Nº1:

The tie should be darker than the shirt. This way it can stand out and not blend in with the rest of the suit.

Nº2:

A pocket square polishes up the suit, but it should never match the pattern nor fabric of the tie.

Nº3:

The tie should barely reach the waistband of the trousers, or it should be slightly shorter.

Nº4:

The jacket should be long enough for it to cover the pant’s zipper.

Nº5:

The jacket should fit perfectly around the shoulders without creating any creases.

Nº6:

You can spice things up a little with the suit, adding colours and patterns, but don’t make it look too extravagant.

Nº7:

Shirt cuffs should never go over the hand, but they should not leave much skin exposed between the sleeve and hand either.

Nº8:

A darker tie on a slightly lighter suit makes the suit look sharper.

Nº9:

Use a leather strapped watch to add a level of formality.

Nº10:

When wearing a broken suit, make sure you match the fabrics (pants and jacket).
