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 test out new things 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).
