Helping A Man Choose Evening Dress
Your significant other may be able to change a tire, run a marathon, trade stocks, or even perform brain surgery. When an invitation to a formal party arrives, though, even the most debonair man can feel a little out of place. If your partner needs some help shopping, here are some tips you can use to keep him looking his best:
1) If a suit is appropriate, a single-breasted suit in a classic color such as black, navy, or charcoal always look nice. Look at fabric carefully, as it will not only affect the look and feel of the suit, but also the drape of the material. Wool is a classic choice. Worsted wools are lightweight and good for warmer climate. Gabardine wools will keep your significant other warm. Wool Crepes are very soft looking and lightweight.
2) Select a shirt with a wide collar if your significant other has a narrow face and a shirt with a narrower collar if your partner has a wider face. Look for a shirt in a contrasting color to the suit.
3) Look for a tie in a simple design that matches at least one color in the suit. Leave the novelty ties for more casual events. A silk tie is always a nice touch and often has a luster that is very flattering to the face. The tie should just tough top of the belt buckle.
4) Think of the tie, shirt, and suit as a unit. They should work together for a pleasing whole.
