| As you can see, there are many illusionary tricks to create the look you want. The key is to downplay the negative and emphasize the positive. And above all remember... nobody's perfect!
Building a Suitable WardrobeHow many suits must a man have to be considered "well-dressed?" There is no hard and fast rule, but one thing is for certain, versatility in a wardrobe is essential to looking good and staying within a reasonable clothing budget. The following list of wardrobe "staples" should serve you well professionally and socially: THE NAVY BLUE SUIT is the cornerstone of a man's wardrobe. While there are many options available, the most versatile suit would be a tropical weight worsted wool which can be worn year-round. Single-breasted jackets are considered standard.A SPORTJACKET paired with a pair of worsted wool slacks, oxford shirt and a tie, creates a more casual, but professional-looking outfit. First choice goes once again to navy blue worsted wool because of its seasonless versatility. It can be worn over virtually anything: flannel or twill dress slacks, khakis or even well-worn jeans. Another popular sport jacket choice is a neutral tweed in either grey, blue, tan or olive. Tweeds are more suited to weekend wear or casual office days. TOPCOATS AND RAINCOATS are two essentials of completing your business and social wardrobe. The best choice is a fine quality wool topcoat which should be somewhat dressy and classically cut so it can carry you through multiple occasions. Raincoats that feature liners that zip out for warmer weather offer most versatility.
Tying It All TogetherIf you are like a lot of men who have to ask for a second opinion on which tie matches their suit and shirt, you'll appreciate the following suggestions.
LENGTH: your tie MUST come down to your belt line! Anything shorter makes you appear dowdy. How long is too long? If the end of your tie interferes with the operation of your zipper, then it's too long. FABRIC: Ties that knot the best, produce the finest quality look and are the overwhelming choice for year-round wear are made of 100% silk. Wool is best for winter and fall, and cotton should only be worn during the summer months. CONTRAST: It always looks best of have some contrast between the suit and shirt, and the shirt and tie. Here are some examples of how to create contrast:

WIDTH: As an easy to remember rule of thumb, hold the widest part of your tie up against your jacket lapel. They should match in width almost exactly. This works only with a single breasted, notched lapel; it doesn't work with peaked lapels found on double breasted suits.
