Suits for graduation

We have written blog posts about suits that every man should own, suits that work the best to business environment, and suits that look the best on older gents. However, we have totally forgotten young men. Why so? Because graduations are actually the events where many young men get their first suit! And, on that note, guys in their early twenties are already fully grown to be purchasing a proper suit. So, it’s the best time to start looking for a personal tailor.

After all your hard work, you deserve to look good on your graduation day. And yes, we totally get that a tailor made suit can sometimes be expensive for guys who are just graduating and not earning money of their own, so that’s why we think that a nice tailor made suit could be the best present for a graduating child. This is the time when most of them are starting a career of their own and what would be better than go to your first job interviews wearing a nice suit. Of course the suit shouldn’t be too flashy, so we are here to give you some advice about the first suit that a young man should get.

Skip the flashy patterns and bright colors. The best option is to be classical yet chic. The most classical combo is a crisp white shirt, a dark suit, and don’t forget polished shoes and a matching tie. The tie is the place where you can have some color to make your suit look interesting, but it’s totally up to you if you’d like to wear a matching suit or mix and match your jacket and trousers. A matching suit will give a more formal vibe but you can mix up the colors and shades if you want to leave a lasting effect.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, skip the white shirt and go for pastels – light blue or pink are the best options. These will add color and texture to your look, making it more of an eye catcher. Don’t wear a black shirt – these are more for casual shirts or the funerals. You want to keep it bright and cheerful.

If wearing a tie is really not your thing, then skip it, but you should definitely wear a buttoned shirt. And, if you skip the tie, then maybe opt for a pocket square to add a festive touch.

For a young man, the best option usually is a slim fit suit. It’ll emulate a young style and can take you straight from the stage to a celebration in a restaurant or a pub. It also works great in a business environment as well. But this is something that you can consult with your tailor.

The point is you should look as formal as possible without compromising your style. If you are not sure how you’d like to look or style is something you couldn’t care less about, then contacting a tailor is best possible solution: they know what fits the best to your body type, can give excellent style advice, and they also know the etiquette.
