Stylish men's clothing, no less than women's clothing, requires compliance with certain rules and requirements. Suits, sweaters, jackets and shirts - everything should be harmoniously combined with each other in length and volume, color, pattern and texture of fabrics.
If the length of the jacket or sleeves is incorrectly unbalanced, a person looks sloppy and ridiculous, untidy and funny. There are several important rules that every man must know and adhere to when buying clothes in a store.
Classic standard jacket sleeve length
One of the most important rules is the ratio of the sleeve lengths of the jacket and shirt..
If the correct ratio is observed, a man will look elegant and presentable. If you ignore these rules, you can completely ruin your appearance and create a negative opinion about yourself, giving the impression of a sloppy and stupid person.
The optimal sleeve length for a men's jacket is determined very simply:
- You need to lower your outstretched arm down.
- Secure the cuff with your other hand.
- Measure the gap between the shirt cuff and the jacket.
The shirt sleeve should protrude from under the jacket no more than 1.5-2 cm.
If the shirt cuff reaches the base of the thumb, then the jacket should end slightly above this level, but no more than 2 cm.
This rule applies to traditional classic and fashionable sports jackets or jackets.
Jacket with shirt
When buying a fashionable blazer with a shirt, you need to pay attention to the harmonious combination of the lengths of the products with each other. A small margin of length is allowed on the shirt sleeve. When unbuttoned, the shirt cuff should not be lower than the middle of the palm.
There are two options for determining the correct jacket sleeve length.
- Classic option.
When the cuffs of a shirt peek out a little from under the sleeves of a jacket. This option is recommended for those who have long arms and large hands. The long sleeve of the jacket will smooth out the disproportion of the figure. It is strictly forbidden to completely cover the cuffs of the shirt with the long sleeves of the jacket, as the suit will look large, clumsy and baggy.
- Modern option.
This option provides maintaining the optimal length ratio, when the shirt cuff protrudes significantly from under the jacket, but no more than 2 cm. If this gap increases, it will seem that the suit is too small and not chosen for height. This rule must be observed especially carefully for tall men, since an incorrect ratio of sleeve sizes will emphasize great height, making the figure awkward.
With a sweater
When wearing a knitted or knitted sweater over a shirt, it is important to know the correct combination of sleeve sizes.The same principle works here as in the classic version with a jacket. The shirt cuff must protrude no more than 1 cm from under the sweater.
But there are options when a man wears a shirt, sweater and jacket at the same time.
In this case, you can adhere to one of the following rules:
- sequential arrangement of lengths - a long sleeve of a shirt, slightly shorter than a sweater, then a jacket;
- two-layer arrangement of sleeves - shirt, then jacket, and the sweater is on the same level with the jacket and does not peek out.
ADVICE! When buying a jumper or sweater for a man, you need to control the width of the cuff. That's right - when a knitted cuff gently but tightly clasps a person's wrist, and does not fall down the arm.
With a coat
The correct sleeve length for a coat or jacket - This is a vital necessity because they protect your hands from cold and rain. The correct option is a length that covers the shirt by 1 cm. It is imperative to ensure that when your hands are lowered down, the edges of the suit slightly overlap the upper edge of the gloves. Coat sleeves that are too long look undignified, depriving the clothes of neatness and the man of elegance.
When shirt cuffs peek out a little from under your coat, this is not a fundamental mistake. But when the sleeves of the jacket also show, this is already unacceptable negligence, which will cause significant harm to the man’s image!
This rule applies not only to coats, but also to jackets, short fur coats, raincoats or sheepskin coats.
We don't make mistakes
When buying men's clothes, many people make stylistic mistakes that greatly spoil a man's appearance, giving the image a loose, sloppy character.
Many people make these mistakes:
- they buy cheap, low-quality items that don’t fit well;
- they buy brightly colored suits, they look comical and frivolous;
- choose cheap low-quality fabrics;
- incorrectly combine clothing colors;
- the length is chosen incorrectly;
- do not match the length of the product with the parameters and features of their figure.
By choosing clothes in the right combination of color, length and texture of fabrics, a man can always look stylish and elegant, giving the impression of a successful and intelligent person. A presentable appearance changes the opinion of others about a person.
A properly dressed person inspires trust and respect; they begin to entrust him with responsible tasks, which contribute to rapid advancement along the career ladder leading to the heights of power and wealth.
