“You got to have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It’s a way of life. Without it, you’re nobody. I’m not talking about lots of clothes.” —Diana Vreeland . Hello Fam,last week we embarked on a suits affair https://wanjirukariuki.co.ke/power-suits-suited-like-boss/ . Today we will be focusing on a three piece suit.
A three piece suit as the name suggests is defined by its three basic components .The Coat, the pants, and a waistcoat thrown into the mix. I look at it as the new layering essential, because it gives you the chance to layer without the assumption that you are trying too hard, so effortless.
The beauty about a three piece suit is that it graduates you from a basic formal look, to a more polished, suave clean look. You can ignore the Coat and just wear the waist coat for a chic and sophisticated appearance. Alternatively you can ignore the waist coat to achieve a simple basic look.
When it comes to choice of color, it all depends with your personality and the intent of wearing the suit. e.g. to work, a wedding ,or even to a red-carpet event .A three piece suit is a very versatile number . Choice of fabric could also range from plain fabrics, pinstriped fabric, checkered fabrics and hound’s-tooth fabric too. All this is influenced by personal choice, style and personality.
Styling a three piece suit is not rocket science .Especially when it comes to choice of blouse or top .Get one that compliments the color of your suit .For a bold colored suits, go for neutral colored blouses/tops and vice versa .Same applies to the choice of shoes .Apply personal style in your choices and you will surely stop traffic, literally.
Our very own local designers have mastered the art of designing exquisite pieces as you can see from the pictures .House of gbemi did not disappoint me. Allow me to catch you later on the next post. Great weekend ahead guys.
