Proportion in dress is the foundation of all classic dressing. The truly stylish man knows enough about the rules to know how and when to break them.

A garment’s detailing must be in character with its fabric, or else, like a pinstriped suit with patch pockets or flap pockets on a tuxedo, the wearable’s integrity and classiness is compromised.

To assist some of the basic body types in choosing their tailored clothing, here are a few suggestions:

The taller the tree, the broader its branches, so the tall man needs fuller cut clothes for balance and style.

A man of any size, shape, or weight can look stylish in a double-breasted tuxedo; it just depends on how it is cut.

Shirts
Different collar styles also connote varying degrees of dress-up.

Spread collars are generally dressier than straight point collar and become even more so with each degree of openness. Tab, pinned, or eyelet collars can also give a fabric a more decorous look.

White contrast collars dress up any shirt no matter its pattern or color, and should only be worn with a French cuff in either self fabric or contrasting white.

Tuxedos and Dinner Jackets
The simple combination of richly textures black accented by fresh white contrasts bespeaks refinement.

Both single- and double-breasted models are equally authentic and correct. The single-breasted tuxedo or dinner jacket is worn unbuttoned, requiring its exposed waistband to be covered by a cummerbund or dress vest, and providing more opportunities for accessories and thus versatility. The double-breasted model relieves you of this additional layer around the waist, but the jacket looks better buttoned when the wearer is standing.

Men tend to unbutton it when seated, so this model ends up being fussed with more than its single-breasted counterpart. A double-breasted dinner coat is never worn with a vest or cummerbund underneath.
