Daily life: Casual and office clothes
The men's suit is a must on every occasion, especially in everyday life : from work to an informal appointment, the suit is the perfect choice for those who don't want to give up their innate refinement .
Office dress
The office suit is a classic day suit composed of a 3 or 4 button jacket and coordinated trousers, in a very wide color palette , which ranges from more traditional colors such as gray and navy blue, through cooler and more less common, such as bottle green, light blue and beige. Perfect to wear every day to always be impeccable at work.
- The cut can vary slightly: usually a more structured cut gives a more professional image and is also suitable for important meetings or gatherings;
- The most used fabrics for this type of dress are wool and wool blend fabrics , guaranteeing comfort and resistance but more summery and fresh fabrics such as cotton and linen cannot be excluded.
Casual dress
More informal and sporty, the casual suit is the "relaxed" version of the classic men's suit, which can also be split , i.e. made up of a jacket and trousers of different colors or just the jacket mixed with trousers such as jeans or chinos .
Also suitable for less formal work contexts or casual Fridays , the casual dress finds its main sphere of use on informal occasions , such as dinners with friends, aperitifs and casual events.
- The cut is generally softer and more comfortable , with informal details such as patch pockets and thin lapels
- Lightweight fabrics such as linen and cotton are ideal for the warmer seasons, while a light weight wool is perfect for autumn and winter
Special occasions: the formal dress
The formal suit is the icon par excellence of male elegance.
Usually consisting of a jacket, trousers and matching waistcoat , it is worn on important occasions which also require a tie or bow tie to complete the outfit. It is an essential choice for weddings, gala evenings and formal events.
- Compared to the work suit, the cut is more fitted and defined , and the suit can be embellished with details that make it more elegant
- Fine fabrics such as virgin wool and cashmere are preferred to give a touch of luxury
- The colors are traditional: navy blue, midnight blue, gray or black
Among the formal dresses, the double-breasted suit and the tuxedo should certainly be mentioned , a traditional evening dress particularly suitable for gala events. It stands out for its shiny satin peak lapel and trousers with matching side stripe, and is usually worn with a white shirt with a pointed or wing collar, shiny leather shoes and a bow tie .
The pinnacle of classic style , the tuxedo must however be worn wisely, and only in circumstances that actually require it, such as evenings and gala events : the risk is that of overdoing it and appearing out of place.
