Nothing will make you look sharp, elegant, and powerful like wearing a suit. So, why not wear it well? You may wonder, is there a right and a wrong way to wear a suit? Well, yeah.
We’ve put down some rules to guide you this fall season. You don’t have to make the mistakes people make when wearing a suit anymore. Especially during the autumn season.
Let’s unpack!
6 Suit Mistakes Men Make You Shouldn’t
1. Wearing a smartwatch
Wearing a smartwatch with your suit will make you look sporty, not elegant. You should rather wear a non-sporty metal wristwatch. This will bring out the classy and timeless look of your suit.
2. Not removing the tags and stitches
Many men wear their suits without removing the markers. Perhaps they are scared of ruining the suit. But the tags are meant to be removed. You can play safe by using a scissor to do that.
3. Wearing numerous accessories
When you wear a suit, you are going for a majestic, timeless look. Wearing numerous rings, necklaces, or bracelets will work against your plan. You can wear accessories but keep it moderate.
4. Getting a trendy suit
Getting a suit just because it is trending? Probably because you saw it at the Oscars worn by a celebrity. Here’s our advice, you really shouldn’t do that. There’s no assurance that the suit will keep trending by next year. If you want to spend on a suit, get the classic first. Black, gray, and even navy blue can do the trick.
5. You may wear shirts and ties
You can add different styles like using a turtleneck, which is very comfortable and makes you feel elegant.

You shouldn’t just get your suit from any suit store. Especially in the fall seasons. If you get your suit from a random store, it won’t fit you 100% because the suits are mass-produced. And even people with similar body structures still have differences.
