How to Take Care of Your Suit: A Gentleman’s Guide

A well-fitted suit  is more than just clothing—it’s a statement of style, professionalism, and confidence. Whether it's bespoke, embroidered, or a tuxedo, proper care is essential to maintain your suit’s sharp appearance and extend its life. Here’s a practical guide to keeping your suit—look fresh, crisp, and timeless.

 1. Rotate and Rest

Avoid wearing the same suit two days in a row. Suits, especially wool or velvet pieces, need time to rest. Giving them at least a day or two between wears allows the fabric to breathe and recover its shape. If you wear suits often, invest in a few quality pieces and rotate them throughout the week—a principle Bennevis Fashion advises its every customer

2. Always Use a Good Hanger

Use a broad-shouldered hanger that mimics the natural shape of your shoulders. This helps your jacket retain its form and prevents unwanted creases. For trousers, use a clamp hanger or fold them over a bar hanger to keep them smooth and neat.

 3. Brush and Air It Out

After each wear, gently brush your fashion suit with a clothing brush to remove surface dirt, lint, and dust. Hang it in a well-ventilated area (not a closet) for a few hours to air out and release any trapped odors. Avoid using fabric fresheners or perfumes directly on the fabric.

Bennevis Fashion’s expert stylists recommend brushing your office Suits regularly to maintain its finish and preserve delicate fibers.

 4. Steam, Don’t Iron

Ironing can damage the delicate fibers of your designer suit for men, especially around the lapels, embroidery, and seams. Use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles safely. If you must iron, place a cloth between the iron and your suit to protect the fabric and stitching.

5. Dry Clean Sparingly

Dry cleaning uses harsh chemicals that can wear down your suit over time. Only dry clean your embroidered suits when stained or after several wears—typically every 4 to 6 uses. Always go to a trusted cleaner that specializes in suits for men.

 6. Store with Care

Use a breathable garment bag to store your fashion suits for men long-term. Avoid plastic covers, which trap moisture and lead to mildew. Keep your wardrobe space dry, cool, and dark to prevent fading and fabric deterioration.
