MEN Suits Up! There is something about a man in the suit that can build confidence in anybody. As we have been watching men’s red carpet fashion from awards and even from corporate functions, we decided to assist those men who would like to not only look professional, but classy too, and power it up with their suits! Many people wear suits for special occasions. Whether it be for a cocktail party, wedding, reunion, funeral, or a job interview, looking good in a suit is top priority. By following these steps, you can improve your image through wearing a suit. 1. Make sure that your suit fits. These are some important elements to note when you purchase a suit: i. Your suit jacket should fit well and give you a full range of motion, both buttoned and unbuttoned. ii. You should be able to fit one finger between the collar of your shirt and your neck, but no more 48 no more than that. The shirt cuffs should not slide up when you stretch your arms. If you are wearing a button-cuff shirt, the cuffs should break exactly at the wrist; if it's a French-cuff shirt, the cuffs should break about 1/2 inch further. Your vest should button comfortably and hit just below the waistband of your pants. 2. Dress for your body type. If you're a shorter person, Groove Magazine Zimbabwe stick to single-breasted jackets.
