Q Hi,
I need your help. My engagement ceremony is in the month of June (Summers), I am looking forward for some good summer suits. My height is 5 foot and 11 inch, and weigh about 85 kgs.
Kindly suggest.
A

Thanks for asking suggestion.

You have average height and strong built the clothing you choose makes a significant impact and can effect a great impression. It is important that you look your best in your Engagement ceremony.

We recommend the following brands for 3 button suit.

All the above finer fabrics in light and medium shades can be used in summer. Also you can try the following fabrics,

  • Expressions – Fabric made from bamboo fiber and linen fiber can also be tried for summer suits.
  • Linen World - Collection of linen blended fabrics

For you it is best to go for the tailor made suit which give you the proper fitting and styling for your suit.

SHIRT AND TIE

For a dress shirt go for dark bright color like blue, wine, maroon in plain, dobby or jacquard. A shirt with self design will create more interest. Tie enhances the overall look. The basic rule for a tie is, the foreground of the tie should contain the color of the shirt and also integrate the color of the suit. The color of your tie should co-ordinate with the color of your suit or shirt. The tie can be in diagonal stripe or structured patterns.

ACCESSORIES

  • Pocket kerchiefs which will match you tie color.
  • You can add cufflinks with the shirt.
  • A nice belt required for the look.
  • Good pair of shoes and socks is also required for your complete look.

Narrow toe shoes in vogue, you can definitely go for that. But one thing remember the shoes will be comfortable while you walking.

We will be pleased to have the feed back from your side.


Q I bought a cream textured bandgala jackeet with golden buttons. I cannot find trowser of same textured colour. What colour pant will go well with it. I mean plane (not textured cream) or some other colour?
A

It is good to have the same color trouser with the jacket, but a fashion freak could try for the different mix and match. You can go for the same cream color trouser or you can choose a dark brown or chocolate color trouser.
