Step 2. Wear the dress with a quality shirt, belt, shoes and watch

Wear socks that match the color of the pants. If you want, wear diamond patterned socks, but only if your dress color and style is not very modern.

Step 4. Use a tissue

Fold it so that it fits snugly in your pocket and sticks out a bit.

Advice

  • Always dry-clean your dress and only if necessary. You may not even wash it for months if you treat it well and know how to iron it.
  • Europeans wear tighter clothes if they leave no space between the trousers and the shoe.
