The Magic Of Three Piece Suits




 Every man should own a tailored three piece suit, one that fits like a glove and boosts the esteem. Something about the feeling of wearing a nice suit, there really is nothing like it.

But it also depends on what kind of image you want to give off to the world. When you push the sides of your jacket back and put your hands on your hips in a two-piece, there’s something that’s both put together and yet still a bit carefree about the image. When you do the same move wearing a three-piece, you look like you own the place and you’re trying to decide whom you’re going to kick out or fire first. It says to the world, “I’m in charge, and I didn’t just dress up. I extra dressed up.”
