Men Suit Design

After spending alot time on my gowns & cheongsam, its time to focus more on AH's shirts & suit.. AH bought an OTR Tuxedo suit from Dan Stevensons at Marina Square last Dec.. There was a sale there and he was really blessed to have found a suit to fit him well.. Only the length of the pants needs to be altered.. Other than that, everything else fits perfectly fine.. :)

Initially we only wanted to have 1 suit to keep things simple.. But ultimately feel that tuxedo suit is more for the evening function & probably will match my evening gowns better.. Hence, decided to get another suit to go with the wedding gown.. But those OTR suits, are usually business suit, no choice but had to MTM one.. So I went on my trustful Google and start looking for men's suit design..

1. Peak lapel.. Lapel is the "collar" of the suit.  This lapel design is more commonly used for formal wear.. and was revived back to fashion by Armani in the 1970s.. Peak lapel suit is usually worn with French shirt & cufflinks to complete the formal look.  The classic design for peak lapel suit is with 2 buttons but recently the fashion is to design them with 1 button.



2. The tuxedo suit that AH bought is a one-button suit.. So thinking if we should get the same design or get a 2-button suit.. 2-button suit are more formal and it will also make the man slimmer..

3. As we wanted to keep things simple & minimal.. We decided to go without the waistcoat and cummerbund.. So its gonna be just a simple classic black suit with winged collar shirt to go with a bow tie..

Some tips I found on the net for groom's wear.. Hope it helps! :)
