The first time you buy a formal dress, just pay attention to these points, you will not spend two months to buy a bad dress.

"Men must have a good dress."

This is almost everyone's consensus, a set of the elegant dress is not only a weapon for the girl, but also a prerequisite for your promotion and salary increase.

"Sorry, I don't buy a house."

Don't be sad, in fact, most people buy a formal dress for the first time and the results are not good. The biggest problem is that they don't fit.

The reason for not fitting is very simple: almost everyone buys a formal dress for the first time and goes to the mall to buy ready-to-wear. At this time, the clerk will come over and happily come over and you will only have two routines -

"This suit is a Korean version, especially for you, wearing a special slim!"

"This set is a formal dress. The dress is fat and big, and it looks like you are very mature and steady."

Don't believe this kind of thing! Even if it is Jack, it is not the same as the old cadre.

As long as you buy a ready-to-wear, you can't fit completely.

The ready-to-wear garments in the shopping malls are all produced by the assembly line. The size is generally only 5-7. The layout design is also based on a figure, so basically, the probability that everyone directly buys a garment and fits is basically zero.

Moreover, in order to reduce the probability of returning goods, garments generally make a lot of places to be too long and long, and the errors in various sizes are even larger. It seems that the shoulders may be long and the sleeves may be long, and the sleeves may be fat.

There are about three points in the standard of dressing fit:

• The buckle cannot be pulled up as a whole.

• The sleeves should be on the wrist to ensure that the sleeves of the shirt are exposed by 1 cm.

• Pants should just touch the upper of the shoes

Customization can perfectly solve the fit, all the sizes are adjusted according to your size, and every detail is perfectly stitched.

Many people think that tailoring will be more expensive. In fact, there are many price points for a custom dress.

Cheaper ones can be made for a few hundred dollars, and a hundred-year-old shop like the British "Savile Row-Savile Street" can be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Tens of thousands of clothes are simply wearing a car.

In fact, a good suit does not need to be so expensive.

Excluding brand premiums and service levels, the biggest gap in dressing is in fabric selection and polishing of small details.

Believe me, as long as the conditions permit, the man's first suit must be customized.

Today I will give you a tip: custom fabric choices and details to be noted.

Fabric

Fabric is the top priority of a formal dress.

A lot of costumes that look like they are almost the same. Some people wear an annual salary of 5 million. Some people wear second-hand house brothers. The biggest difference is the fabric.

A good fabric looks firm and textured on the body and is not easily deformed when stored.

Judging the quality of the fabric is not complicated, there are three very simple criteria: ingredients, counts, and brands.

The first is the ingredients, the fabric must be pure natural ,if you find artificial ingredients in the ingredient list, such as chemical fiber, nylon, this fabric should not be considered.

The artificial ingredients will make the fabric look cheap, shiny like a black garbage bag, and the second-hand house brother can always be recognized at a glance.

There are also many kinds of natural fabrics. Wool is more common and basic, and the price is also suitable.

Better and more expensive are "Merino Wool", "Mohair", "Cashmere", "Pashmina", "Shahpashm" and the lovely hippocampus "Vicuna" and "Guanaco".

Most people think that 100% of the wool is the most expensive, but it is not. Wool fabric blended with natural fabrics such as silk and hemp is more expensive.

In addition to these more traditional fabrics, there is also a distinctive fabric "Harris Tweed".

Harris Tweed is a generic term that refers to fabrics produced in the Hebrides Islands outside Scotland and bearing the "Ball and Maltese Cross" logo.

According to the Scottish government, Harris Tweed must be produced in the Outer Hebrides Islands, and the islanders must complete all production processes at home.

Strict control of quality.

Each islander can only have a maximum of three spinning machines. It must be completely man-powered. All dyes are also required to be natural dyes, so Harris Tweed is also a very environmentally friendly fabric.

In addition to the fabric composition, the "count" is another important criterion for determining wool fabrics, generally indicated by the letter "s".

The algorithm of the count is not easy to understand. For the audience, just remember that the higher the count, the thinner the yarn, the softer and smoother the fabric will be.

In general, more than 100 fabrics are enough for most straight men to attend various occasions. The higher the count, the more expensive the price, the better the quality, but it does not make sense to pursue high counts.

The fabrics with high counts are not only unfriendly, but also have low durability, and they have to worry about taking care.

It is said that Prince Charles wears fabrics of more than 140s, but people are royal aristocrats. They have clothes hangers for undressing, and clothes are not used for their own care. They are not suitable for ordinary people to learn.

Although the count is a very important standard, there are exceptions. For example, Harris Tweed usually has no more than 40 counts because of its special craftsmanship, but no one takes the count as a measure of how good Harris Tweed is.

There are also brands such as "Ermenegildo Zegna - Zegna" that do not indicate the count. They believe that the brand alone is enough to support the field, and the standard of counting is not important at all.

Even the same number of fabrics will have some differences, which is mainly reflected in the quality of the wool itself and the processing technology. The most intuitive way to distinguish this difference is the fabric brand.

The average person has no idea about the fabric brand, but it is really important.

When you buy a formal dress, you need to pay special attention. A good fabric brand usually prints its own logo on the inside of the formal dress.

I am here to introduce you to several brands, so that when the princes are taken by the clerk, they will be fooled.

At present, the famous fabric brands on the market are mainly Holland Sherry, Dormeuil, Zegna, Loro Piana, Cerruti 1881, VBC and REDA.

Such as Dormeuil, Zegna, Loro Piana are all relatively high-priced fabrics, the general suit custom shop with such a fabric to do a formal dress is basically more than 30,000 yuan.

Du Shao prefers cost-effective fabric brands such as Vitale Barberis Canonico (referred to as VBC) and REDA.

Many of the big-name garments are made of these two fabrics, and the price is about a few hundred dollars a meter.

Fabrics are the most important part of formal wear. The audience masters can pick up the fabrics with higher quality and cost performance as long as they understand these three points.

Said a half-day fabric, then is it a good dress to buy a good dress?

It is not enough. For a formal suit, the fabric is indeed the most important and basic, but in addition to the fabric, determine whether a dress is a high quality and the following three details.

1. Button:

Among the details of the difference is easy to distinguish is the button, there are many kinds of dress button material, horn buckle, shell buckle use more and the quality is higher.

There are also some dresses that will use metal buckles because of the design. A high-quality button will cost tens or even hundreds of yuan.

Although there are many kinds of buttons, the buttons of good dresses must be made of natural materials. The buttons of artificial materials like plastic and resin can only appear on the 299 packages.

2. Tailoring:

In addition to the material of the button, there are a lot of details on the cut.

For example, in the collar part, a good dress collar is naturally folded instead of being directly burned. This will have a natural curvature and it will look very natural.

In addition to the collar, the cuffs of the dress should also be diagonal, that is, you put the sleeves flat and the cuffs should not be completely flush. Because if it is a flat cut, when the arm is raised, it will show too many shirt cuffs.

Also in the oblique cut in the pocket of the front chest, so that when worn on the person, the pocket will be flat on the chest.

Many viewers may never have noticed that so many places are not flat.

In fact, the trousers of the trousers are not flat, because the front end of the shoes is higher than the rear end, in order to ensure that the trousers can just be covered to the upper, the trousers should be short and long.

3. Flower insert hole:

Most of them are mounted on the collar and there will be a small hole called a flower insertion hole. This is a very well-understood thing. It is really a flower arrangement. When the lords need to attend a more formal occasion, he will come in handy.

Don't look at just a small hole, a lot of cheap dresses are not even open, just use a machine to sew a circle of pretending holes.

But the good dress is the small hole that is hand-stitched.

In addition to these points, there are a lot of salespeople who like to say "match" in formal dress. It often seems like this is a high-level technology. The so-called match is to put the stripes or plaids neatly together in the place where the fabric is spliced.

In fact, most of the dresses are correct.

Don't be fooled by it and think that this is a godsend. What's important is Du Shao's fabrics and details mentioned above.

Regarding how to choose a dress that is cost-effective and suitable for you, the audience masters should have a good look at these.

In the aspect of buying clothes, Du Shao has always insisted that men should buy the best within their own capabilities.

This is especially true for formal wear.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you have limited ability. These methods are equally useful for the choice of ready-to-wear.

All in all, no matter which one you buy, it is enough to read this article.
