It's time to suit up, Men!

It’s summertime, which means weddings and business conferences. It’s important to keep your wardrobe up to date to make a statement and stay relevant. We have listed the suits available in the market and the upcoming trends of 2022 with the help of some amazing fashion stylists from Hyderabad.

Single Breasted Suit

A single-breasted suit refers to a blazer that has one row of buttons and a narrow overlap of fabric. This style is a bit more relaxed and casual when compared to other styles. It creates an illusion of a taller and slimmer look. It is very grand, great for weddings and family dinners.

Unstructured Suit | FASHION

This style is very casual and relaxed. The best part about an unstructured blazer is that with the right color coordination you can pair it with almost every event item in your wardrobe. You can pair it with a solid color t-shirt and jeans. It’s the perfect outfit for a day out on the yacht with the boys.

Double Breasted Suit

A double-breasted suit refers to a blazer that has between three to four buttons on either side of the jacket. This style is very formal and sophisticated. This style is ideal for slim men as it creates a wide chest appearance. It is very elegant and works great for business and semi-formal events.

Full Canvas

Full canvas is always the best quality and higher-priced suit in the market. The main feature of a full canvas suit is that it allows the fabric to sit perfectly. Although it’s pricey it’s the most comfortable and flexible design in the market.

Half Canvas

This looks more on the affordable side of the suits range. The half-canvas style features a sewn in canvas piece in the chest and lapel of the jacket and is fused down the bottom. Which makes this style much more breathable and comfortable. It’s best for younger adults who are still new to suits.

“2022 is all about experimenting with colors. To stand out, one can go for experimental shades such as - green, cadmium yellow, island green, and ice water. These can be paired as tone-on-tone or color blocking. If you're up for some change then go floral. Floral prints are in trend for men at the moment. Though “ these suits need to be styled differently to be worn again, the pants can be paired with plain classic shirts for further use. For accessorizing your suit I suggest a pair of Chelsea boots for events and important occasions. One can also try combining shirts with crazy psychedelic prints with plain suits to give a quirky effect.

“I feel men’s fashion is not explored much in India. A great suit in my vision is a well-tailored slim-fit suit that has a narrow chest and waist style that gives a natural contour to the body.

The pants style should be ankle fit so that it gives a straight look and increases the height.

I prefer monochrome in light pastel colors, “ like a cinnamon pink shirt with beige trousers with a tan sleek belt and loafers. Light green top with a solid color trouser like dark blue. Always accessorize I generally believe less is more but it has to be the right amount and cufflinks buttons are the best. Even the classic matching belt and footwear will do the trick for an effortless look.

“The key to formal wear is to know the difference between good and bad fabrics. Incorporating suitable fabrics and the correct prints can totally transform your wardrobe. To achieve a classy formal look, opt for light and monotonous colors. To play around with the look, you can always throw an overcoat with a similar tone or even experiment with the underlying textures and tones. “ Flannels, Plaids, and pinstripes are the safest picks, make sure to pair them with neutral Chelsea boots and you are good to go. Avoid slim fits, avoid opting for harsh colors that could completely break the look; stick to neutrals. While shopping, remember to pick soft fabrics that are breathable and make sure that your Overall silhouette looks good.
