When To Wear A Three Piece Suit - Wearing Vest With Single Breasted Suits - 3 Piece Suits

✅ Want to start dressing sharp today?

Three piece suits are my favorite kind. They REALLY command respect and will often lead to you being the best dressed gentleman in the room. I am looking to expand my selection by a few brands and colors to lend additional variety, but for the time being my singleton three piece suit is my go-to for a fancy night out.

I love a 3 piece suit I feel comfortable, confident, & classy!

I rocked my 3 piece to court a few different times. charcoal gray, light gray pin stripes, and a real pink tie in a double Windsor. judges always show love to people who dress like it matters.

Okay, really: Wear a 3-piece suit if you want to look good.  You can wear it just about any time.  Especially if you're going to wear a suit anyway.  Throw a vest on while you're at it.  Instant sexy.  It's all about the vest.  Just do it.  Question answered.

I reserve wearing 3pc for when I'm giving presentations, especially in front of business professionals. You mentioned, Antonio, that lawyers use it to their advantage by making them look more sophisticated and that's actually where I learned it. You only have so many seconds to make that first good impression and the 3pc, I've found, works well for me in accomplishing that.

I appreciate the advice, but I do it because I do need for the channel to be sustainable. My time is very valuable - and although I love to give and help men I only have 24 hours a day and have to pick and choose the best way to spend it - if this channel can become a business that makes money and helps men - that would be perfect!

A three piece suit is old school and probably the most formal attire below the level of designated "formal wear." They can be worn pretty much anytime a suit is appropriate. They also work well with a gentleman's hat and, again for those who like a more traditional look, a pocket watch. They have come and gone in style being big in the interwar years, especially the "roaring 20s' and they made a come back in the 1970s and 80s. Not sure if its just a blip or the beginning of a trend, but lately I've been seeing more of them.

Nice, helpful and well-presented video. I'd add that since YouTube has a global audience, it also depends on what sort of climate you live in. In perpetually warm countries like Singapore for example, you would never, ever see anyone in a three-piece suit, people would just think you were mad or hopelessly pretentious. Even the definition of black-tie had been diluted to suit the weather.

Also, it might be useful to include images in the video as a lot of styles are being referenced.

I wore one today. I didn't wear a blazer but I did wear a tie, formal grayish trousers, black formal shoes, tweed waistcoat which went well with the trousers, white shirt and tie. All with a black overcoat. I like to overdress, I think it makes a statement about your confidence as a person. Sure some people don't like it, but whatever. They're simply envious of your style and confidence. I like to wear morning suits, evening clothing, etc.

I like wearing waistcoats more than just wearing a shirt, tie, jacket, trousers. The Victorian Era were the masters at pulling off the "3 piece suit". If you don't have the exact same vest that goes with the jacket & trousers. No problem. Make sure you use contrasting colors to pull it off. Example I have & pulled off quite well. Black jacket & trousers along with a medium brown waistcoat while wearing a white dress shirt along with a purple tie. These are awesome contrasting colors that complement each other. Another route I go is with khaki trousers with charcoal gray waistcoat along with a dark red, blue,  or purple dress shirt with a khaki or bright yellow tie. You can use a black jacket to tie it altogether. The trick is to contrast colors when your waistcoats do not match to you jacket & trousers fabric color & pattern. To top my look. I wear a Bowler Hat along with a pocket watch. This is the style I enjoy the most & is a look that is coming back due to the Steampunk subculture.

I remember my grandfather only wore a 3 piece. He didnt own any normal everyday clothes. Whenever he needed some hed buy them and throw them out when he was done. Classy guy

[jurvangeel]

Hee,
I'm a university student and the only guy on campus that wears a suit daily (with exception to the fraternity boards)
and I was just wondering, what is your opinion on wearing the 3-piece as "full armor"?
Because personally I like vests(for their increased movability) and wearing a 3-piece leaves you the option of passing off the jacket (or giving it way) without the loss of formality and looking sharp.
And in such cases, would you recommend the business 3-piece or a contrasting vest?
Love your channel by the way

I just picked up a 3-piece today and was faced with the dilemma of when to wear it, thank you so much for the insight. You've got yourself a new subscriber.

[amourdeparis]

I say that 3-piece suits aren't necessarily just for more formal occasions. A professional man could wear a 3-piece suit to work. Just get the suit in blue or grey. Black 3-piece suits could be worn for weddings or funerals.

[RainMakeR_Workshop]

I personally use the weather to determine if I'll wear a 3 piece or not. I'm often in a 3pc during Autumn and pretty much always in one during winter.

WI is a great place - although the 9 month winters get old:)
