Suit Jacket, Skinny Tie, Tie Bar, and Belt - Men's Outfit Feedback

About this video

Weston provides styling feedback on a viewer’s business casual office outfit, addressing the mismatch between jacket and pants, cautioning against wearing formal satin-lapel jackets casually, and offering specific guidance on tie bar sizing and placement along with belt-to-shoe color coordination.

Key takeaways

  • Weston argues that a jacket and pants must match to constitute an actual suit; mismatched pieces create a business casual outfit instead
  • Weston cautions against breaking up formal suits with satin lapels into casual office wear, recommending they be worn complete to black-tie events only
  • Weston recommends tie bars should be half to three-quarters the width of the tie and positioned between the third and fourth button, roughly aligned with the breast pocket
  • Weston advises matching belt color as closely as possible to dress shoe color for a cohesive look
