Mistake 1: Buttons – The Subtle Art of Fastening Your Suit

Buttoning a suit isn’t complicated—unless you’re doing it wrong. And many men do. Shop The Suit Here →

Here’s the golden rule to follow:

• Single-breasted suits (2 buttons): Always button the top, never the bottom. Unbutton it when sitting.
• Single-breasted suits (3 buttons): Sometimes the top, always the middle, never the bottom.
• Double-breasted suits: Always button the inside button, always button the top one, never the bottom.

Why This Matters:

A properly buttoned suit enhances your posture, allows the fabric to drape naturally, and maintains a structured, polished look. Buttoning incorrectly causes bunching, disrupts the silhouette, and makes even a high-end suit look sloppy.

Pro Tip:

Want to test if you’re buttoning it right? Stand in front of a mirror. Your suit jacket should form a clean V-shape when buttoned. If it looks strained or bunches awkwardly, you’re doing it wrong. Adjust accordingly.

Mistake 2: The Label on the Sleeve – A Dead Giveaway

That brand label on your sleeve? It’s not a badge of honor. It’s meant to be removed.
Leaving the label on doesn’t showcase your taste—it signals that you don’t know how to wear a suit.

Why This Matters:

Keeping the label on gives the impression that you just grabbed your suit off the rack and wore it straight out of the store. A man who pays attention to details ensures every piece he wears is intentional and well-prepared.

Pro Tip:

While you’re at it, check for loose threads and unfinished stitching on the lapels, cuffs, and pockets. These small details can make or break the polished look of your suit.

Mistake 3: The Tacking Stitch – Snip It Off Immediately

That X-shaped stitch on the back vents of your blazer? It’s not a design element. It’s there for shipping purposes, keeping the jacket flat. Before you wear your new suit, snip the stitches to allow proper movement and fit.

Why This Matters:

Jacket vents provide ease of movement and ensure the jacket drapes correctly. Keeping them stitched shut restricts mobility, causing awkward bunching and ruining your silhouette.

Pro Tip:

Use small scissors or a seam ripper to remove these stitches carefully. Do not pull at them, or you risk damaging the fabric.

Bonus Tips: Taking Your Suit Game to the Next Level

1. Fit is King
Even an expensive suit will look off if it doesn’t fit properly. Ensure the shoulders sit well, the sleeves end at the right length, and the pants have a clean break.
2. Invest in Quality Fabrics
A great suit starts with the fabric. Wool, cashmere blends, and fine linen breathe better, drape beautifully, and last longer than synthetic materials.
3. Choose the Right Accessories
The right tie, pocket square, and shoes complete the look. Stick to classic colors and high-quality materials to elevate your style effortlessly.
4. Maintain Your Suit

• Dry clean only when necessary to preserve fabric quality.
• Use a quality hanger to maintain the suit’s shape.
• Steam out wrinkles instead of ironing to prevent fabric damage.

Your suit should be a reflection of your personal brand—sharp, refined, and intentional. Master these details, and you’ll always look the part.
