Is there anything called a suit for the weekend? I think so. I would recommend gentlemen this suit for cocktails and weddings. The material can range anything from flannel wool fabrics, cotton or linen. This is where you can express yourself with checks, stripes and an array of patterns. Keep the cut classic and go for a comfy fit for your weekend suit. To spice up the look with a bit of formal flair, I’d advise you to select high cut notch lapels.

Here is another look from the 40’s. Remember Abbot and Costello  single-breasted suit jacket with pocket flaps, centre vent and a two-button fastening. I love this  jacket with a straight leg, belt loops and zip fly. It also comes with a matching waistcoat five buttons, two pockets and waist adjuster to back.  The look was inspirational then and today people are helping it to inspire others when it comes to what they should wear.

Does your shirt have a ‘point collar’ or a ‘spread collar’

The spread collar and point collar are two of the most popular  shirt collar styles. While the length of the collar is the same the width of a point collar from point to point is smaller than the spread collar .  A spread collar will always visually make your face look wider and the point collar will make your face longer.  The spread collar also allows more room for a wider tie knot than the point collar, due to the extra space between the collar points.

Now let me explain how to wear shirts, having a point collar and what it’s best for. It’s great for anyone with a no-nonsense who wants to maintain a more streamlined wardrobe. For a casual, regular look, I would rather you try a spread collar shirt with jeans, dress pants or chinos.

How should the bottom of the jacket be?
Historically, a jacket would have you drop your arms to your side. I’d suggest you cup your hands and check that the bottom of the jacket sat right in that ‘cup’. Jackets are being cut shorter these days and should fall somewhere right below your derriere. This is more liking to almost be the difference from the top half of your body to the bottom half of your body.  You will find ready made garments to be a little bit longer then Custom Suits. Custom Suits allow you to get the perfect length because it is made for you specifically

Each of us has our own special sauce and blend of experiences that make us unique. In a world that is paradoxically becoming increasingly diverse, we seem to be increasingly struggling with our collective acceptance of diversity. And don’t even get me started on the whole inclusion part that goes along with it. It’s Monday, let’s celebrate our differences rather than condemn each other for them. This is a no-judgment zone!

What was men’s staple wear in the early 1960s?
Since the early 60’s were still dusting off the strong conservative values of the 1950’s, menswear at the beginning of the 60s were more towards business look. Think ‘Mad Men’: fitting suits, jackets and blazers. Hats were still very much in fashion, although the leading luminaries of the era ditched them soon after.

It isn’t for nothing that the ’60s stand out as one of the most defining eras in men’s fashion. The changes in style where impossible not to notice, how the conservativeness of decades’ past had given way to a much more energetic, bold overall design. The early years, however, were heavily influenced by Italian designers, who brought a sense of refinement to men’s cuts and styles.

It’s (still) Wednesday? Can I get away with wearing jeans?
Jean’s span across a wide range. Of course, any jeans that have rips in, are too garishly bleached or too tight, fall austerely within the casual realm and wouldn’t go by the smart litmus test. However, darker indigo denim can be smart casual as long as the clothes around them are formal. But watch out, some places ban wearing jeans despite having a smart casual dress code.

Quick Maintenance hack
Make sure your suit fits your body type and you’re comfortable in it. Dry cleaning the suits and airing them from time to time is the simplest maintenance hack that we always tell to our clients.

You know that feeling, gentlemen. 

You have a big function coming up, or a very promising job interview, so you find yourself scrambling for the most presentable formal wear you have. You might have a great shirt, or even a pair of pants that suits you flawlessly. Yet, look at the end result of the contents of your wardrobe — an outfit that passes the muster for formality, but does little to make you stand out. Even worse, your formalwear may simply be inappropriate with perhaps clashing or, and this is the worst offender of them all, ill-fitting pieces.

1920s men’s pants grew from skinny jazz trousers to wide straight leg trousers to the over-sized oxford bags in the span of just 10 years. All men’s 1920s pants had very high waists and waist bands held up with button suspenders. Vintage pants and reproduction pants are very hard to come by. Instead, you can wear new men’s pants with 1920s style like these. Look for flat front pants that fit high on the waist (no low rise) in distinct patterns such as stripes, plaid, checks, tweed and herringbone. Cuff the legs for that extra bit of 1920s fashion.
