Mens Sharkskin Suits

Every man should own at least one suit. Mens Sharkskin suits are one option, but knowing more about buying suits can help you pick the right sharkskin suit for you. Getting a tailor made suit is optimal, but not everyone can afford that and there are plenty of suits you can buy retail that will look just as good.

Mens Sharkskin Suits

Fabric
Naturally you can choose sharkskin for your suit, but if you don’t want a shark skin suit opt for a wool suit. Wool is natural and it breathes well. Wool is also stylish. Tweed can add weight and it is not breathable so it can cause you to overheat.

Single VS Double Breasted
If you have a slender physique you can wear both single or double breasted. If you are heavy set you should opt for a single breasted suit. Double breasted jackets are more formal.

Collar
The collar of your suit should hug the back of your neck. Your shirt should stick out from your collar about 1 inch.

Arms and Sleeves
The sleeve of your suit coat should end where your hand meets your wrist. Your shirt should be a quarter of an inch longer than your suit jacket sleeve.

Buttons
It is generally best to chose a suit with two buttons. One button suits look best on men that have a slender physique. Avoid three button jackets because they are not in fashion anymore.

Vents
If you have a slender build you should opt for a jacket that has no vents. If you are larger in build choose a jacket with two vents in the back.

When you are shopping for a dress shirt you can’t go wrong with a solid color. This is particularly true if you are on a budget because a solid color shirt is more versatile than a print. If you decide to buy a solid color shirt choose one that is made form 100 percent cotton because the color won’t bleed when you wash it the way a polyester shirt will.

If you want to infuse some personality into your wardrobe than you should consider buying some print dress shirts. Prints can add flair and sophistication into an otherwise bland wardrobe. Higher quality prints are woven into the design so they won’t fade with washing. Woven prints are richer and more textural.

When you pick a dress shirt it can be difficult to know which prints or colors go best with your suit. Black goes well with all colors and prints so if you have a black suit you can pick the shirt you like the best without worrying it will clash. If your suit is another color just try to stick colors that go well with your suit. You want to stick with an even color palate so your outfit doesn’t clash. Always remember white goes with everything and a good white shirt is a must have staple for every wardrobe.

Mens Checkered Pattern Shirts

Before you go out and start shopping for mens checkered pattern shirts you need to know what to look for. Checkered patterns don’t work with all suits, so knowing how to shop for a dress shirt is really important. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when you start shopping for mens dress shirts.

Mens Checkered Pattern Shirts

Step 1
Choose a color. If you are buying a shirt for a job interview you should pick a solid color shirt in a more muted tone. If you are just buying a shirt for fashion you can go with bolder colors and patterns. Light blue is a good color for a job interview. Bright green or pink is a more fashionable choice.

Step 2
Solid color shirts are considered a wardrobe staple, but patterns dress up your wardrobe a bit. If you are going somewhere professional choose a simple pattern like stripes or checkered prints. Fancy prints are good for less formal occasions that are not business related.

Step 3
There are different styles of shirts that you can chose from. To go with a trendy look choose a tapered cut shirt. To go with a more classic look chose a standard full cut shirt. A tailored slim fit dress shirt will be more form fitting around your chest and sides. A standard fit dress shirt will be slightly baggy, but it will have more of a classic look.

Step 4
The last thing you need to consider is fabric. Linen shirts are good for warmer weather because they breathe well. That said linen can tend to wrinkle easy. Cotton is good for any weather. It maintains its shape and it is breathable.

Tips for Buying a Suit for a Larger Man

Suits come in single breasted and double breasted. Larger men tend to look better in a single breasted suit.

  • Instead of going for a suit with a belt opt for a suit with suspenders.
  • Don’t wear pants that have cuffs. Instead opt for pants with pleats.
  • Don’t get loud with your dress shirt choices. Opt for solid colors or subtle patterns.
  • Consider wearing a vest with your suit because it will help slim your profile.
  • Choose medium sized tie knots and stay away from cutaway shirts.

A single breasted suit with notched lapels is much more flattering to a larger silhouette. The ideal jacket will have two or three buttons. To keep things proportionate choose lapels that are between 8 and 10 cm. Opt for no vents on the jacket. Suspenders will give you more room so you can move comfortably and they will keep your pants from falling down.

When it comes time to pick colors for your suit choose navy or charcoal. Opt for a white, or light blue shirt. Keep the tie simple as to not draw attention to your midsection.
