How to Wear a Suit [ What are the 12 Laws of a Good Man?

Law #4: “Don’t use store-bought shoes to adjust the length of your suit slacks!

If you are not careful about adjusting the length of your slacks when you buy a ready-made business suit or order a suit, you will not be able to complete the suit style of a cool, decent man. In Japan, many stores adjust the length of slacks while wearing leather shoes of a size larger than anyone can wear, but this often makes it difficult to find the right balance when actually wearing the suit. There is also a risk that the waist of a larger shoe will be caught at a high position, resulting in an unexpectedly short fit. The standard rule of thumb is to adjust the balance to the shoes you normally wear while looking at your entire body. Also, the optimum length varies depending on whether you choose a single or double leg, so it is recommended that you have some idea of your ideal style in advance.

Law #5: “The thickness of the tie, the heart of the suit V-zone, is matched to the width of the lapel.

Tie selection is closely related to suit lapels. There is no need to be strict about it down to the millimeter, but a thin lapel should be matched with a thin tie, and a thicker lapel with a thicker tie. The optimal “length” also varies depending on one’s body type, so if you are interested, please check out our article focusing on how to choose a tie.

Law #6: “Use a pocket chief that matches the TPO to add flair!

It would be no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to find a man who does not have a pocket square in his pocket among the successful businessmen of Western countries, the birthplace of the suit. However, there is an impression that pocket chiefs have not yet penetrated the business scene in Japan, and there are cases in which a glamorous pocket chief may be shunned by some workplaces and business partners. In such cases, inserting a white pocket chief in a square will give an understated and fearless impression. The quality of the pocket chief you should choose should be approximately 40 cm square, and the thickness should be between 12 and 24 mon mon mon mon. White linen pocket chiefs, which were used by the bourgeoisie (wealthy people) in 1920 when the pocket chief was born, are recommended for formal occasions.
