Most of all, the important aspect in the look is the hairstyle. It needs to be well-groomed to go with the suit because no matter how classy the suit is, an unkempt do will ruin it all. It might be a look for your usual ensemble. But with a suit, a groomed coiffure is a must. This goes for the beard and the nails. Cleanly groomed presentation of yourself is key.

The recent trend is those snugly-fit suit but that has to match with your body size. A suit should never be too tight. It’s unfortunate if you feel constrained and all you think about is going home and taking it off. That slight roominess in the suit size does wonders to its dignity. For color, definitely navy or grey.

For ties, I recommend a regimental or a plain. If you don’t own that many, just one plain navy and one plain grey will do. I personally like a chic look where you put on a navy tie with a navy suit. It’s low-key but has the most noble look.

The balance above the bust is key to a suit. Choose a tie with the same width as the lapel of the jacket. The balance goes off if you have a skinny tie to a wide lapel as well as a fat tie to a skinny lapel. The plain knot is fine but make sure it’s tight as it can come loose. I always have a white pocket square which just sharpens the entire look.

For trousers, the length really defines the silhouette. Not too long, not too short or it just ruins the beautiful tapered line. Make sure you have your shoes on when you are being measured. A double-pleated trouser should come down just to touch the arch of your shoes without a cushion. For single-pleated trousers, a bit of cushion is recommended. Fix the height of the waist, then when you put your hands in your pocket, make sure that the trouser doesn’t come up too high to reveal your ankles.

Another important aspect of a suit fashion is the socks. It doesn’t show when you are standing but as soon as you sit down, you don’t want to be caught wearing a mismatched pair. You have to have the basic colors of black, navy, and grey. Try to choose the same color as your suit and a longer one so when you cross your legs, it doesn’t reveal your leg hair.

Finally, a suit will keep its beauty only with care. When you put the suit on a hanger after a day, you’ll notice the creases in the back, shoulder area, inner elbow area, as well as the back of the knees. Give it a good brushing to brush off any dust and iron to take out the creases. This goes for the tie, too.
