Accessories You Should Don With a Formal Suit


Right Choice for Formal Suits 
Now that you have picked the right formal wear for a wedding or other formal occasion, you may want to compliment it with the right accessories. Getting right accessories that top of your appearance is as difficult as getting the right formal tuxedo or suit. No matter how classy your tuxedo or suit is, it's going to be incomplete if you don't team it with the right accessories. To assist you with this, some accessories are listed below that will make you look every bit the complete man.

Cufflinks
It's important to choose the right cufflinks to make a style statement. Cufflinks add to the elegance and boost your persona. There are numerous cufflink designs and colors available, so be careful with what you opt for. If you are wearing formal wear for a wedding party, you may go for a darker cufflink tones, however for a business meeting or a new business venture, red cufflinks are the best. Red color exudes determination and passion, making it a perfect choice to be worn on such occasions. Red cufflinks are bold yet sober enough to not catch too much attention. For evening wedding parties, gold or black cufflinks are undoubtedly the best choice, however for a daytime wedding event; you should go for silver or pearl.

Ties
Choosing a tie that matches your suit is not really that hard, but there are quite a lot of men who wear ties that really don't go well with their shirt. The length and the width of tie you are wearing should be in proportion with your size. For portly and rather large men, the length of the tie should be large enough to reach the top of the belt. For men with average or below average height, the tie should be long enough to reach the belly button. In case you're headed up for a business meeting, a red or orange tie on a white shirt attracts respect and attention. The same combo works best if you are going to make a business proposal or presentation. The most important is to keep your tie knots perfectly straight, if you want people to take you seriously. If you are a groomsman attending a wedding party, you should align the color of your tie with the main color of wedding.

Shoes
Designer shoes add a charm to the look of the men wearing them. Your ensemble is not complete unless you match it with suiting shoes. Designer shoes have a wide variety for different occasions. Designer shoes are prepared as limited edition shoes, which means their cuts and styles are like no other. Every shoe is different from another in styling and design. There is a wide variety of styles that represent men's edition footwear such as brogues, loafers and classic leather shoes. To match with a formal wear, you may go for brogues and loafers in leather in colors such as blue or black. These represent classic styles that mix with formal wear impeccably. Remember it's never a good idea to wear a black belt with brown shoes or vice versa. The color of your shoes should always go well or match with that of your belt. While talking about formal shoes or belt, the colors should never extend beyond black and blue.

Socks
It's necessary to wear relatively thin and ultra-conservative socks with formal wear. Other than neutral solids and muted, your choices don't go beyond patterns such as little dots of a similar color. The color of your socks should not be in contrast to your ensemble; it should match with your clothing. Also, your socks should be long enough to cover the skin on your calf and ankles when you cross your legs. Even though ultra thin nylon socks aren't totally essential, the socks you wear shouldn't be made of excess fabric, nor should they be extra cushiony.

Final Take
You need formal accessories for formal wear. Do not wear drugstore sunglasses or sports watches. An elegant timepiece caters well enough to the needs of modern formal fashion. Nothing comes at par with the sleekness and elegance of an Omega or a Rolex. If your budget is a little too tight for these, get yourself the cheaper yet formal looking Kenneth Cole or Fossil watches.

A formally dressed man should abide by these rules to look sophisticated and classy. A simple mistake in accessories may ruin the panache quotient of your outfit.
