If a suit is tight-fitting, do you undo the buttons? If it is loose, do you do them all up? Is an undershirt to be worn under a dress shirt at all times? Do dress socks need to be black? If you have been nodding along, go take a look at the men¡¯s fashion guidebook ¡°The Classic Taste.¡±
Recently published by men¡¯s suit maker Galaxy, the book includes sections on how to wear a suit properly, how to shop, and all the other building blocks needed to help transform a bloke into a dapper gentleman. It reveals that it is always proper etiquette to keep the suit buttoned except when seated. But with two-button suits, only the top button should be latched, and with three-button varieties the middle button.
Since a dress shirt is in fact the undergarment of a suit, there is no need for the vest or, Heaven forefend, the t-shirt beloved of salarymen. Belt and shoes must match the color of the suit while socks should be of a slightly darker shade. If you are a one-suit kind of man, the book recommends a dark grey that can work for all formal occasions. If you can afford a few spares, pick one midnight blue, one grey and one brown suit, in that order. Show 1.5 cm of cuff, and wear trousers whose seam meets top of the shoe heel so that the back of the shoe is slightly covered. If the pants are too long, it can make the wearer look shorter.
A tie of a similar feel as the suit gives a sophisticated impression, while a tie that is of a contrasting cloth can look confident and strong.
The company started giving away copies of the book to visitors to its website (http://www.galaxy.co.kr) who provided reasons or background stories about why they need it, through a lottery starting on Monday.
