Style Guide

Whether you’re an office guy who needs to look sharp for the competition, or a creative type who dresses up because he likes to, the suit is the basic building block of looking good. It’s a timeless, ever adaptable, sometimes maligned, but never improved uniform. Consider the roots of that word: uni, as in a universally good idea to save your ass from the danger of too much choice: form, as in the opposite of formless, sloppy or unfocused. We’ll get to the specifics of lapel widths and armholes and vents, and how to do it right, but let’s first agree that this is where dressing like a man begins. Get the basics down and then you can lose yourself in perfecting the details.

Our mantra at Ravi Sehgal Bespoke is that it doesn’t matter what kind of suit you’re investing in, whether it’s a $200 or $2000, is flannel or seersucker, two button or three. We’ve seen plenty of guys who’ve bought the right suit, but let it hang off them like a box or some men who have bought cheap suits but well tailored suits who look like a million bucks. The thing’s got to fit right, or else there’s no point in wearing it. Question is, what’s the right fit, and how do you get it?
