advantages and features

It is one thing to dress even though a brand but a regular suit, which was sewn to certain general standards, without taking into account the peculiarities of your figure, and another matter is your suit in all senses of the word.

Stylish men’s clothing is the phrase that Italian tailors are often associated with. For more than several decades, they have been able to maintain leadership positions when it comes to buying men’s clothing. One can write about the secrets of production, talented designers and brand creators for a long time, but almost all Italian workshops are more or less able to sew quality things, bringing the men’s clothing style to unattainable heights.
It is generally accepted that there is no difference what label is on the lining of your jacket if it was made in Italy. And we are forced to say that that is quite alright.

It’s time to summarize all that is known and find out what is still the main buck of Italians.
The main features are the following principles: no wrinkles on the trousers’ bottom; jacket sleeves are short enough to see the cuff of the shirt; slim-fit trousers; stylish accessories: watches, cufflinks; fitted silhouette, often wide lapels; no suit jacket vents; a different color palette, a tendency to reject the classic black.

English style
English classical clothing, first of all, is about simplicity and practicality, conservatism and efficiency. It is considered a kind of standard official dress code. It is known that a stylish men’s fashion image is an indicator of presentability and success. It can reflect the tastes of a real gentleman, his lifestyle and indicate high social affiliation. The owner of such clothes is a reliable, confident man with high ambitions and great achievements.
Key features: small shoulder pads; a straight or slightly adjacent silhouette; the presence of lapels (thin, with a neckline or without it); two suit jacket vents; minimalism in detail, buttons in the color of the suit; high-waisted trousers; men’s three-piece suit is very popular; particular attention to the length of the trousers (socks should not be noticeable when standing); shirt cuffs should be visible; suspenders are often used (in combination with a belt it may not be worn); the vest in a two-piece suit is a slim-fit and hides the belt or waist; the color of the belt must match the color of the shoes; restrained, discreet tones.
The restraint in the choice of color deserves special attention. Most often it is black, gray, and brown. Given the history of England, there is also a checkered fabric thanks to the Scottish native ornaments. When speaking on accessories, namely a tie, it is almost the only thing that conservatism and strict rules do not apply to. Stylish men can choose both discreet and flashy colors. It should be noted that the modern tendency to express one’s personality has somewhat softened the strict rules of wearing.

Smart casual
This style of men`s clothing has become one of the most preferred. And if in the female version it is important to look brilliant, then here it can be characterized in three words: comfortable, casual and elegant. Its essence lies in the competent combination of classic wardrobe items and modern garment. This is a kind of a restraint and formality mix. However, not everything can be worn together, but as in any direction, there are limits to what is permissible. For instance, you can’t wear a jacket with sweatpants. However, one should to wisely wear even those wardrobe items that seem quite appropriate.
And so, a smart casual for men is a great option for everyday wear, including an office, where a dress code is required. It is chosen by active, confident people who know that appearance is a part of their overall image. Consider the basic principles:
Flexibility. Even with a basic set of things, one can experiment with a combination. For example, there are no strict laws for wearing one or another shirt.
Moderation. Anything bright, shiny is not allowed. Minimalism in details, e.g. a classic watch as an accessory. The balance between negligence and restraint. A smart casual look should be presentable and beautiful.
Neatness. Clothes must be clean and not crumpled. Negligence, in turn, means a slightly loose blazer, not tucked in shirt, opened jacket, rolled up sleeves.
Convenience. Uncomfortable things are immediately ruled out. The movements must not be constrained so that a man, as in the classic Hollywood film, ought to be ready to put his bag on the ground and at any moment go in pursuit.
