Double Trouble in the land of Invisible Men in Grey Suits
- all my life I was told men of my height (5’7” on the day when the the wind is good) should not wear DB suits.. So much so that I believed them.
- It was not until the last year or so that I started to apply balance & proportion that I was able to convince myself that I & others of my stature can wear a DB
- In my case the bottom 4 buttons are closer, the breast buttons are actually lower than my nipple, the breast pocket set higher & the waisting is also about 1.5” above my natural waist to create an illusion of length & space
- please excuse the disappearing shirt cuffs, not sure what happened as they were there before the pic & after..
Though some rules:
- keep it classic & simple
- stick to dark colors
- keep it classic & simple
- try & not split unless you are blessed with good body to leg proportions
- keep it classic & simple
- apply level logic to the placement on buttons & pockets
- keep it classic & simple
- ensure the lapels to not swallow your head & chest
- keep it classic & simple
- make sure the pants have minimal break
- keep it classic & simple
- make sure the sleeves meet the wrist bone flex point
- keep it classic & simple
- find the balance of the length of the jacket as there is no hard & fast rule, just make sure it covers you seat
- & keep it classic & simple
- in answer to the response re my tie, I like my ties skewed as I find the symmetrical or Windsor knots & eye-sore. Just how I roll same as my 5cm or 2” cuffs, not for all but for me
What do you think?
