When To Wear A Suit and When Not To
Which style Mens Suit is right for you?
There are basically three types of suits with plenty of crossovers.
- The European Italian Suit
- The British Suit
- The American Suit
Things to take into consideration when choosing a suit:
A suit must be appropriate to a region or industry. "What works in financial services in major
metropolitan areas is not going to work out so well in the middle of small town USA, The light blues,
greens and beiges one can get away with in the entertainment and the fashion industry might not
work in financial services, where dark solids, pinstripes and subtle patterns still are the top
choices. Similarly, the brighter colors and more creative styles of the West Coast look awkward
and out of place at an East Coast business meeting.
These days men are more selective about when and where to wear a suit as many work places have
become more relaxed with style of dress.
