This applies to all suit buttons. You must never do your bottom button up, it really annoys me when i see people do this, and all buttons should be undone if you are wearing a waistcoat.

You can fold your pocket square in may ways, but it should never match your tie only compliment it.

The shoes is where lots of people go wrong as they buy cheap shoes that look terrible. The shoes you buy should be 100% leather, brown/tan goes extremely well with blue suits.

No thx, I'd rather just walk naked everywhere I go.

@filthycasualty My suit jackets bunch up behind my neck. What do you suggest. I have very broad shoulders.

Sorry, but that's an awful looking knot, Windsor, preferably double or full, your pick either is fine as your first last and only knot.

I will never understand the long outdated concept of dressing in a suit. Never been impressed by the look or the style.

Couldn't you find a better source? The JPEG compression is jarring.

And where does the tuxedo t-shirt factor into this?

But why?

Step 1: Have money... Step 2: Don't live in a climate where the air is made of hot soup... Step 3 - more: see above.

I had some waistcoats fitted a few days ago. Tailors really know their shit. It's impressive when you realise you know nothing about clothes

I say go for it. You'll look like a twat, but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

It looks fine if you are standing, but as soon as you move or do anything, really, you´ll regret it. But if you want, sure, go for it.

None of you idiots got it right. You only button the bottom button when you are serving people!

It's a tradition thing, goes along the lines of 'How it's supposed to be worn' and hasn't been phased out of suit wear at all.

#10, no, four-in-hand is not the only tie knot you need to know.

10 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 3

If you ball out you can use whatever the fuck knot you want. I usually double-knot mine. Sorta like a shoelace.

It's not you are correct but its the one everyone should know how to tie as standard

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I'd argue the half-windsor as the standard. Many folks don't purchase heavy/wide ties these days (the recommended material for a 4-in-hand).

It's a knot for people who can't tie a knot. But we have the internet. Need instructions for a better knot, they're available.

It's the school boy knot, easy for the kids to learn for their uniforms. It's basic, but still acceptable.
