Dress for the Occasion

Destination weddings, or traveling to a distant or exotic location for a wedding, are becoming increasingly popular. Wherever and whenever your wedding takes place, your look should blend stylishly with your environment. There are many options other than the standard black tuxedo. Just remember to keep it classic and tailored, not outlandish.<br /> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Summery Destination</b></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwjz_yMR7qMtDecCXKAqeGM8dIUv_6DCSS8Yj7fnUGHfkFwm8k0Z-YnJqNasv8OLBgZV5gmaRk7A_D0QzPRhcsQ5IYrb3RfthbP34exLxnPg3IjSCQ7CKYKv_wT_1BYLWawp7A7FI1_t5b/s1600/destination.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwjz_yMR7qMtDecCXKAqeGM8dIUv_6DCSS8Yj7fnUGHfkFwm8k0Z-YnJqNasv8OLBgZV5gmaRk7A_D0QzPRhcsQ5IYrb3RfthbP34exLxnPg3IjSCQ7CKYKv_wT_1BYLWawp7A7FI1_t5b/s320/destination.jpg" width="242" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A beige suit can be matched with a blue shirt <br /> and a slightly darker tie.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div> A <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Tien-Son-Custom-Tailored-Suits/Seasonal-Collection-Mens-Suits/Solid-Black-Custom-Tailored-Suit-Fabric" target="_blank">black tuxedo</a> most likely would be at odds with a tropical or beachside location like Maui. Instead, the groom should opt for lighter colors, particularly sand or beige. Based on the wedding colors, this can be mixed with a blue shirt and a darker<a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Accessories/Silk-Ties" target="_blank"> tie</a>, or a white shirt and a shiny pastel-colored tie. The light, airy colors will make the groom look at ease and integrated with his surroundings instead of overly formal and uncomfortable.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8Er4k0PjzdPNapZZKXkd6la-7Pk0D8ducOa4yhl2AAEYCgzFuhTFVmRsym2DCNcGbIDHXPRO-pSAtZEeG2HuhsevVchux5tobeKG8qkXhrKZwYPU47mqfU6CNZ3f6yKrmK2w1HEla4bJ/s1600/tailcoat3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8Er4k0PjzdPNapZZKXkd6la-7Pk0D8ducOa4yhl2AAEYCgzFuhTFVmRsym2DCNcGbIDHXPRO-pSAtZEeG2HuhsevVchux5tobeKG8qkXhrKZwYPU47mqfU6CNZ3f6yKrmK2w1HEla4bJ/s320/tailcoat3.jpg" width="226" /></a><b>Wintery Destination</b></div> <div> Black is perfectly appropriate for cooler climates or romantic locations like Paris in the winter, and you may want to consider going for a weather-appropriate <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Tien-Son-Custom-Tailored-Suits" target="_blank">3-piece suit</a>.

Suit Yourself: Suit tips for tall, short, large and muscular men

No two men have exactly the same body type, so why should they dress the same way? Using principles of balance and proportion, both men can look equally good. The secret is to trick the eye by avoiding emphasis of less-desirable features.<br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDY_2PfqtMbIFlrlUgQrTUj_I6BNuFqSu207ezjApIcv15duu6uXxJKeONacLmAULmKVMYdS57mKOOPmxEEJRUsRhCOjnTjLDivCGDt_zpiwerhhu9nohQ1rJLIEhzjNT7IVXiyamwcilJ/s1600/horizontal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDY_2PfqtMbIFlrlUgQrTUj_I6BNuFqSu207ezjApIcv15duu6uXxJKeONacLmAULmKVMYdS57mKOOPmxEEJRUsRhCOjnTjLDivCGDt_zpiwerhhu9nohQ1rJLIEhzjNT7IVXiyamwcilJ/s320/horizontal.jpg" width="213" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This horizontally striped shirt is perfect for <br /> men who want to balance out a tall, thin figure.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <b><br /></b> <b>Suits For the Tall</b><br /> If you're already of above-average height, chances are you want to avoid appearing even taller than you actually are. In this case, you should avoid closely tailored suits and vertical patterns (like pinstripes). If you're lanky and would like to appear broader and more muscular, horizontal stripes are key. You should avoid monochromatic looks; instead you should break up the sections of your body by wearing a <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Separates/Shirts" target="_blank">vibrantly colored and patterned shirt</a> with dark <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Separates/Pants" target="_blank">slacks</a>. Just make sure the shirt is perfectly tailored - not too tight, not too billowy. Choose a heavier fabric for your suits, and wear pants with a 1.5-inch cuff to add weight to your look.<br /> <br /> As for shoes, go with a square toe. The bluntness will offset the length of your legs, unlike pointed toe shoes, which will make your legs look disproportionately long. Add visual interest and weight to your look by including a <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Accessories/Pocket-Squares" target="_blank">pocket square</a> and <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Accessories/Cufflinks" target="_blank">cuff links</a>.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Suits For the Stout</b><br /> You may be tempted to hide under baggy clothes, but this will actually have the opposite effect and make you appear broader. Instead, you should opt for form-fitting without going too tight. Dark pinstripe suits are your friend, as they draw the eye up to the shoulders and make you appear taller and slimmer. Pointed shoes will help make your legs look longer. You should opt for <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Separates/Shirts" target="_blank">monochromatic shirts</a> and <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Tien-Son-Custom-Tailored-Suits" target="_blank">dark suit colors</a>. Avoid double-vented jackets, which will make your backside look wider.<br /> <b><br /></b> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwg16SVcxMoXqsRujK0ME0jfgOcDowEDBj6YBlRfAQHhuLrpxUHR2Cm10MzIMDWGg2dbf5UgjzBBdYgPQZqXTKKV2F-FZAjIcKvk6AkNuR-W_73LXQCYNGa4qailBvJEeDgBz3wtEHVEKk/s1600/317_5_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwg16SVcxMoXqsRujK0ME0jfgOcDowEDBj6YBlRfAQHhuLrpxUHR2Cm10MzIMDWGg2dbf5UgjzBBdYgPQZqXTKKV2F-FZAjIcKvk6AkNuR-W_73LXQCYNGa4qailBvJEeDgBz3wtEHVEKk/s320/317_5_.jpg" width="288" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A jacket without vents will minimize the hips and rear.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <b>Suits For the Short</b><br /> Large prints will diminish you, but small prints in black and white will flatter you. Avoid pointed shoes, because they'll emphasize the shortness of your legs rather than lengthening them. Instead, go with a square toe to add height. Go with a <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Accessories/Silk-Ties" target="_blank">skinny tie</a> to keep from overdoing the accessories.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Suits For the Muscular</b><br /> Minimize padding wherever possible, and go with a large lapel to offset the bulk of your muscles. Opt to have pleats in your <a href="http://tscustomsuits.com/Suit-Separates/Pants" target="_blank">pants</a>; the added volume will balance your lower body with your upper body. If you have a muscular lower body and a slim upper body, avoid vents in your jacket to keep the hips from appearing especially wide, and make sure your pants are closely tailored.<br /> <br /> For more style tips, follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/TScustomsuits" target="_blank">@TScustomsuits</a>.
