- Wearing the Wrong Jacket Size If the shoulders are too wide or too tight, the entire suit looks poorly fitted. Rule: The shoulder should sit naturally where your shoulder ends.
- Jacket Sleeves Are Too Long Your shirt cuff should be slightly visible beyond the jacket sleeve. Aim: A small amount of shirt cuff showing.
- Trousers Are Too Long Excess fabric bunching around the ankle can make an otherwise good suit look untidy. Rule: Keep the trouser break clean and intentional.
- Buttoning the Jacket Incorrectly For a standard two-button suit: Top button stays Fasten Bottom button stays Leave open
- Wearing the Wrong Shoes Your shoes should complement the suit and the occasion. For example: Navy on Brown or black Charcoal on Black or dark brown, Black on Black
- Too Many Colors and Patterns
A patterned suit, patterned shirt and loud tie can compete for attention.
Rule: If one piece is loud, keep the others simpler. - Ignoring the Occasion A suit isn't automatically appropriate just because it's formal. A business suit, wedding suit and tuxedo serve different purposes. The Big Lesson A great-looking suit isn't only about the suit itself. Fit, proportions, shoes, shirt and small details all work together.
