The Dress Code Is No Longer Laughable.

I believe many men love and hate their suits. One thing is that they really promote their bodies and eat all kinds of occasions.

But I believe more people will reveal a little confidence when they are dressed in suits.

After all, compared to other men's clothing, this dress is too much dress code. If you don't pay attention, you will laugh at it.

In fact, rather than memorizing those dress taboos, careful reading of this topic will help you escape from the many taboos in the suit.

Dressing rules for the upper part of the body

1. don't wear shirts on formal occasions; the bottom of your shirt should not be exposed.

2. never fasten the last button on the suit coat.

3. shirts must be exposed.

The shirt must not be exposed.

As we all know, there is an unwritten rule in the world of suits, that is, formal occasions can not only wear shirts.

If you fail to do so, the visual effect created is no less than the famous fairy tale "the emperor's new clothes".

To solve this problem, almost all clothing books can say that "because shirts were originally underwear."

(since 1800, there has been a habit of wearing underwear in dressshirt.

)

Hiding the shirt's hem in trousers is no more than torture for a lot of inconvenient people. It's understandable to wear shirts as underwear and not to wear them alone.

The most perplexing thing is that shirts, as a jacket, stipulate in the dress code that "the bottom of the shirt should not be exposed in formal occasions".

In many schools in the west, in addition to prohibiting "hair dye and smoking", it is also stipulated that it is not allowed to expose the shirt hem.

American football star Terrell Owens (TerrellOwens) was fined for violating the rules of pulling out his uniform shirt.

It seems that this is a rule that must be taken seriously.

For those with light weight, this way is reasonable. Placing the shirt under the trousers can highlight a good figure.

But for some middle-aged men who are fat and big bellied, it is absolutely a punishment for themselves to push their shirts over their tummy tummy and squeeze the only remaining poor hem into the way of trousers.

The late tenor Pavarotti had publicly complained about this problem. He had to customize his extra long shirt to cope with his uncontrollable stomachs.

How did this unfortunate dress code come into being?

In British Museum, there are several shirts that have been worn from eighteenth Century to nineteenth Century.

The length of those shirts is about the knee, and the yellow part of the lower part of the shirt's lower part is yellow. I think it should be covered by the crotch.

At that time, the shirt was equivalent to the present underwear. Maybe at that time, it was only for fixing it to put the shirt into the trousers.

If you can't just wear shirts on a formal occasion because "it's a former underwear", the reason why you can't pull the shirt off is because "the former part is men's underwear".

And if you don't hide your shirt in your pants, it's like announces to the people around you that you are a superman wearing underwear.

Never fasten your last button.

In the American drama "C.S.I (crime scene)", the detective was tied to three suits of the suit on the victim's body, and it was judged that the victim was not suicide, but the murderer put on his suit after he killed him.

"Never fasten the last button of a Western coat", I believe everyone will be confused when they see this dressing rule.

It is said that this is from Prince Elizabeth's son, Prince Welles, because he is too greedy for appetite. After every meal, he must untie the bottom button of his vest, and the attendant will have to unbutton the bottom button. Then it will turn into an unwritten rule that everyone must wear when wearing a suit.

When wearing a three button suit, you can only button the top and middle buttons or only one middle button.

If you wear a suit vest, you should unfasten the three buttons of your coat, and the buttons on the bottom of the suit vest should not be buckled.

If the two buttons suit is only the top one button, the four button can buckle the top three or the middle two. Anyway, the bottom button is the ornament, and it will never be buckled.

And when you sit down, remember to untie all the suit buttons, because all the clothes are designed for standing, which is doomed to sit down.

When the suit was buttoned up and sat down, it was even more awkward, so it was better to untie it.

Of course, when you sit down, remember to unbutton the button, and keep your buttons on when you stand up.

Recalling the usual awarding ceremony in the west, the winning male stars almost always buckle on their suits when they first stand up, then slowly walk up to the stage. Button buttons are not only the whole dress, but also take the whole mentality to walk slowly onto the stage.

Why must the shirt reveal the cuffs?

"The shirt is out of the cuff" is already known as the dress code.

This is really a lot of advantages.

Historically speaking, shirts have always existed as underwear since their inception.

What is the value of underwear?

It is to isolate the friction between the skin and the coat, and to protect the coat of the coat.

As one of the most expensive investments in clothing for men, suits are more expensive, so they need more special underwear, that is, shirts to protect them.

In order to ensure the best protection for the cuffs of a suit, the safest way is to make the sleeves of the shirt longer than the suit, so that the shirt can be exposed from the cuffs of the suit and completely isolate the friction between the cuffs and the skin of the suit so as to play a protective role.

In addition, according to the study, the cuffs of the shirts reveal the cuffs of western style suits. The performance of these two parts is conducive to making the arms look more slender and helps to make men's suits more stylish.

From a historical point of view, in the days when the collar sleeves of old shirts were still used, all kinds of fancy ways to hide such beautiful cuffs were immoral, so they would arrange cuffs to expose some centimeters of coats, so that beautiful cuffs could be fully displayed.

And when the suit and shirt came together, the dress rule of the shirt was also preserved. After that, it became an important rule in western style clothes.
