How To Wear A Men's Plaid Suit
Plaid, used in woolen patterned blankets from Scotland, is also known as "tartan," and it's used mostly in Scottish kilts. However, when plaid is used in the context of menswear, a plaid suit refers to one with a check pattern.
A plain suit is not in mainstream fashion, it can have an image of a past era, but it can also look very elegant when worn correctly. This look can be accomplished with a matching tie and shirt, it ties together to give the individual a bold new look.
Be warned though, if you get the look of the whole ensemble wrong, in the eye of the onlooker, you will have been personally transported back to that same era. That's why its so important to give plenty of thought to the overall image.
Plaid combines three different patterns to create an eye-catching design. Three styles of plaid are currently recognized: the window pane, glen plaid and the Prince of Wales.
Boxes that resemble windows, because of the lines that are formed, are called window pane. The design of buttons, pockets, lapels, and flaps are the forming blocks of the lines. The lines are not made into the pattern.
The glen plaid, in which colors and individual designs vary, is a very tight pattern with open boxes and checked designs. The interesting Prince of Wales is a combination of the other two styles: it blends the squared box design of the window pane with the close, tight patterns of the glen plaid.
The most important thing to remember when considering wearing a plaid suit is that it must be made to measure perfectly. If not, the whole effect is spoiled. The cut and fit is what makes it possible to transform an "oldies" suit to one suitable for the modern chic wearer.
Finally, the plaid suit will always be a very individual suit. You will stand out from the crowd, so make sure you wish to do so. At the office you will be perceived as a strong willed non-conformist. Ensure you will be comfortable with that perception.
