“When you wear a suit you should always strive to be the best dressed man in the room,” -Ini S. Ikpe
Suits are an ingrained part of American culture. From the frock, to the zoot suit, the three piece and big suits have been in existence from the very beginning. As of lately though, the suit resurfaced in modern street wear and mainstream pop culture. If you don’t believe me, just turn on your local radio station. I’m sure you will hear the song, “Classic Man,” which pays homage to the everyday suit wearing men.
A discussion of the well dressed man leads us to this week’s individual style feature. Today, our friend Ini S. Ikpe decided to show us what a “Classic Man” looks like.
Other than walking with confidence, the suit wearing man should oblige by another rule: 1) Fit is everything. Remember, big suits are relics of the nineties, and a horror to look at. When purchasing a suit, it’s best to have a tailor on standby. Not only does a tailored suit illustrate a more polished look, it also helps highlight your accessory pieces. For example, Mr. Ikpe chose a pink Calvin Klein shirt, knit tie, Goorin Bros fedora, a Daniel Wellington watch, and a Ralph Lauren pocket square to accessorize his look.
Remember, if you don’t have a tailor, there are also slim fit suits available for purchase.
To finish it off this look, Ini went with a pair of double monk oxfords. Notice how the colors chosen contrast the suit. Remember when wearing a darker color suit, it’s always nice to choose colors that pop out from the suit color.
So tell us, what do think of this look? Feel free to comment below.
Thanks for reading!
