Thus, having the best formal business suit is a must-have for every man. For a unique and distinguishing touch, add on a few stylish elements to complete that graceful and charming look. Surf through the following lines to know the different kinds of suits you can select from. Take a look!

 

 

Though a double-breasted suit is a more formal style, it is never considered to be a serious business suit. As such, this suit is more suitable in creative fields, such as graphic arts, public relations, event planning, and so on. This is why double-breasted suits are mostly left for ‘after five’ events and more social settings, as they reveal the fashion sense of the wearer. The shirt generally has a spread collared shirt, which can be a European-style spread collar, a full-spread collar, a half-spread collar, a sculptured-spread collar, or a cut-away collar. Due to broadness of the collar, the tie should be worn with a full Windsor knot. For the complete creative look, compliment your suit with shoes, like a Kiltie Tassel loafer, lizard or alligator skin shoe, or a monk strap and buckle style shoe.

 

Three-button suits comprise of jackets that have no vent in their back. However, you can find them with a single vent or double vents occasionally. Classic or standard collar, pointed collar, tab collar, and spread collar are some of the most appropriate collar styles to don with a three-button suit. But if you want to reveal a more relaxed look, pick up a shirt with a button-down collar. The best shoes to pair with such suits are the cap-toe styled shoes. Alternately, you can also pick up a square-toed shoe. However, keep away from exaggerated square-toed shoes, as they move out of fashion too quickly.

 

In simple terms, a traditional suit is a two-button suit. Such suit models have a single vent on the back of their jackets. Depending upon the message you want to convey to the onlookers, you can pick up from the variety of shirts. While a collared shirt looks great for a formal event, for a more traditional feel, select a classic style collar or a pointed collar with a half Windsor knotted tie. Alternately, wear a spread collar with a full Windsor knotted tie for a more stylish and trendy look. Wing tip-styled shoes are the best option to complete your traditional suit.

 

Put on a completely relaxed look with a sport coat or blazer! Sport coats or blazers come in various styles - double-breasted, two-button style, or three-button style. They can have single vents, double vents, or no vents at all. These suits are worn with a button-down collared shirt to convey a more relaxed, or casual, look. Put on a half-Windsor or four-in-hand knotted tie if you are due to attend a formal event. The tie, however, can be given a miss in case the occasion is entirely casual. Shoes should generally be slip-on styles, such as penny loafer, Venetian, moc toe, or buckle strap style shoe.
