1. A three-piece suit can look dreary, unless the waistcoat is well-fitted and tapered close to the waist
2. Always unfasten the buttons on your suit when you sit down. Always. NO exceptions
3. When wearing a light-colored suit, a dark pocket square can provide a visual anchor
4. Never pair a sports watch with a suit. Ever. Get yourself a proper watch
5. Remember to ALWAYS remove the stitching on the vents before wearing a new suit
6. If you're going tie-less, make sure that your collar is on the smaller side
7. For a proper-fitting jacket, you should be able to fit a fist between your buttoned-up jacket and your chest
8. A patterned over coat is a great compliment to a neutral suit
9. Your tie bar should never be wider than your tie
10. Don't be afraid of polka dots
11. The bottom button of a double-breasted jacket should never be fastened
12. Do NOT over-accessorize. A pocket-square, a tie bar, and a lapel pin is too much at once
13. A bold tie should be paired with a subtle shirt
14. The fabric of your suit should depend on how often you'll be wearing it. You'll want to go with more durable fabrics for daily wear.
15. Pick-stitching (or visible stitching around the lapel) can add a decorative flourish, if they're subtle. Contrast stitching is just a no.
