If you don't have an Italian suit, as a man, you really should. Italian suits can make a statement unlike anything else you own. Without saying a word, you come across as driven, powerful, and virile. Not only are they classically beautiful, but they are a very good investment, since they will make a statement for you when you attend big events. The best suits you can own, in my opinion, are those made by the Italian designers. It's very easy today to find the right one for you. Here are some tips to follow.
You can find a good Italian suit from Gucci, Armani, or Dolce, for example. These will cost you around $ 1100 - $ 1500 a piece, so make sure that your investment is worth it.
Choose the right style
The first thing to remember when you buy an Italian suit is to choose the right style. One of the things to consider is the number of buttons on the suit. One classic is the two-button suit. Not only is it timeless, but it fits most body types.
A more modern approach would be the one-button suit. In a marketing or advertising environment, this is a very stylish choice.
A rule thumb for this is that the more buttons there are, the less shirt and tie you'll see underneath. Therefore, more buttons make a more classic look, while fewer buttons mean a more modern look.
Choosing your favorite designer
If your style happens to be that you are a trendsetter, then you might want to choose Versace. This is also a good choice if you simply need a classic look, since Versace happens to fit this look as well.
Are you an actor or musician? Then you might prefer a Gucci suit. These designer suits look well with all sorts of accessories to complete the outfit.
Looking for luxury or a bit more of a "noble" look? Then choose Gabbana or Dolce.
Prada is a much more "sober" look compared to other designers. Its clothing is mostly done in black and gray, for either sex. It is simple and uses only the best material, but its design is still innovative.
Look for the perfect fit
You should try to customize your Italian suit, because this can cost as little as $40. This is not much to spend to get your best look for such an investment. Your sleeves should be resting just on top of your thumb bone. You should be showing just a little bit of your shirt cuff. Your trousers should always touch the floor when you're not wearing shoes, or the heel top of your shoe when you are.
Some of the best and most well-wearing fabrics are the Super Wool 120, 140, or 150. These wool grades have the proper amount of weight so that the material drapes very well, is highly durable, and is also suitable for summer wear.
It's also a good choice for those on a budget, because it can be worn year-round. Look for sales to save extra money, but don't go for a vintage suit. Why?
Vintage Italian suits will often not have the proper fit. In general, most people cannot purchase a suit off the rack, and will need some type of adjustment. For best effect (especially if you're going to spend a fair amount of money) get your suit adjusted to you so that it fits you like a glove.
Choosing the right color and pattern
In general, the most important colors for 2008 and 2009 will be black, navy, taupe, and slate gray. In addition, the tie is important. For this, medium width is best.
You can't go wrong with an Italian suit for just about any occasion. They're timeless and should be part of every man's wardrobe. And the best part is, if you choose the right one for you, yours will last a lifetime.
