#1 A three-piece suit can look dreary, unless the waistcoat is well-fitted and tapered close to the waist

#2 If you're going tie-less, make sure that your collar is on the smaller side

#3 Do NOT over-accessorize. A pocket-square, a tie bar, and a lapel pin is too much at once

#4 Always unfasten the buttons on your suit when you sit down. Always. NO exceptions

#6 For a proper-fitting jacket, you should be able to fit a fist between your buttoned-up jacket and your chest
