Choosing Formal Wear For Men Properly And With Ease
by Divya S. Content WriterIndia is a country that is proud of its
heritage and why shouldn’t that be, when there are so many cultures woven
together? This boils down to a great number of choices available to men and
women with regards to clothing and dressing. While formal
dress for men in western countries means tuxedos and jackets in dark
colours, in India, formalwear can mean anything between blazers and suits to
Kurtas and Sherwanis. With so much choice, it can be overwhelming to decide
what to wear. Here are some ideas for formal dress for men.
Dress for the occasion
Ultimately, it is about dressing
appropriately for the occasion. When you are deciding what to wear, always
think about what others would be wearing for the occasion. If you have been
invited to a wedding, then Indian formalwear makes a lot of sense. Of course,
you could go with western attire as well like a suit. For a fancy party that
calls for formalwear, you could choose to team a blazer with a formal trouser
and shirt combo. For a boardroom meeting, nothing speaks more class than
dark-coloured formal pants and a light-coloured shirt.
Match but not all the time
With men, it is easy to fall into the
trap of matching clothes all the time. It is no doubt convenient to do so when
all you need to do is dress and go out of the door for the day, but thinking
out of the box can be fun too. For example, formal
wear for men, the suit can be a ubiquitous choice for many people but
that does not mean you have to match everything. Choose a bold-colour formal
shirt to go with a neutral shade suit to stand out in the crowd. It is not only
going to make you look different from the rest, but you will also be having fun
in the process.
High-quality accessories
Though women have a lot more to choose
from when it comes to accessories, men too can opt for better quality
accessories in today’s times. Belts and shoes are the two things that a man
absolutely needs to invest wisely in. A few years ago, the watch was an
essential item in a man’s wardrobe but with the advent of smartphones, the
watch has become something of a dinosaur. The belt is something that is best
kept traditional with formal
shirts for men. Leather belts look good and it is best to stay away
from ornate buckles and strangely-coloured products. They make no sense in a formal
setting. Invest in high-quality dress shoes which are also known as formal
shoes. They will serve you well for a long time and they will go with all your
workwear.
Good brands
Always try to buy from known good
brands. India has a very good number of great brands catering to men’s formal
and semi formalwear. But you should select a brand that is known for its styles
as well as quality of materials and stitching. Whether it is formal shirts or
formal trousers, good brands will fetch you returns because they will last for
a long time and also keep looking nice till the end.
Fitted but not tight
With men’s formal clothing, the right
fitting does not mean ‘’too tight’’. For some time, people were obsessed with
‘’fitted clothes’’ which made movement difficult but not anymore. Comfortable
attire that fits well to the body of the person wearing it is the best.
Take proper care
Always keep your formalwear collection
neatly laundered and pressed. Make it a habit to do this every week so that you
are never short of formalwear on mornings when you want to get dressed up.
Formal shirts and suits should be kept in wardrobes with wooden hangers so that
they keep their fall well.
