The Three-Piece Suit: A Sign of Good Taste

From television shows like Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire, to mens magazines like Esquire and GQ, the three-piece suit is having a bit of a renaissance. When worn in the right context, the three-piece suit is a statement maker and a sign of good taste. Cut from solid blue and grey fabric the suit can be worn nearly anywhere; though we like ours in a gentlemanly yet playful glen plaid.

 

When donning a three-piece suit there are a few ground rules: You must always wear a tie and a shirt with a spread collar; always leave the bottom button of the waistcoat unbuttoned; and your shoes should be as dark and simple as possible. Having a three-piece suit in your wardrobe is a classy way to add some diversity to it – and should you ever want to take off your jacket in public, you’ll have a sophisticated layer underneath it.
