French cuffs. These can complement the rest of your attire pretty nicely. However, if you’re not used to wearing these, they should be avoided. You don’t want to have a cufflink malfunction the moment you’re called in!

When it comes to the accessories, don’t stress too much about the tie. Yes, it’s the first thing you notice about a man’s suit. However, a classic dotted or striped pattern will usually be sufficient. As for your shoes, go for normal black lace-ups. You may feel that you want to stand out from the crowd, but don’t. Casual loafers, along with shoes with buckles or straps, will stand out in the wrong way! Aside from that, wear a nice mens watches and subtle cufflinks. Be sure to keep a comb on you and use it within the minute you’re going to be called in. Flair and individuality may be great for some situations, but when you’re looking to get a job, go with the uniform!

There you have my best tips on picking out an interview wardrobe. I’ll leave you with one last pointer; don’t be afraid to ask! Some people may see it as unprofessional, but for the most part you shouldn’t worry about it. In your initial phone conversation, there’s nothing wrong in a quick “what should I wear?”

It goes without saying that it should be special since it only happens once a year. Women sometimes have a hard time choosing the right presents for their boyfriends or husbands simply because most of the market products are aimed at women. No matter what it is, always keep in mind that a good gift will not only make his day but will likewise show your love and appreciation for him, especially when he has been great all year long and he deserves only the best. Also remember that your gift does not have to be expensive. As long as it comes from the heart, it is good.

You can also give essential clothing items like socks, underwear, and boxer shorts but make sure that it is the right size and goes with his preferred style.

If your guy likes footwear you can always give him sneakers, rubber shoes, sandals, and flip flops.

Pamper him from head to toe this Valentine’s Day with a luxe grooming set which includes a deodorant, body spray, aftershave, pomade, beard balm, and soap.
