The three-piece suit: let's get to know it better

Have you ever had to attend a big event and don't know what to wear? Or again, to feel awkward and clumsy in a dress that fails to enhance you?

In this article we will address a topic often loved and hated by men in the relentless pursuit of elegance: how and when to wear the three-piece suit!

Let's rewind the tape for a second. A three-piece suit consists of a single-breasted jacket with two or three buttons, a vest - also known as a waistcoat - and a pair of trousers: all three of the same fabric and color.

However, a note on the vest must be made. In fact, the male audience is divided between those who prefer to coordinate the fabric of the vest and jacket, to evoke a refined and connotating style; those who prefer to choose a different fabric for the vest giving a very personal touch to their look. In the second case, the choice of the combination will have to fall on very different and contrasting fabrics, such as a navy blue suit with a beige and brown checked waistcoat.

Our advice, if you are a beginner, is to stick to the traditional three-piece suit ... and please, let it be tailored! There are no excuses.

Are you planning a big event and don't want to risk disfiguring in front of the guests?
Here is our personalized advice for you. We will guide you step by step in the construction of an unrivaled three-piece suit.
As for the shirt, we strongly advise you to wear a white one in Egyptian cotton popelin, with a strictly Italian collar.
The dress will be perfect in slightly reinforced pure wool fabric (260gr), which will remain soft to the touch and will not crease even after a whole day.
To be perfect, the single-breasted jacket must remain soft at the waist and harmoniously follow the shape of the body: neither too tight nor too loose. We recommend the choice of pockets with flaps, open buttonholes and a completely hand-sewn collar.

How to fasten the vest? It depends on the occasion: for the office we recommend that you keep the last button unfastened, for important ceremonies it must instead be completely fastened.

To give a touch of color and personality try to break with a cream and midnight blue oblique thick striped silk tie as the suit, or if you are a lover of contrast choose one in burgundy silk with micro patterns.

The shoes? Strictly dark brown moccasin.
