Suit Etiquette

A Single Button Suit should always be fastened while standing, and unfastened while sitting. This prevents awkward folds and maintains a clean look.
A Double Buttons Suit requires only the top button fastened while standing. Never fasten both buttons. When seated, unfasten them.
Three Buttons Suit is less fashionable today. Traditionally, fasten the top two buttons while standing or only the middle one. Never fasten all three.
Suits Fitting is key. Suits should conform naturally to your body without being too loose or overly tight.
Suits Trousers must also fit correctly. The hem should rest on the shoe without folding. Slim individuals should avoid baggy trousers, and larger individuals should avoid overly slim fits.
Suit Colours: Charcoal grey and navy blue are classier than black. Dark-skinned individuals should consider lighter greys and navy, while lighter skin tones look great in black.
Suit Lapels & Neckties: Match your tie width to the lapel size. Wide lapels pair with large ties, medium lapels with medium ties, and slim lapels with thin ties.
Neck Ties: Your tie should be darker than your shirt and end at the top of your belt. Medium-size ties (3–3.5 inches) are recommended.
Pocket Squares & Lapel Flowers: Pocket squares add polish but should differ in color from your tie. Avoid wearing both pocket square and lapel flower at formal meetings.
Suit Vents/Slits: Double vents are more formal and better for men with fuller hips.
Dress Shirt: The cuff should extend about half an inch past the suit sleeve. The collar should touch the lapel.
Belts & Shoes: Match the color. Brown shoes pair well with navy or grey suits, black shoes with black suits.
Socks: Choose conservative colors. Ensure they are long enough to cover your legs when sitting.
Suspender & Belts: Never wear both together—choose one.
Suit Labels & Tags: Always remove the designer tags, vent stitching, and labels before wearing.
