The effect of suits on men’s personality

Summary: Suits have been holding a prominent space in global men’s dressing and is the preferred dress of businessmen, politicians and everyone else who would like to wear a comfortable yet imposing dress that would make them look and feel confident.

Men have always welcomed suits as both formal and informal attire. From corporate boardrooms to wedding occasions, the suit has seen all and conquered all through its distinctive style statement. We present here, a brief analysis of suits and their effect on the personality of men. In fact, the effect of this attire have also been transformed to women’s fashion, as women in the corporate scenario too have well adapted to wearing a suit to bring out that imposing sense of power that the suit attributes to the wearer. The suit is synonymous to a sense of power undeniably and it has always remained the preferred choice of dress for those in power, of any extent, to display their extent of power.

Suits impart a personality that no other piece of clothing can inspire. It is kind of a stern fashion statement that is preferred by many, if not all. For instance, like you see the Italian mafia wearing suit in cult movies like the Godfather. Mafia or no mafia, politician or no politician, businessmen or no businessmen, every man must wear a suit sometimes or other time to bring out the effect that the suit can have on one’s personality. However, selecting just the right suit is not so easy as there are different parameters of choosing a suit.

The most basic decision regarding suits that you will have to make is to determine whether you would like to wear a single breasted suit or a double breasted one for your fashion. Both the single breasted and the double breasted type are in fashion, and it actually depends on the preferential choice of the wearer or of the stylist to the wearer. Whether you would like to wear a suit with overlapping buttons and buttonholes (the double-breasted type) or whether you would like to wear the other kind, is entirely your choice and you will have to decide accordingly as per your tastes.

Once you have decided between the double-breasted or the single-breasted suit, the next aspect of decision-making is in the choice of whether you would like to wear a three piece suit or a two piece suit. A three piece suit includes a waistcoat, apart from the usual jackets and trousers, and is a preferred choice in case you would like to wear the jacket without buttoning. The general trend of course is to wear a waistcoat with the single-breasted variety as people do not wear the double breasted type without buttoning. However, there may be some who would like to experiment with wearing a waistcoat even with the double breasted suit, and they are most welcome to experiment.

The suit has also been modified for different occasions like wedding ceremonies or award ceremonies. In fact, men in award ceremonies nowadays wear nothing but the suit, especially the tuxedos. There is of course not so much scope for experimenting with colors in a suit, yet you can choose between the different suit cuts to decide your style.
