How To Suit Up by Samuel King







Good day beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen,my dear FRIENDS. Today I have titled this article How To Suit Up. Although it is more of a guy know how but this is knowledge for all.
When I was younger I use to admire those who wore suit,funny enough I thought anybody who wore a suit was a Pastor lol now I know better. There is no doubt that the habit of putting on a suit would be a "main say" come what may in the fashion trend. People will always stand out with the right pair of suit. Not every body likes to put on suits but at some point we all do,maybe not for the ladies but for the guys,yes. Now, how do we wear it right? Some people might agree with me that it is not always about who is wearing the suit or who designed the suit but about who wore it right. It could be to the office, you need to wear it right. It probably might be to the Church, it needs to send the right message. It could be to a wedding,dinner,fashion event,wherever you go, for what ever reason. It is reasonable that when you put on a suit you wear it right and this write up should guide you to a large extent on how to Suit up right.

 
Regarding fit: Pictured is how a Suit should fit. Concerning length: A suit is like a good lawyer; it should cover your ass( Am sure those who watch the tv series Suit have an idea of how lawyers cover peoples ass). Some say that it should reach your knuckles, but this assumes the length of your arms is normal. The first or second button on your suit depending on the type of suit should be just above your belly-button (never below)With your arms at your sides, the sleeves should cover the wrist bone, and no more. (Note that your dress shirt will have 1-2cm longer sleeves, which allows you to "show some cuff")While buttoned, the jacket should not pull across the chest (signified by the fabric making an "X" shape at your sternum). Similarly, it should not pull across the shoulders when arms are folded. The shoulder seam should lie on the edge of your shoulder. Avoid any bends, or divots between the shoulder and the sleeve. This is signified by an indentation seen just below the shoulder seam or shoulder pad. There should be minimal buckling, the sleeve should be smooth at the shoulder. You simply want to reduce the amount of buckling, and you want to make sure there are absolutely no wrinkles or divots while your arms are down at your sides. About 2 or 3cm of shirt collar should be revealed by the jacket collar. Holding your hand flat, you should easily be able to fit it inside the jacket under the lapels. However it should be slim to the chest - there shouldn't be an air pocket there. Similarly to shirts, armholes must be sufficiently high. The arms should move somewhat independently of the jacket during normal motions. If holding your arms out at 45 degrees causes the bottom of your suit to rise significantly, your armholes are likely too low. The sleeves should not restrain your movement. For those that like it all tight and macho note, however, that you're not doing acrobatics in a suit. You should have it at the back of you mind that if you put on a tight wear not just suit,you would be uncomfortable for the duration you put on that wear. Too bad if you have to wear it for hours. Alternatively, the armholes should not be cutting into your armpit. If a jacket doesn't fit your shape properly, sometimes the bottoms will flare out and you won't look all tidy. Believe me on this "if you do it right as I have written,you won't go wrong when it comes to putting on a suit and feeling comfortably confident" Have a wonderful day,and remember this: Before you put on an uncomfortable wear. Ask yourself do I really want to feel uncomfortable for the next few hours or more? More pictures below of Suited people.
