HOW TO WEAR SUIT CORRECTLY? #WEARITRIGHT

Wearing a suit is more than just putting on a jacket and trousers—it’s about mastering a look that exudes confidence, style, and professionalism. Whether for work, a wedding, or an important meeting, knowing how to wear a suit correctly can make all the difference. Here’s your quick guide to #WearItRight and stand out with sophistication brought you by Bennevis Fashion.

 1. Button It Up Properly

Knowing when to button your jacket is crucial:

For a two-button jacket, always button the top button when standing and leave the bottom unbuttoned.

For a three-button jacket, you can button the middle one, and sometimes the top button, but never the bottom.

Always unbutton when sitting down to avoid creases and strain on the fabric.

 2. Choose the Right Shirt and Tie

A crisp, well-fitted dress shirt complements your suit perfectly. Stick to classic colors like white, light blue or soft pastels for versatility. Your tie should contrast nicely but not clash — think solid colors, subtle patterns, or classic stripes.

Let Bennevis help you to pair right shirt with the right tie.

3. Avoid Looking like you're Choking Yourself.

Your shirt collar should feel comfortable; you should be able to fit two fingers between your neck and the collar. Keep in mind that shirts can shrink over time, so opting for a slightly wider collar will ensure that it fits comfortably.

4. Make sure your Tie Touches the Belt

Always when you suit up ensure that the tip of the tie, ends at the tip of your belt, not longer than that. Hide your shirt buttons behind your tie.

This kind of sharp detail is what makes every Bennevis Fashion suit look stylish and ready to impress.

5. Keep your Socks Hidden

Always wear trousers that fit you well, not too short and not too long. Ensure the trousers rest neatly on the top of your shoes.

6. Get the Right Fit

The foundation of wearing a suit correctly is the fit. A suit that’s too tight looks uncomfortable; too loose looks sloppy. Focus on these key areas:

Shoulders: The jacket’s shoulder seams should align perfectly with your natural shoulder edges. This is non-negotiable.

Chest and Waist: The jacket should hug your torso without pulling or sagging. You should be able to button comfortably without strain.

Sleeves: Jacket sleeves should end just above your wrist bone, allowing about half an inch of your shirt cuff to show.

Trousers: They should sit comfortably on your waist, with a slight break over your shoes—neither too long nor too short.

At Bennevis every suit is designed with meticulous tailoring in mind. Even off-the-rack suits can look amazing after some adjustments.

7. Mind the Details

Shoes: Match your shoes to your suit color, black for navy or charcoal, brown for lighter grays or earth tones.

Accessories:  Keep it minimal. A sleek watch, a pocket square, and a belt that matches your shoes will elevate your look without overwhelming it.   

8. Confidence Is Key

Lastly, wear your suit with confidence. Good posture, a genuine smile, and self-assurance complete the look. When you feel good, you look good.

Mastering these basics will have you #WearItRight every time you suit up. Remember, a well-worn suit is not just clothing, it’s a statement. Count on Bennevis Fashion to dress you right and leave a lasting impression.
