The Classic Suit

The classic suit should be a staple in every man’s wardrobe. Fads in dress come and go, and we need to stay in touch with the trends of the times. This, however, should not be considered a reason to abandon this conservative approach to dress.

I think everyone would agree that it is refreshing these days to see a man who is well-groomed, well-mannered, and in a nice suit. This classic approach to masculine dress is not only time honored; it also exudes a confidence and trustworthiness that trends, fads, and less conservative clothing choices lack. While being comfortable may be a consideration when choosing what to wear, we should bear in mind what kind of image we want to project. The clean lines and familiarity of a suit lets us know that we should expect professional, well mannered behavior from the man who is wearing it.

I would encourage men to take a second glance in their collective closets and pull out that suit for consideration. Better yet, go to a department or men’s store and buy a new one. Gray, black, or navy blue, pinstriped, single- or double-breasted jacket – there are lot of options to consider. Whatever you decide, remember that a good suit will never go out of style.
