Men and Their Wardrobe Need

Most men always take a sober time to reflect on life and plans but they fail to turn around and look back at their wardrobe. The wardrobe needs of men are often neglected, especially when they assume

they are no longer boys.

 

We've rounded up a few of the most important wardrobe needs of men...

A 3 Piece suit that is well tailored and perfect fits: There are no more excuses anymore. You're an adult now. You need at least one tailored suit or two with perfect fit, preferably black and navy or black and gray.

Really, you should have both by now. What have you been doing all this time?

A nice blazer: A nice blazer will make sure that you don't overwhelm the room with a full suit when the occasion doesn't call for it. But it can also separate you from the crowd a bit.

Wristwatch: Even if you're not a watch guy, you should realize the importance of wearing a watch on some occasions. Drop a few thousands to get a timepiece that you can call your own.

A durable leather belt: Instead of going through belts every year like usual, invest in an expensive one that you can wear for years.

The perfect T-shirt: The perfect T-shirt is not a myth. You just have to find it. Probably get a good tailor, a Nigerian tailor or fashion designer if you are Nigerian base to sew to your measurement.

There is no better feeling than to wear a perfect fit shirt or best fit for any type of clothing. 

Nigerian Tailored Suit for Perfect Fit

As far as I’m concerned, there are far too many guys walking around in suits that don’t fit them and there’s no excuse for it.  I attend wedding occasions and I see men-on-suit, men-in-suit, men-by-suit, men-at-suit and so on. Hahahahaha! It’s funny though, but these names were coined according the fit of the suit on the men.

Ill fit can make a very expensive suit look tardy and trashy. I have also observed that

suit made in Nigeria are relatively less expensive to foreign suit or off-the-rack suit collection, the only different is that you will have to have a little patience to have your suit specifically sewn to your measurement.

Tailoring can make a relatively inexpensive suit look expensive, so for the guys out there who think that looking good in a suit is out of their price range – you’re wrong.

Off the track suit is already made with a client in mind, necessarily not you but when you meet Nigerian tailor or Nigerian fashion designer, they measure and sew to your specific, at the end of it, the jacket will fit you in the shoulder, it will hug your shoulders and encourage you to hold yourself upright.

Furthermore, the trousers fit you in the thigh rather than at the waist.

To help demonstrate what tailoring can do for a suit, my fashion designer at Dr.Legendclothing on 25, Fadunsi Street, Ogba Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria offered us to come and try on a few suits, and then get one tailored to our needs.

Exactly What Every Nigerian Tailor Does

Guess, you’ve probably made few trips to tailors in your life to take in (or let out) a dress or to shorten a pair of pants, shirts, suits, or native wears given to you as a gift. But there is much more our Skilled Nigerian tailors can do.

Choosing a tailor can be tricky – Nigerian tailors are loose and experience does not always equate to skill.  Oftentimes I meet someone who can do what I ask, but fails to point out what I asked for will ruin the look of the garment.  Other times I have been promised the whole world only to receive back a garment unfit to wear.  When you find a tailor that you like, one who understands your needs, please treasure that relationship because a skilled Nigerian Tailor can save you on a very bad day.

Most people confuse a Fashion Designer with a Tailor, the reason may be because both use the same tools and the end product is clothing. However there is huge difference in how they work. The tailors directly take client’s measurement and stitch the clothes according to the design given by the client. The Fashion Designer on the other hand is the creator of a new design. The Fashion Designer takes inspiration from different themes and draws new ideas.  We know the business of fashion and tailoring become more easy and intriguing if we have a tailor who is also a fashion designer. 

What Nigerian tailor does that Nigerian Fashion designers may not do.

1.         A Skilled Nigerian tailor makes, repairs, or alters clothing.
2.                 He/she makes customized dress for a client who walks in his shop        professionally.
3.              A Nigerian tailor usually makes dresses which clients might select from in magazines, newspapers, fashion shows etc.
4.        .    A skilled Nigerian tailor is satisfied only when the client is happy; if the client isn’t satisfied with the clothes, the tailor either works to meet expectations or make the client whole by refunding his money.
5.             A good Nigerian tailor offers guidance, on styles and can work on any body shape.  
6.             A skilled Nigerian tailor who understands his position and treasures his/her relationship with you will always be accessible. You want a professional that is accessible; when you find out a week before your wedding you’re a little too large for your once well-fitting suit, you want someone who can help you in a pinch, don’t you?

A good tailor is hard to find, but once you do they will help take any of your existing formal looks to the next level.

How dress code affects Your company Image

First impressions and overall judgments about people are formed by the way they dress. It is important that your standard of dress creates a positive impression. It is true that professionalism varies by industries, yet the relationship between the variance is strongly interwoven. 

You have to understand that no company standard of dressing is primarily designed for the employees; it is for the image of the business first. It is not the employees that pay the business; it’s the business that pays the employees.

When was the last time you saw a person in a suit struggling balance with a bus conductor or debating about any topic on the road?  When was the last time you saw a suited person sat beside a park bench eating gala and pure water? 

How we dress influences how we act. Put on a sporty, and you are more likely to argue every topic on the road. Put on a posh suit,senator-native-wear or agbada, and you are more likely to walk upright and proud. You wouldn’t be caught wiping your nose on your sleeve, or dabbing crumbs from your mouth. You wouldn’t do it because of what you were wearing. Dressing affects how we act, talk, and even how we conduct ourselves around other people. 

Even when your pocket is empty and you are wearing a nice tailored suit, it is difficult for people to call you poor, unattractive or unproductive.

Sequel to this, when people at your workplace are forced to wear suit, then people around them will start treating them differently too.

When you are dressed in proper business attire, it gives the message that you are dedicated to your position and it presents a visual image of your company.

It would be a shame to be overlooked for a promotion simply because of the way you dress. Unfortunately, this actually does happen quite often.

It is most important to get attention for great work rather than gaining attention for wearing the latest fashion trend, and if you must; go for a more conservative look.

You don’t have to have all the money before you can look good, wear a suit or appear professional. If you able to get a Nigerian fashion designer or a Nigerian tailor for those of us in Nigeria, who has been known for nice work and excellent customer satisfaction, you can be sure to get a fitted posh suit with cashmere material or any nice material of your choice. You can also get corporate shirts, pants, or skirts from any good Nigerian fashion designer or Nigerian tailor.

I wouldn’t be wrong to say that, I prefer a tailored suit, Nigerian-made-suit to foreign one, because after I wore a suit made by a Nigerian fashion designer, I decided never to buy a foreign suit. Dr. Legend Clothing dazzled me.

However, if you are dressed for work, then you are more likely to work.
