3 Piece Suit

When we hear about a 3 piece suit, this conjures up an image of an old-fashioned London businessman, with his 3 piece suit and bowler hat. A man’s 3 piece suit consists of matching trousers, a vest (or waistcoat if you are British), and a jacket. It can come in various designs, although once again, pinstripe is usually what springs to mind, along with the image of the wearer being an elderly or middle-aged man. However, that does not always have to be the case.

Today, many younger men are also wearing 3 piece suits, and not all of them are found in Westminster or on Wall Street. There are several types of 3 piece suit on the market. One type is more traditional, pinstripe, and worn with the classic white shirt and conservative striped tie. This look does not have to be confined to older men. Younger men can also look quite dashing if dressed this way.

A less formal gray 3 piece suit can also look very good and is trendier than its traditional cousin. Worn with a black and white striped shirt, it can look quite chic and youthful. Of course, you don’t have to be even this conservative. If you want to jazz up your 3 piece suit, you can also wear it with a colorful tie, giving it a racier look altogether.

Whichever style or look you decide to choose, when you buy your 3 piece suit, there are certain style tips that may help you make the most of your new outfit. First of all, when you buy the jacket, you should make sure that the collar fits your neck properly and does not look rumpled or ruffled. Shoulder pads are also an effective way to give you a more muscular, manly look, emphasizing your broad shoulders. If you want to look neat, make sure that the sleeves of the jacket fit you properly and end at the end of your wrists. A jacket with sleeves that are either too long or too short can look quite ridiculous and may spoil the look of your 3 piece suit completely.

The vest of your 3 piece suit should also fit you properly. For this purpose, you will find that it usually comes with side adjusters that will help you to make the right fit. Needless to say, the trousers also need to fit you correctly, so when you try your 3 piece suit on for the first time, you should make sure that all alterations to length are done correctly.

Now that you have found your fitted 3 piece suit, you need to enhance your look with the right accessories. These include a tailored shirt and tie and make sure that your tie blends in properly with your suit without destroying its look.

Last but not least, always choose the right fabric that will be comfortable for you during the time of the year that you will be wearing your 3 piece suit. Wool and wool blends are probably the best types and are of the highest quality. Other options are polyester and cotton. Rayon, mohair, and denim are not suitable fabrics for a 3 piece suit and should be avoided.
