Men's Clothes
1. Suits:
When purchasing a suit, go all out for navy or dark colored suit- because it serves dual purposes- in the sense that, it is appropriate for day time activities like work and occasions. In most business settings, the classic professional look for a man is a navy blue or medium-grey wool or wool blend suit, a white stiff-collared dress shirt, and a simple patterned or striped tie. This would serve a man well at any formal setting.

A more high-styled version of this would be a blue shirt, a brighter, more distinctive tie or matching pocket handkerchief. The navy colored suit has slimming and flattering effect on practically any body shape. The suit can be worn over a pair of jeans with a white dress shirt, or any other item in your wardrobe. With the suit you are well covered whether for an interview, an evening or cocktail party.

2. A Dress Shirt:
A dress shirt is a must have for every guy’s ward robe. Dress shirts should be cotton or cotton blend. These materials look more professional than silk or synthetic fabrics, and they breathe better. Collars should be plain, and either button-down, or thick and stiff.


The most professional look consistently has been a mid-length pointed collar. Pick out colors like blue and white, because these colors pair up with practically every item in your wardrobe, a black shirts work well with a lighter colored tie. White shirts offer a wider array of choices, as anything goes with white. Fashionable colors include all shades of brown, slate blues, navy blues, pale blues, black, and pure white. These color choices are easy to work with and very versatile.
 
A pale brown shirt will look fantastic with a chocolate brown tie. Mix a gray shirt with a slate blue tie and you will look amazing. It is advisable to start with a neutral shades and then add complementary colors later. Each shirt in the wardrobe does not need to be of the same outline, design or color. There should be a little variation.

One should keep in mind that designs are dependent of fabrics. Always wear an undershirt to cover perspiration and transparency. Men's dress shirts should be long-sleeved. French cuffs are considered trendy and formal — if you do wear this type of shirt wear them with simple gold, silver or stone cufflinks. Your shirt should be long enough that at least one, or preferably two buttons fall below the belt line. This will keep the shirt from coming untucked.
 
Collars should be loose enough to put two fingers comfortably between the collar and your neck, but not so loose that they show any significant space between the collar and your neck when you stand.

3. Casual Wears:
For a smart casual wear, you can’t go wrong with a Polo shirt- It does not have to be a designer piece, so you don’t have to worry about causing a dent in your budget. An inexpensive one will just about create the same effect as long as it sits well on you.

The effect of a polo shirt on jeans is dazzling, when it is just the right size and it fits properly. On weekends the polo shirt is an amazing choice for a causal outing. - For a semi formal outing, a blazer on top the shirt is all you need to create an ensemble that exudes elegance and style.
