Grooming & Etiquette (Dressing tips "MEN")

DRESSING TIPS (MEN)



Shoes

  • Should be black or brown of minor variation.
  • Avoid beige or white shoes.
  • Scuffed or unpolished shoes spoil your image.
  • Shoes colour for formal wear should not be lighter than pants.


Socks

  • Men's socks cover more than just the ankle.
  • Bare flesh showing beneath trouser bottom is unattractive.
  • Choose plain or with a muted pattern.
  • Avoid white socks except for sports wear.
  • Match your shoes to your pants or your shoes.


Suits

  • Single-breasted suits come with 1, 2 or 3 buttons.
  • Suits with 2 buttons, the 2nd button is left undone.
  • Double-breasted suit is more formal.


Cuffs

  • 1/4" - 1/2" shirt cuffs should extend below jacket sleeve.


Pocket

  • Do not everload
  • Pocket hanky - choose the dominant colour of the colourful tie.


Glasses

  • Frames should not match face shapes. E.g; Round frames on round face are unsuitable.


Belts

  • Match belt with the colour of your shoes.
  • Fabric belts are to be worn with casual only.
  • Choose leather for formal wear.
  • Wear brown belt to match or tan pants and black belt with black, blue or grey pants.


Ties

  • Nectie is an accesory that spices your attire.
  • Avoid extremes in width and length.
  • Choose medium width, silk ties for business wear.
  • Ideally, the bottom tip of the ties should just touch the top of your belt.


POCKETS

Too many men load their pockets so full that their suit looks terrible. Here are some advices on what to carry where:

Inside Breast Pocket

  • A slim diary
  • Envelope style wallet with credit cards and notes
  • A slim note pad and/or calculator
  • A pen set


Outside Breast Pocket

  • A silk pocket-handkerchief only


Outside Front Pockets

  • Business card holder
  • Nothing else aside from the odd notes


Side Trouser Pockets

  • Loose change
  • A few essential keys


Back Trouser Pockets

  • A slim wallet (in lieu of carrying it in the breast pocket) but only if you are blessed with a flat bottom.
