In the street photos of European and American celebrities, suits and vests are often featured. Follow the footsteps of a sportsman and choose a suit and vest for yourself.
1. Look at the fabric
1. Woolen fabric
The vest made of woolen material has a very strong The high-end feel refers to wool and cashmere fabrics, so it is very smooth and rich in feel, with fine velvet on the surface, and its warmth retention is also a major advantage. High-quality wool has a natural luster, and you don’t have to worry about wrinkles, but it will be a little troublesome when cleaning.
Selection suggestions: Depending on the content of wool or cashmere, the texture of wool will be very different, and the price will also change accordingly. Higher-end suit vests will contain more than 70% of the active ingredients to ensure their fineness. In autumn and winter, you can give priority to such a vest, which is more practical.
2. Polyester
On the labels of some suit vests, you will sometimes see “polyester fiber” , this is actually what we usually call polyester. The elasticity of polyester itself is very outstanding, and its appearance has very good toughness. You don’t have to worry about tearing or damage. As for the shortcomings, it is that polyester lacks breathability. It is not recommended to consider 100% pure polyester materials.
Suggestions for selection: A suit vest made of polyester looks very stylish, and the upper body should be more graceful. You can try polyester blend, which is generally the most commonly used. The only one is viscose fiber. The combination of the two can complement each other and make the skin less likely to be irritated. Just calculate the proportion as half and half, and the price is also reasonable, which is a lot of cost-effectiveness.
3. Jinmian
The so-called nylon cotton is a blend of nylon and cotton. This fabric is more suitable for spring In summer, it is very light to wear. The texture of natural cotton is very soft, and it is worth mentioning both in terms of breathability and sweat wicking. Nylon fiber just makes up for the poor wrinkle resistance of cotton, and is more practical when intertwined.
Selection suggestions: Nylon-cotton blended material has a rustic feeling, and the surface texture is very prominent, suitable for matching shirts or T-shirts. , overall more casual, not serious at all. When cleaning, remember to hang it to dry. If necessary, it would be better to iron it before wearing it. Men’s clothes should start with neatness.
2. Look at the collar type
1. V collar
You may not know yet, suit There are many types of collars for vests, and there is also a certain amount of care in matching them. The editor will tell you in detail below. The most common type is the V-neck, which is also the collar type of general vests. When paired with a shirt, this collar type is more decorative and can show good neck proportions without being overly crowded.
Selection suggestions: V-neck suit vests are suitable for various occasions. They have a high matching and reference index and are suitable for most people. For boys, especially smaller boys with larger head proportions, because the V-shaped structure has downward extensibility, it can balance the volume of the upper body. It is easy to outline and easy to control, so there is no need to worry about stepping on the wrong side.
2. Suit collar
The vest with a suit collar is more suitable for external wear, and it wins in terms of appearance. Within the scope of suit collars, there are two common types: flat lapel collars and peaked lapel collars. We can also see these two types of collars in the design of vests. Among them, the notched lapel collar is smaller, as shown in the picture on the left, which is relatively formal; the lapel collar piece is more angular, like a pistol, and looks both retro and gentlemanly.
Selection suggestions: The suit collar itself is very attractive With a sense of “majesty”, you look like a boy who knows how to wear clothes. If you think the suit jacket is too heavy, you might as well try a vest with a suit collar like this. The peaked lapel collar may have more volume. Fat boys should pay attention to this. The popularity of flat lapel collars is still quite high.
3. Stand collar
Stand-up collar seems to be rare in suit vests, but this collar type is really eye-catching It’s noticeable at a glance. The style of the stand-up collar is like this. The collar piece sits on the collar and surrounds the neck. It is quite decorative and has an inexplicable elegant temperament, which is more casual for everyday use.
Selection suggestion: The stand-up collar suit vest has a bit of a “mandarin jacket” feel, is very loose and comfortable to wear. However, the stand-up collar is not suitable for boys with big faces. It easily blocks the length of the neck and makes the face look more visually massive. Boys who usually follow a minimalist style can wear it.
3. Look at the design
1. Clean surface
Design determines the style and attributes of the vest , which is quite crucial for novices who know nothing about matching. What can you say about the design of suit vests? First, there is the conventional clean surface design, which is what we call solid color. This kind of vest is more capable and refined, and has more applications, but you still have to choose the specific color carefully.
Selection suggestions: Clean-faced vests are very suitable for boys who need them in the workplace. The more classic ones are black and navy blue, which can reflect Deep and mature temperament; gray and brown are relatively sophisticated, soft but elegant. I can’t say more about the other brighter ones, it depends on your wishes!
2. Plaid
It cannot be said that a vest with plaid elements represents fancy, on the contrary, it is richer with plaid. Fashionability. In British-style clothing, this plaid element can be seen everywhere. It is a symbol of gentleman and a reflection of clothing. If it is a very low-key plaid, it fully expresses a sense of business, while a beautiful plaid is much more retro.
Selection suggestions: Many people are frightened by the volume of plaid when they think of it, and are worried about making them look fat. But as long as you master the ratio of plaid patterns, there is still a way to wear plaid patterns on your body. The dark blue plaid is easy to control, and the sparsity should also be controlled. The gray plaid pattern in the picture above is very obvious, and it may be easier if it is finer.
3. Stripes
To be honest, the stripe design is not widely used in vests, but the yuppie style is quite strong. This element that hovers between ruffian and handsome is really a good tool for flirting with girls. Vertical stripes are more appropriate, and you can also try to combine them with a clean suit jacket to create a more fashionable effect and a properly trendy sir.
Selection suggestions: You should choose more detailed vertical stripes, as thick ones may not look so elegant. There are no worries about color matching. White or black are used more often, and they are much more harmonious with other colors. If your three-piece suit is all striped, it is best to buy it as a set so that the visual effect will be better.
