The width of the lapel of the vest and tie must be the same

This is a detail that gives balance to the top half of a men’s vest. If you go for a modern style with narrow lapels, choose a thin tie and vice versa for a classic men’s vest with wide lapels, you must choose a thick tie. Always remember that the widest point of the lapel should be equal to the widest point of the tie.

Make sure your vest is always the right length

To wear a men’s vest properly, you need to pay attention to the shape of the shirt that fits and is standard with your body shape. Men’s vests are always polite, so paying attention to the length of the shirt is essential. The standard length of a suit is that its lapel just covers the front zipper of the pants. When you have chosen to buy a vest with the right length, then the width of the shirt also needs to have the right width. You need to pay attention that the width of the shirt is just right to hug the bust to ensure the most comfort for the wearer.

Make sure that the tie is always the right length

A properly tied tie should never go below the waistband and no more than 2.5 cm above the waist. The tie is perfectly tied if it just touches the waistband or waistband. Checking the length of this tie is quite simple, each time you tie it, step back and look in the mirror to check that you have tied the correct length. Note that wearing a men’s vest properly does not have a standard length for a tie so do not tie it first. The exact length of your tie always depends on your waistband or waistband. Each person has their own unique characteristics, so the waistband will be in different positions depending on your height.

Buttoning on a vest is no joke

There are always rules that require accuracy in wearing a men’s suit, in addition to color or shape, buttons are another important thing you must pay attention to. Men’s vest is a typical example of politeness and neatness, showing the fashion knowledge of its owner. With a 1-button vest style, it is too simple when they inherently only have one button. The motto “Standing, sitting open” you need to remember clearly. That means when standing, button and unbutton before sitting to keep the shirt from wrinkling. Wearing a men’s vest properly with a 2-button shirt style, remove the last button. For 3-button vest style, you always button the middle button, the top button can be attached or not. However, you absolutely must remove the last button and you must strictly adhere to the things related to the button on the vest. Also, make sure the buttons are in their correct positions. With a 2-button men’s vest, the top button must be on the back of the pants. And with a 3-button vest, the middle button should also be on the back of the pants.

Don’t underestimate the importance of pocket towels

Wearing a men’s vest properly is that the pocket scarf should not be the same color as your tie. Instead, the pocket scarf should complement the color found on your tie or contrast it completely with the tie. If you’re not wearing a tie, the rules for choosing a pocket scarf still apply. The color of the pocket scarf should complement or contrast with the color of other accessories on the outfit. A simple way to wear a vest without thinking much is to not choose the same color as other accessories. Also, towels from solid-tone fabrics need to be matched with one of the tie colors. If using a colorful scarf, it is better to wear a one-tone tie.

The gap between the lapel of a jacket and the collar of a shirt is a fatal elementary mistake

The correct way to wear a men’s vest is that the lapels of the jacket should be neatly located just above the end of the shirt collar and they should not leave any gaps. If yes, it means you are wearing the wrong size men’s vest. No matter what type of lapel or collar style you wear, the space between them is unacceptable.

Make sure to choose the right tie with the right color and pattern

In addition to choosing the right tie color for the overall suit, you must make sure that the color matches the color of the vest. The tie should always be a little darker than the color of the shirt underneath. Gray vest can be used in many colors but black vest is more limited with only black, white and gray. Also pay attention to the pattern of the tie to wear a men’s vest properly. Like a polka dot tie, it can be worn with a plain shirt, a checkered shirt and not with a polka dot shirt. Plaid ties can be combined with plain shirts, polka dots, but should not be mixed with checkered shirts. Floral or geometric ties are more limited, they should only be worn with a plain shirt or a light plaid in a neutral color. But if you are not confident, the first step is to match the tie of the same color with the vest and plain shirt.
