Suits For Men

     A suit is a symbol of a man.A man will be more handsome if he takes the suit.

     History:

     The suit is a traditional form of men’s formal clothes in the Western world. For some four hundred years, suits of matching coat, trousers, and waistcoat have been in and out of fashion. The modern lounge suit’s derivation is visible in the outline of the brightly-coloured, elaborately-crafted royal court dress of the 17th century (suit, wig, knee breeches), which was shed because of the French Revolution. This evolution is seen more recently in British tailoring’s use of steam and padding in moulding woolen cloth, the rise and fall in popularity of the necktie, and the gradual disuse of waistcoats and hats in the last fifty years.

     The modern lounge suit appeared in the late 19th century, but traces its origins to the simplified, sartorial standard of dress established by the British king Charles II in the 17th century. In 1666, the restored monarch, Charles II, per the example of King Louis XIV’s court at Versailles, decreed that in the English Court men would wear a long coat, a waistcoat (then called “petticoat”), a cravat (a precursor of the necktie), a wig, and knee breeches (trousers), and a hat.

     Style:

     Mens Suit Styles are not all that complicated. The main thing you really need to know is that there are four main styles. Everything else is just a hodgepodge of the 4 mixed up so you can’t tell. We have American suits,English suits, Mandarin suits, and the Italian suit.

     The Italian style is a double breasted suit and is usually a good choice for very tall men.

     The British style is single breasted and gives off a more regal look than its counterparts.

     The American style is the most relaxed of the four and gives off a younger image.

    The Mandarin suit is the most unique of the four as it is influenced by more traditional eastern cultures.

     Which style you choose is really a matter of preference. One has to consider his body type, personal style, and where he plans to wear the suit.

     Knowing what you are looking for will put you in a better buying position and reduce the feeling of helplessness that many people get when spending large amounts of money on something they really know almost nothing about
