Tips For Keeping A Suit From Looking Stuffed

Men who buy suits quickly discover that they have a wide array of places they can seemingly store their gear. Between the jacket and trousers a man is looking at between seven and twelve pockets to choose from.

However, for the most part these pockets should be used sparingly, if at all. This is because over stuffing suit pockets can and will lead to the suit looking like it is stuffed or even poorly made.

I wrote this article to let men know where to put their gear and how to do it in a way that does not look terrible. Upon finishing this article you will know what to do with your items each time you are forced to carry them.

The best way to keep pockets from looking full is to not use them. This can be achieved in cold climates by using your coat pockets exclusively. I do not recommend this tactic for anybody that might be at risk of having their jackets looted.

Men that dare not put items in coats for the nightmare of having their items stolen, need to be careful how they put their items in their suits. Also many men cannot use coats because they are wearing their suits in temperate weather.

Men need to realize that they cannot store items in their exterior jacket pockets. Items can be stored in the inside pockets but should only be done with items that are thin and will not show through the jacket.

Pants can hide items in back pockets if the jacket is to cover the back pockets and you are comfortable with the way items feel when sitting on them. Remember that overstuffed back pockets will still bulge through a jacket at times.

When absolutely necessary you should use your front two trouser pockets to hold items like wallets and cell phones. Be sure to take all non-essential items out of your wallet to make it as flat as possible.
