Buying the perfect complete<

Here you are on a mission to find an impeccable two-piece, walking the aisles of department stores with a question in mind: what to open your eye to find the right one?To find the model that will make you as a glove and that will cross years like parties, methodically follow the tracks of experts.

First step: sort

Simple like A B C!To pay the task of detecting a quality of quality, firstly decide the good grain of the tares.Let's see it more closely.

The price

To get your hands on a classic costume that you can still wear in a few years, you will pay at least $ 400 at Surmesur and more than $ 750 at Michel Brisson.There are cheapest in large channels.However, we must expect to make some compromise on quality and sustainability if you buy a complete at low prices.

The cup

A timeless style does not follow the latest trends.Opt for European minimalism which is chic in all circumstances and advantage most of the silhouettes - lengthening the smallest, suitable for the older ones and making the faster corpulents appear - assures Michel Brisson, owner of the shops of the same name.Concretely, choose it as curved as you allow you a certain comfort, while reminding you that a complete is not pajamas!Also remember that a too large jacket gives an impression of drooping shoulders, not to mention an old -fashioned air.

The colour

If you wish to go, head to an anthracite, gray or blue costume."Black is a classic, but can be too evening if you plan to wear it also to the office," believes Louis-Charles Plant, director of over-and-old shops who, as their name suggests, specialize in the making of personalized complete.For the lining, have fun!As it is hidden most of the time, you can afford more extravagance.

The subjects

Look for a 100 % wool model, a sustainable material that "breathes".For more ease, we sometimes add 2 to 5 % elastane.Know that certain materials, expensive and chic, will increase the full price.They are more refined, of course, but they are also more fragile and will require more care.

The quality

Does he pass the test?To find out, hang it: the sleeves and legs of the pants should be perfectly symmetrical, without deviating inward or outside.As for the seams, if they are well made, they will be regular and without undulations.

Second step: test the goods

The most chic complete will look like nothing if it does not suited your silhouette as it should.To be clear, put it on and scrutinize these points closely.

Collar: well adjusted, he adheres to the neck.

Spolvesters: they should encompass their shoulders, barely crossing their ends.

Rear slots: they have been planned for your comfort, and make sure you can slide your hands into your pockets when you don't know where to put them!There are generally two on a curved jacket.

Sleeves: Too long sleeves are a frequent error, notes the owner of the shops Michel Brisson.The reference is the junction between the base of the thumb bone and the birth of the wrist.Normally, the handle of the shirt should come out of half a pump from that of the jacket when the arm is lying along the body.

Reverse: their width should represent half that of a shoulder, specifies Louis-Charles Plant, which revolves around 3 in medium-sized man.As for the crossed setbacks, they regularly try to impose themselves, without mass success.You can of course choose the audacity, but a standard neckline is more classic.

Buttons: the unique button can look lost on a more corpulent silhouette.If you opt for a more trendy two buttons model, the label wants you to attach only the upper one.Explanation: you are looking to draw a "V" silhouette, therefore to emphasize the finest part of your trunk and not that where your abdomen reaches its full relief.

Handle buttons: there are generally four.In tailor -made confections, the last eyelet will often be different in color, a small fantasy that the tailors agree to leave their claw.

Length: when you are standing, arms along the body, the bottom of the jacket should end at the birth of the wrist, according to Michel Brisson, which is equivalent to the line that could be traced just below the buttocks.

Size: on the belt, the pants should fall on the hip bone.The sleek cut, without folds at the front, is timeless.

Legs: The pants should not break on the shoe;In other words, we should see your shoes when you stand, but not your socks.Sitting, that's another story!Remember to find a nice pair because they will be apparent in this case.

Third step: inspection and purchase

Last scanning of the chosen models: let's take a look at the general look.

Adjustment

In the end, the garment should follow the lines of your body without poaching on the back or collar.This is not the case ?Choose another model and...Come back to square one.It's not time to give up: you are almost there.

Complements: a question of balance

Know, gentlemen, that the final look will largely depend on the harmony between the proportions of your habit, those of your accessories and your silhouette.A strong man can afford more imposing setbacks, ornaments and details, while a slender man will have the opposite, underlines Michel Brisson, owner of the Boutiques Michel Brisson.

The equation is relatively simple.An example: a thin man + an adjusted complete + narrow reverse + a narrow tie + a discreet shirt collar = a winning result.

Good to know for the choice of accessories, this is where you are bursting or not, according to your tastes, your personality and the circumstances.Are you of the extrovert?Dare the color or the bow tie.Last detail, the tie should be knotted to the neck without the first button on the shirt being apparent, even if it means stuck your Adam apple a little.

Maintenance tips

So that the complete remains long, make sure you always suspend it on a hanger, not by the top of the pass or on the backsplash of a chair.To keep it clean, treat it like a coat."Men send their complete to the cleaner too often, which damages it.It is to be avoided!", Warns Louis-Charles Plant.Make it ventilate and clean the stains with a damp cloth.
