Stock up on suits

It seems like Chuck has an abundance of suits up in his wardrobe, from his favourite purple suits down to his classic Old Hollywood-inspired white tux. Suits never go out of fashion, especially for well-dressed people. They are not only used for formal events, but also even during business meetings or other corporate affairs, to give you a respectable and elegant air. Men started wearing suits from the time of King Charles II of England. Since then, it has evolved into the modern business suits that men wear today.

Of course, you don’t have to restrict yourself to the common black suit paired with black pants type of thing. Chuck Bass has proven that suits need not be boring as they come in different colors and designs. If you think that you can pull off a certain suit design, why not try wearing it in the next wedding you are going to attend?

Accessorize with ties and cufflinks

Chuck Bass will never be caught dead wearing a suit without any accessories. Aside from his colourful suits, he is also well-known for his assortment of bowties, ascots, and pocket squares. Although you may not be Bass enough to wear a bowtie all the time, accessorizing your suit is always a must.

One of the things that go very well with a suit is a necktie. You need to match your tie with your shirt. A classic white shirt can be matched with any tie color, while a dress shirt with a solid color should be matched with a tie of the same color, but make sure it is either of lighter or darker shade. For checkered or striped shirts, make sure that your tie does not have a similar pattern.

Cufflinks are also another subtle yet elegant accessory that you can use to enhance your suit. You may choose from different types of cufflinks, from the formal engraved cufflinks to the casual novelty cufflinks. These cufflinks are equivalent to the numerous jewelries that women wear.

If you want to have durable cufflinks that you can use for almost any occasion, choose the ones made of steel or sterling silver. Titanium is also another option for the modern-looking man.

Chuck Bass will not approve

One of the fashion crimes that you should avoid is wearing a suit that looks like you just slept on it. Make sure that you iron your suits so that they end up looking crisp and clean. Also, make sure that you coordinate your outfit. Don’t wear too much pattern in one outfit. Combine your colors wisely.

Of course, you will not look half as hot as Chuck Bass if you do not groom yourself properly. Dressing well is not enough; you also have to ensure that you sport the total package. Be clean shaven and get a nice haircut.
