11+ Rules to Suit Up!
for modern guys
Even if you
are a student or work as a freelance (home office) there will be times that you
should wear a suit. Any man can wear it
but not every man can wear it right. You should also keep in mind that women
are vulnerable when it comes to uniforms and suits. So… You have to learn how
to pull it off.
- First things first! Fit is everything. Especially for suits. Even the world's most expensive suit will look bad if it doesn’t fit you properly. Not too big, not too tight. Just perfect.
- I don’t like white suits or very light coloured ones. But it’s my personal opinion. So I would say go with dark colours. Not everything has to be colourful.
- It doesn't have to be boring! Even if you wear a suit in navy, black or grey you still can add some colours and details with your tie or accessories. Polka dots are a great way to bring energy to a suit. You can use it with your shirt or tie. Bold colours for ties, watches or bracelets look ‘cool’ too. Also a pocket square (I’m not a fan of them but…)

- It is impossible to look pulled together when your jacket isn't buttoned. (Three-button jackets: middle button only; two-button jackets: top button only; one-button jacket: that one button.) But always unfasten your jacket buttons when you sit. No exceptions.
- Never underestimate the value of that half inch of shirt cuff jutting out under your jacket.
- Always go bold with your cuff-links.
- You don’t have to wear tie with every suit.

- The difference between classic and cliché is often in the material.
- Never wear a suit without a belt.
- Brogue boots add the perfect rugged touch to your favorite casual suit.
- You may always try different styles with your suit. Don’t hesitate to show you personality!
- Blue jacket with black collar… My favourite. I'm also a big fan of waistcoats inside the suit jackets.
This one is a tuxedo but still... I loved it. You can use some creativity to turn these colours and style into a suit. :) |

Accessory Guide for Men!
No matter what style dilemma you've recently been dealing with, there's always an accessory that will solve it. Having a bad hair day? Sort it out with a beanie which makes you look cool in cool days. You think your outfit is very simple? Just wear a trendy leather bracelet and a men necklace to make your look in a style.
Finding the right details to finish off an
outfit isn't something most guys think about. From neckwear, glasses, belts, and
bracelets, there are many ways to have a
‘effortlessly stylish’ look. You just need to know which one or ones are for
you. So… Here is a men's accessory guide just before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Pick one!
- Hats and beanies - A hat is a great addition to your outfit. Casual hats with a black framed glasses give a playful vibe and a scholar look to a business or a casual smart look. For example, throwing on a navy or grey beanie with a navy blazer, khaki chinos or jeans, grey jumper, rugged boots, a printed scarf , and a messenger bag is a great touch. It shows you put effort into your outfit but without a big effort.
Nixon compass grey beanie: £15.96
Bench men's chorlton oversized beanie: £14.99 £11.99
Quiksilver Caribou hat black: £30
Grey wool fedora: £ 41.16
- Glasses and Sunglasses – Sunglasses are not just for summer anymore. When you see a little sunshine just put them on. Besides in winter season if you are a snowboarder or a skier your sunglasses are for 12 months. And drivers… You never know when the sun hurts your eyes while driving. If it’s a very grey there without any sunlight then you may go with coloured framed glasses for a scholar look. In both cases be sure to know your face shape.

black black: £156.00
Reclaimed vintage round sunglasses: £35.81
Garrett Leight 'Abbot' glasses: £219.85
- Scarves - I know… You are tired of reading about statement scarves but it’s such a big and important trend that I can’t finalize any posts without mentioning it. For a formal look you may go with loop knots (fold the scarf in half and put the loose ends through the loop). For a more casual look just swing the scarf around your neck and letting both ends hang on each side.
- Belts - They say women can’t walk properly without a bag. That’s not true. But we do feel naked without a bag. That’s true. I think the same situation must be for belts and guys. Guys (You) MUST feel themselves naked without a belt. It’s that much an essential! Belt rules are easy to get right: If your pants have belt loops, wear a belt with them. For a formal look make sure that your belt fits with your shoes. For a casual look go with ‘outstanding’ ones. Try contrast colours.
G-Star cooper belt: £60
Scotch & Soda ethnic woven blue belt: £ 24.36
Paul & Joe Emerson burgundy dotted belt: £ 71.40
Dsquared2 BELT: £84.00
Armani embossed cracked leather belt: £98.99
- Bracelets, necklaces, and watches – I don’t know if it’s just me but I think men wearing bracelets, watches, and necklaces are very sexy! When it comes to bracelets don’t wear too many. 1-2 is enough.
Philipp Plein round metal men's necklace:
£177.50
Icon Brand billy rock necklace:
£20.00£16.00
Leather and stainless steel multicoloured necklace:
£24.99
Tribal men's brown leather bracelet: £13.15

Cerruti stainless steel brown leather
bracelet: £75.00
Just Cavalli route brown leather and rubber
bracelet: £95.85
Bottega Veneta Intrecciato oxidised silver
bracelet: £335.00
- Gloves – I must say only go for leather gloves. Maybe it’s the biker charisma or something else but men should wear only but only leather gloves. That’s my idea and I’m standing behind it! They are also functional you know. J You can keep your hands warm. Try to make it good with your watch too.
Fossil Nate black stainless steel
chronograph watches: £156.20
ATOP unisex watch WWS-1A: £160.00 £107.00

Tips To Choose A Long Coat
I thought it would be a smart thing to
start with a Tom Ford long coat photo. Because this coat make you want to have
one like this even though you don't like long coats at all!
I like long coats on men - especially for formal outfit - if they don't look like Blade, the vampire slayer :)
So... How long is too long?
(In this post you can also find great long coats from the best designers, and also great ones under £ 150. Scroll down to see the suggestions)

BASICS:
- First rule is: Make sure that your long coat is at mid-thigh. It shouldn’t touch the ground. Especially if you’re a short guy. In fact if you are shorter than average try the ones that are on the level of just under your hips.
- Second rule: This is the only outfit that I don't recommend you to go colourful. Patterns are ok but not a bright solid colour!
A top trend for this season, the long coat
is not to be chosen lightly. For the ideal length with details that make all
the difference, The MenLookTribune revisits the most important points to keep
in mind.
For Autumn-Winter 2013, it will literally
invade the podiums of the major clothing stores: the long coat, which brings
chic and nobility, but in reverse, finds itself as one of the top favorites of
men’s fashion trends for the season. Ideal to cover you in the coldest
temperatures, it remains a large investment – if not a primordial one – for
this winter. But durable usage means choosing a coat with attention to the
tiniest details for fear of needing to change it after one month.
THE
LENGTH
The long coat of the contemporary man
doesn’t touch the ground – far from it – the majority will wear the long coat
at mid-thigh. At this length, the shortest of us won’t have any risk of seeing
their silhouette minimized, and the tallest will see their silhouette enhanced
without much effort.
WHICH
FABRIC ?
A long coat means warmth, but also lets the
body breathe: to fulfill these conditions, natural materials like wool and
cashmere are supposed to be the best possible options. For those who are more
sensitive, add to the mix a collar or fur lining, ideal for remaining warm, or
even add a quilted vest under your long coat.
THE
DETAILS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Once the length and fabric conditions are
met, the choices still remain vast: in order to differentiate, the brands don’t
lack imagination in creating the long coat unique to their genre,
distinguishing themselves with subtle details which make all the difference. A
few of the accents really hit the mark: the oversized collared coat, the twin
fabric coat, and the camel remain the main victors of the season.
