Tips To Take Your Suit Style From Ordinary To Extraordinary
[0:00:00] So, you need to wear a suit, but you don’t
want to look like everyone else.
I get it, guys.
And in today’s video, we’re talking about how to go from ordinary to extraordinary when
you need to suit up.
[Music] Tip number one.
Practice wearing your suit.
A lot of guys think a suit is uncomfortable.
That’s not true.
A well-fitted suit can be very comfortable, but what it is to most men is unfamiliar.
So, how do you become used to wearing a suit?
You practice, you find reasons, you find events to wear the suit too.
Oh, can’t find an event?
Well, then wear it at home, when you’re working at home.
Yes, wear a suit.
You want to get used to how it feels, get used to wearing a suit, your confidence level
is going to shoot right up.
Tip number two.
Only wear a suit if it fits you.
If you own a suit and it doesn’t fit you, then you either get it adjusted or you get
rid of it.
So, when you’re buying a suit off the rack, you want to get as close to perfect as possible.
Yes, a suit can be adjusted, but only so much.
When it comes to the shoulders, you’ve got to get it right in the shoulders.
If it doesn’t fit you in the shoulders, do not buy the suit.
Next up, the length of the suit.
So, you’re going to put your hands right next to your body if it’s about as long
as to your knuckle right here, that’s perfectly fine, but you want to make sure the suit is
long enough to cover the curvature of your buttocks.
Trousers are going to be a little bit easier to get adjusted to fit you.
What you want to make sure is they fit you in the hit area and in the crotch area.
Now, the trouser waist can be brought in or let out just a bit.
And the hem, this is a relatively easy fix.
So, if you put those trousers on, they’re about an inch, two inches even too long, you
can easily get that adjusted.
Now, another easy way to take your suit game from ordinary to extraordinary is to level
up your accessories.
Watches are about standing out from the crowd, getting compliments, it tells the world about
you.
And, guys, if you’re looking for a watch, you’re just getting started, check out Vincero,

The next tip to go from ordinary to extraordinary, don’t be afraid to be a double-breasted
man.
We’re talking about the double-breasted suit.
Now, this is going to be a little bit more formal than the single-breasted suit and I
wouldn’t recommend it for your first suit.
But, if you’ve got already a few suits in your wardrobe and you want to try something
that just stands out from the crowd because it’s about one percent of suits out there,
but any occasion you can wear a single-breasted suit, you can wear a double-breasted suit
too.
Next up, let’s talk about color.
If you’ve got a black suit, I really want you to consider going to a different color.
Black is one of the most commonly sold suits out there, but I think it’s the wrong color
for most men.
It’s too stark of a contrast and it belongs in my opinion with a black tie.
So, look at charcoal gray, look at navy, and the beyond that, look to other colors, maybe
a dark brown, maybe you’re going to go with a true blue, maybe you’re going to bring
in a dark green.
Now, I’m not going to recommend those colors for a first suit, but if you’ve got three
charcoal suits, two navies, why not try a different color to be able to bring in that
wow factor to your wardrobe.
So, we talked about color, now, let’s talk about pattern and texture.
So, a lot of the guys go towards pattern and texture, they just go overboard.
They try to bring in something really bright, something really large.
You don’t need to do that.
You can bring in small subtle details like this jacket right here.
You may not be able to see it, but it has texture and pattern with it.
The pattern is going to be a bird’s eye.
What we see is black along with blue and together we kind of get this navy overall look from
a distance, but when you get up close, you see the texture, you see the pattern.
So, texture, the power there is that people actually want to touch it.
Pattern, it’s going to especially small patterns, there is just something about them
that helps them stand out from the crowd.
And, what I love about small patterns is it they can almost be as formal as a solid.
We talked about suit fit, but does your shirt actually fits you?
The most important place is going to be the neck.
And you want to be able to make sure you can get about two fingers in there and no more.
You don’t want to be able to get your whole hand in there.
I see a lot of guys they wear shirts that in the neck it’s way too large.
So, you want to have a nice close fit, but not anything that’s going to cut off circulation.
Next up, you want to make sure that the sleeve length is right.
When you put your hands out there, you want to see about an inch to a half an inch of
the cuff.
But I think what looks really bad is when the shirt is too short, the jacket sleeves
are too long, and all of a sudden you get this look that basically makes it look like
you’re wearing your older brother’s suit, way too big on you.
[0:05:00] Okay.
So, let’s talk neckties.
The right necktie can help your outfit really pop, the wrong one could actually bring it
down and make it a more casual outfit.
So, right here we’ve got the solid necktie.
This in general is going to be one of the more formal neckties out there.
Depending on the color, you know, if you’ve got a brighter color, it’s going to be less
formal.
This color right here, this is a regimental stripe.
So, regimental stripe, they have a military history, a lot of them or history with clubs.
This, because of the history and it’s a classic piece of menswear, it actually is
very formal even though it oftentimes bring in a wide variety of colors.
Now, small repeating patterns, I love ties like this.
As you can tell I have one right here.
I think that these are very formal.
They’re going to work in most business occasions.
And then, the dot.
Now, the dot tie actually with a small repeating dot like this, this is actually relatively
a formal tie.
It can be worn to most occasions, but I actually really just love this one, again, a small
repeating pattern.
The next tip to take your suits style from ordinary to extraordinary, pay attention to
your necktie knot.
In particular, pay attention to your necktie knot in relation to the color style.
So, if you’ve got a wide point collar, you want to go for a larger necktie knot.
If you have a narrow point collar, so meaning the space here is not very much, you want
to go for a smaller necktie knot.
What you’re looking for is balance, something that fits in there.
If you have a lot of space here, but you go for a small necktie knot, it’s just going
to look off.
If you really want to stand out and you need to wear a necktie, consider a bowtie.
A bowtie is just as formal as a necktie.
And any occasion that you need to wear a necktie, a bowtie will suffice and the advantage of
the bowtie it’s going to stay out of the way and it’s going to help you stand out
from the crowd.
The next tip to take your suit from ordinary to extraordinary, the pocket square.
Guys, it is really that simple, start to wear a pocket square.
Now, this may be a little bit too much and I’m not saying that you have to wear a paisley
pattern.
A simple white pocket square presidential fold, this right here is going to help you
stand apart from the crowd and it’s going to help take your suit from ordinary to extraordinary.
The next tip to take your suit from ordinary to extraordinary, bring in a vest.
So, a vest very similar to a double-breasted suit, it creates more of a buttoned up look
and it is more formal.
Whenever you’re wearing a three-piece suit or a double-breasted suit, they are going
to be at about the same level of formality.
Now, right here I have a sweater vest and I absolutely love this because it’s very
functional, it looks great, and it keeps me warm.
Next up, let’s talk about footwear.
We’re going to cover two aspects.
First, style; next, color.
This pair of shoes right here, Balmoral Oxfords in black.
For over a hundred years, men have worn this with suit.
I think that this is a foundation shoe that most men should have.
But, if you wear the shoe, you’re going to be like most men.
You’re not really going to stand out with your footwear.
Well, maybe go with a little bit of contrast in the style of the shoe.
So, notice here the same exact design.
We’ve got a cap toe, but notice that lighter brown we’ve got the dark brown and we brought
in brown.
So, yes, you can get away from black especially if you’re wearing a lot of blue if you’re
wearing a medium to a light gray, then this color right here is going to work great.
But, let’s say you want to stick with black, then in that case look to bring in oxblood
-- oxblood, maroon, colors like these I feel if you already like black.
And notice how the sole is actually black on the outside, so it’s going to work with
anything that you can wear with black shoes, but it’s going to stand apart.
Now, this shoe right here, this is a modern classic called the wholecut.
Notice how it actually is one large piece of leather, the entire upper and that’s
these shoes strength.
It is so simple that it stands out from a lot of the different styles out there.
If you wanted to stand out from the crowd, this would be a great option as well.
All right, guys, now it’s time for you to take this information, apply it to your suit
game, go from ordinary to extraordinary.
And, guys, if you want to be successful, a suit and looking good is a good step in the
right direction, but it’s a lot more than that.
And I’ve got you covered if you’re wondering are you on the path to success.

I break out – I met a lot of successful people, I go into detail about what I have
