Watch your Dress Watch

Dress watch – can be a classic thin case with a black or brown leather belt. Can be made of precious metal it’s simple and timeless. The sole function of the dress watch is to compliment a business suit or formal wear.

Dress watches aren’t even that concerned with accurate timekeeping, as many don’t even have second hands.

So what are the important features to look for then? Put simply, simplicity.

Practically speaking, a dress watch should be properly proportioned to the wearer’s wrist. Otherwise, it will draw attention to itself; the one thing a dress watch should never do.

Since it is worn with a suit, a dress watch must be thin enough to slip in and out of a dress shirt cuff easily. The standard rules of matching metals and leathers with shoes and belts apply as well.

The Ultimate Guide To Buy A Suit

Are you planning to shop for a wedding or have a business conference to catch? Is it going to be your first suit or are you adding to your collection? No matter what, the basics to buying a suit must be clear in order for you to pick your best match. There are a few things every man must know before buying a suit. A suit is not just an attire, it is the reflection of your persona. It definitely brings out the more gentleman side of you. Our ultimate guide will help you to buy a suit that’s perfect for you.

1. Go Bespoke

The word bespoke is derived from the verb bespoke which means to “speak for something”. Like its meaning, bespoke clothing actually speaks for you. It is made from scratch to your specifications. It offers a man full control. It includes handwork used entirely on all garments and attention to detail. Bespoke clothing comes with a large selection of fine quality fabrics. If you want a perfect fit and a detailed suit that speaks your style, bespoke clothing is just for you. With bespoke clothing, you have the power to wear your style matching the industry standards. It is made according to your body type, size, and fit. It is important to find an authentic and knowledgeable bespoke designer who will create your perfect bespoke suit.

2. Know Your Body Type

Knowing your body type will immensely help you to get the right suit. The kind of suit you buy must compliment your body type and enhance its strength. Following tips will help you choose the right type and pattern for your body type. ● Tall and skinny men can choose light-colored suits with heavier fabrics. They have the liberty to choose a suit jacket with three buttons with a single vent or no vent at all. They also have the option to wear double-breasted suit jackets. The trousers must have a longer rise (distance between the waistband and crotch). It will balance the proportion of the legs to the upper bodies. ● Short men can choose from a bunch of fabrics but should avoid loud patterns. The suit jacket can have 1 or 2 buttons with a vent on either side to add the illusion of length. The trousers must have a low rise to make the upper body appear longer. Vertical stripes are a good option as it makes them appear taller by drawing the eye upward.

● Bulky men should choose well-fitted suits with lightweight fabrics. They can choose dark colors with solid or vertical pinstripes that will make them look slimmer. The suit jacket can have 2 buttons and a single vent in the rear.

3. Measurements

When it comes to size, accuracy is very important. A well-fitted suit is the key to look perfect. To make sure the suit you buy fits you right, there are some specific measurements you must know or make sure is measured right. These are : ● Chest size ● Sleeves length ● Waist size ● Inseam size ● Height When it comes to shoulders, the suit’s shoulders must hug yours. The shoulder pads must not protrude beyond your own shoulders.

4. The Fabric

There are many fabrics options. Generally, silk, cashmere, linen or cotton are for hot weather. But the best option is always a nice woolen suit. Woolen fabrics are warm, have a natural elasticity, strong durability, drapes well, absorbs moisture and can be dyed easily. Wool is derived from animals such as sheep, goat, camel, llama, alpaca, etc. It is renowned for its warmth and crease resistance. There are some specific types of wool- Alpaca Fleece, Angora, Cashmere, Mohair, Camel Hair, Virgin Wool, Boiled Wool. The fabrics play a vital role in defining the quality of your suit. Suit fibers are rated by a ‘super number’ which represents how fine the fibers woven into the suit are. The higher the number, the thinner and smoother the fabrics are. If you invest in a good bespoke suit, you will find the fabrics coming from superior quality brands such as : ● Scabal ● Dormeuil ● Reda ● VBC(Vitale) ● Holland & Sherry ● Giorgio Cavalli ● Hugo ● Ermenegildo Zegna

5. Patterns

There are different suit patterns. Solid color suits are mostly one color with no patterns. Pinstripes are very thin, vertical, evenly spaced lines. A windowpane pattern is a square or rectangular pattern made using widely spaced horizontal and vertical stripes. A check pattern suit is like a windowpane pattern but the horizontal and vertical lines are more densely packed. Plaid check patterns are usually bold colors. The other popular patterns are houndstooth, Chalk-stripe flannel, Bird’s eye, Herringbone, Madras, Seersucker, etc. When you know the variety of patterns available, it is easier to select the right pattern for you. And you can always experiment with them.

6. Suit Types

Before you go hit the store or get ready for a custom made suit, you must be thorough with basic suit types. Suits can be one of the following : ● The single-breasted suit or the British style suit- has only one set of buttons and buttonholes, doesn’t overlap. ● The double-breasted Italian suit – has two front overlappings across the body with four or six-button options. It is mostly ventless with no flaps at the back ● The American suit – usually single-breasted with two or three buttons. It has a single vent in the back, low armholes and flap pockets. Pants are mostly full cut with no pleats. ● The oriental styled Mandarin suit – cut very closely to the body, gives a very clean and sharp look. It has a Nehru collar or the band collar and worn mostly with full buttons on.

7. Trials

After you got it all right, the last step is the final fit. Even if it is a custom made suit or off the racks, you need to try the suit after the alteration. The suit collar must hang such that a quarter-inch of your shirt collar is seen when you stand. The jacket armholes must be positioned right so that you can raise your arms over your head without the jacket riding up. Pants must be worn at the waist and fit the crotch area without bulging.

The pants must have only a small gap from the shoes. And don’t forget, comfort is the key. The perfect fit will always be according to your body type and size. You must be comfortable with it. If you are trying hard to fit in, it isn’t the right one for you. Now that you have learned the basics on how to buy a suit, we are sure you will find the perfect suit. Don’t forget to congratulate yourself after you have got your perfectly fitted suit. You have not just bought it, you have earned it.

9 tips to achieve an Effortless look by Armour Bespoke

Do you want to look the best version of yourself? At the same time, you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard? Effortless style means keeping it simple but at the same time stylish. Of course, it does require some kind of effort to look good. Like they say, ‘the first impression is the last impression’. Your appearance does play a great role in setting up your impression in front of others. Not only what you wear can make you confident but it also uplifts you to perform better in life may it be your professional or personal life. We have covered 9 tips on how to nail that effortlessly flawless look. Let’s begin!

● Keep It Simple

Simplicity is the best policy. It also works when it comes to clothes. Simple and elegant collection hardly goes out of style. If you have a plain black T-shirt or a cotton white shirt, be sure that both items are going to stay in your closet for a longer period of time. It’s the simple things you buy that lasts longer. Investing in some good quality shirts or plain T-shirts is a smart thing to do. You can team them up with a pair of denim or formal trousers for different occasions.

● Recognize Your Style

Whether you are the ‘suit and tie man’ or the ‘leather jacket and boots’ kind of a guy, it is important to find your basic style. Setting the basics right is the key towards achieving an effortless look. Fashion is not always what’s in this season, it is what makes you feel more ‘you’. Knowing what makes you comfortable and building your fashion sense around that will always add to your personality. You need not change yourself or go completely out of your style to fit in. Instead, find your own genre and keep adding to your collection.

● Fittings

Doesn’t matter what your style is, finding the right size for your body type is essential. A well-fitted shirt or suit will always make you look more of a gentleman. You should know your size and body type well and find clothes that fit you perfectly. Oversized clothes are sometimes cool but don’t go over the board with them. When it comes to formal wear, make sure both your upper and bottom wear is exactly the right size. A loosefitted shirt or suit is such a no-no! Your clothes should look like as if they were made just  for you.                         

● Accessorize

Wearing accessories is not just limited to women. Of course, you are not asked to try out messy bracelets or tacky gold rings. But a nice and classy watch can just do the right for you. Watches are to men what diamonds are to women. Investing in a quality brand watch like Rado, Rolex or Armani Exchange might not be a bad idea. It is one piece of accessory that can complement your outfit immensely. Even if you want to keep it budget-friendly and still play the game, there are many other brands like Fossil and Tommy Hilfiger that would do justice. You can also experiment with simple platinum, diamond or gold rings. But remember to keep it clean. Too many accessories often make a mess.

● Footwear Matters

Ladies do notice. Yes, I’m right! When it comes to footwear, keep it simple and classy! We have already covered all the shoes necessary in your footwear collection in one of our blogs. Click on the link to get started. A pair of oxfords will do justice to your classy formals. Same way, you need a pair of white sneakers to go with your pair of jeans and a T-shirt. It is just the combination of different shoes with different outfits to maintain that ‘go-to’ look. Not very effortlessly feasible but it does make you look effortlessly sharp.

● Colors

The most terrible mistake a man can commit when it comes to fashion is mix-matching colors that don’t go well with each other. You can’t really wear a bright yellow T-shirt, some baggy jeans and red shoes. No! Color combination is the secret to effortless style. A white T-shirt, blue denim and a pair of nice sneakers can do the magic. The same way a white shirt with grey trousers and black or brown oxfords can be the answer. Experimenting is good but going too loud with colors might make you look like a fashion disaster. Effortless style is obviously about what you love to wear and what makes youcomfortable. But gentlemen, be careful when you play with the color palette.

 ● Invest In A Good Suit

When it comes to attending a board conference or standing as the best man at your pal’s wedding, you need to look dashing and smart. One good bespoke suit is an asset, trust me! Bespoke clothing is made just for you according to your preference and style. It fits you like no other suit that you buy off the shelves can. It is an investment and will hardly ever go out of style. Imagine walking into a party and spotting someone wearing almost the same blazer as you. Bespoke clothing will save you from that. Locate the best bespoke designer near you and get your suits made. You will never regret that decision.

● Fitness Is The Key

We have already emphasized on how having a physically fit body makes you look effortlessly good. Stay Fit And Look Chic . When you are healthy and fit, you automatically feel good about yourself and glow from within. That charm can’t be ignored. The happier you are inside, the more radiant you look outside. A fit body can carry different styles and outfits. It is an extra privilege that you get from all the hard work you have done on your body. Fitting into clothes is much easier and you look good no matter what you wear. Of course, keep the guidelines in mind.

● A Good Hairstyle

Hairstyle often makes a difference. The way you do your hair adds a lot of factor to your clothes. Keeping it clean and trimmed is always recommended. But it actually depends on the way you carry yourself. Even if you have long hair and can nail that classic man bun look, nothing like it. From David Beckham to Ryan Gosling, there are many hairstyles to experiment with. Make sure you keep in mind your face type before going for a haircut. Your hairstylist can play a vital role here in getting you the perfect hairstyle you need.

 Besides all the tips and tricks, the most important thing is to stay happy. To take styling seriously is a good thing. It will help you discover and create your own persona. But taking it too seriously will make you overly conscious. Don’t stress yourself too much. Take it easy and have fun while you bring out the best version of yourself.
