The modern appearance of a businessman is generally characterized by restraint and conciseness combined with practicality.
Main attributes of business style
The basic men's wardrobe consists of several mandatory elements: suit, shirt, tie. This is the basis of the image, which is complemented with functional accessories.
For a businessman, it is desirable to have at least three sets designed for different occasions. Preferred shades are gray, blue, dark brown, beige. A print of thin lines in the form of a cage or stripes is possible.
The fabrics chosen are high-quality, wrinkle-resistant with a matte finish. “The main thing is that the suit fits” - remember the phrase from the immortal Soviet film? A business person should strictly follow this rule. Impeccable cut, high-quality processing of details, perfect fit - all this ensures the convenience and comfort of an office suit.
There should be at least a dozen different shirts in the closet. The colors of the shirt are chosen lighter than the darkest thread of the suit. It is advisable to buy products made from a plain fabric, although barely noticeable stripes or small checks are considered acceptable.
The collar of the shirt on the neck should peek out from behind the jacket by 1-1.5 cm. If a finger fits under it freely, then the size was chosen correctly. It is considered normal for the cuffs to protrude from the cuff of the jacket by about 1.5-2 cm.
The color scheme should be slightly darker than the shirt and provide a slight contrast with it and the suit. Silk models are chosen exclusively for special occasions. It is considered normal when the width of the tie matches the size of the lapels of the jacket.
The tie is tied so that the lower end touches the belt buckle. The size and shape of the knot depend on the type of shirt collar and are dictated by the requirements of current fashion.
Shoes are chosen only of good quality with a minimum number of details. The classic option is dark oxford shoes.
Well-chosen accessories help complete the finished look. Beautiful branded watch, leather belt, a stylish briefcase, a convenient organizer - all these details clearly characterize its owner. Avoid pretentious and extravagant things, try to have elegant restraint in your appearance.
The optimal color of the suit is gray and its shades. It goes with any shirts, ties, accessories. The result is an everyday suit for universal use. For important or evening events, choose dark colors of clothing. This gives the look more severity and elegance.
A set of three elements (suit, shirt, tie) is a strict corporate style. In practice, it is not found in every company. Many enterprises declare a conventional business style that allows for democratic images.
In such cases, you can go without a jacket and tie, and wear good jeans instead of trousers. In general, it is not so important what exactly you wear to work, the main thing is that things are always clean and ironed, and that your shoes look well-groomed.
A strict image is appropriate in a particularly solemn situation. In this case, the dress code requires a tailcoat or tuxedo. Their necessity is indicated in advance in the invitation flyer. Black tie or black tie means you need to wear a tuxedo. White tie is a white tie, which means come in a tailcoat.
Tuxedo is a black wool pair. The jacket greatly exposes the chest and the collar is lined with silk. The same fabric has stripes on the trousers and a wide belt. They wear a dazzling look with a tuxedo. white shirt with a stand-up collar and a black bow tie. For formal events held in the summer, a light jacket is allowed.
Tailcoat is a three-piece evening suit with an unusual cut of a black jacket. The front flaps are cut short, and the backs have long, narrow tails. The white vest fits tightly to the body and is fastened with three buttons. The trousers have satin stripes. The tailcoat includes a white bow tie and patent leather shoes. In addition, white gloves and a pocket watch on a chain are required.
A properly shaped business suit is quite capable of hiding body imperfections. If a man has a disproportionate build and a corpulent figure, it is worth turning to the services of a tailor. A good specialist will be able to make clothes taking into account physiological characteristics.
If at first you have difficulty developing a business style, we recommend paying attention to photos of famous and successful people. Entire teams of stylists, fashion designers, and makeup artists work on the images of famous politicians, businessmen, and senior executives. Take note of the different details of the suit: style, length, cut features. Pay attention to accessories, shoes, haircut. The appearance of a business person is made up of little things, and there are never too many of them.
