🇬🇧 Enhance your personal style wearing a suit

How to enhance your personal style when wearing a suit?

Hi, I'm Nycka Nunes, I'm a stylist and visual artist and I've worked in the fashion industry since 1981, having developed many skills through my experiences in fashion. In this text I'm going to talk a little about personal style when suits are part of your life, whether routinely or occasionally. A well-dressed man needs to know how to wear a suit, and a man who wants to go one step further and highlight his individuality, using his personal image as a non-verbal communication tool needs to know how to do this without limiting himself to common options of black, grey and navy blue suits of very similar models. By wearing a common suit you are positioning yourself as a commodity, someone with no differences, no value. This is what you want? Even in the business world, dressing with personality, having qualified professional guidance to make good style choices, can help you be more successful. Because anyone can have that firm handshake.

Many men limit themselves to common options because they don't see different options in the stores they frequent. The fear of making a mistake when choosing something different is also a common reason for looking for colour options and clothing models that blend in with the crowd. The big problem with this is that it is a wide and flat path to expose insecurities and a certain immaturity, as the need to blend into a group to be accepted is typical of teenagers, not adults.

An example of tastefully breaking these standards is an appearance by actor Eddie Redmayne on the Bafta 2023 red carpet in a black jumpsuit (in my opinion, one of the best male celebrity red carpet appearances of all time, not including the MET Gala, where the dress code tends to be more creative, although few men dare to be creative there either). There are ways to change with different models and colours of suits and also with prints. Let's face it, just changing your shirt and tie doesn't change anything. Another possibility is to change your shoes. Of course, changing just one item doesn't help much in expressing your personal style, but it's a step in the process. As it is a process that evolves as the client becomes more comfortable with the changes and understands the purpose, I recommend the annual service.

Immaturity is not an identity. It's a choice. It's choosing to ignore your own identity. And without identity there is no true personal style and your clothing choices only reveal insecurities and negative aspects of your personality. I know that many men are confident and emotionally mature, but they don't know how to express these and other qualities through the clothes they wear. If you are one of them, I invite you to follow the instructions on the services page and hire me as your stylist.
