The impressions of it will remain for a lifetime, and they will remind you of themselves for a long time in the form of photos from posts on social networks. For the event to be successful, you need, first of all, to ensure that the graduate is in a good mood. Beautiful and comfortable clothes will contribute to this in the best possible way. This is exactly what a graduation suit for a guy of 2024 should be, which must be chosen with special care. A well-fitting wardrobe set will give the student self-confidence. Thanks to this, the evening will go well and will become one of those magical moments that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Fashion trends
Every graduate dreams of winning as many girls' hearts as possible. Almost all young men want to look like, if not James Bond, then probably one of the superheroes of the Marvel universe. Therefore, a graduation suit should fit well and be trendy. To put together the look, you need:
- blazer;
- trousers;
- shirt;
- going out shoes;
- belt;
- decoration in the form of a tie or bow tie.
There are several types of suits. Depending on the formality of the event, you can vary between styles. In a classic suit, straight trousers are paired with a jacket of the same style. Casual suits involve a tapered cut of the bottom part in combination with a fitted top. The trend is for skinny straight trousers, as well as an English suit with 7/8 trousers, which are worn with a very low toe, invisible from under the boot.
Cropped skinny trousers are only suitable for guys with a thin build. Well-fed young men will look even heavier, and the short length will only emphasize the fullness of the legs.
The sets can consist of only a jacket and trousers, such a suit is called a "two-piece". Such options will suit any build and will be appropriate for different levels of formality. If there is a vest, the suit is called a "three-piece". Since it is not common, it will be appropriate either for a very formal setting or for images with an element of humor. "Threes" are not suitable for plump guys, since the vest unfavorably emphasizes the protruding parts of the body.
The most frivolous option may be a combination of a jacket and jeans. In this case, it is worth choosing a top made of an unusual material, for example, velvet (blue or crimson), corduroy or suede. Such options are now at the peak of popularity, but do not look formal, and, like other unusual images, may unfavorably distinguish the owner from his friends. A tuxedo or tailcoat will look exclusive. It is important to understand that only white shirts can complement them.
If a young man is finishing 9th grade, a shirt and trousers will be enough. A casual set consisting of jeans, a T-shirt, a jacket and sneakers (trainers) is also acceptable. At the graduation after 11th grade, it is advisable to appear in a good suit, because this day will remain in the memory of classmates as the boundary between school and adulthood.
The nuances of fashionable cutting
Modern clothing departments offer a wide range of models in different price categories. Men's suits for graduation are made for different height and fullness parameters. When standard models do not fit due to individual characteristics, you can order tailoring in a studio or from a seamstress. This option will cost more, but will look perfect.
If you plan to wear a jacket and trousers to the prom, you should buy them together, preferably from the same collection. Even a slight difference in color or texture of the fabric will be noticeable from the outside and will catch the eye.
The top and bottom parts are not always identical in color. Even in branded departments, there are stylish sets in which the trousers are significantly darker or lighter than the jacket. If you are planning such an image, you can buy all parts of the set separately. Sometimes differences in texture are also acceptable, in which case it is desirable that the top part of the suit be denser.
Blazer
The jacket should fit the figure perfectly. Some young men, trying to correct the shortcomings, make mistakes. You should not stop at the shoulder line of a too wide cut, trying to make this part of the body larger. A voluminous thing will look like it is from someone else's shoulder, and the figure will look thinner. The same applies to too narrow shoulders, such a jacket will not create the best impression. The sleeves should also not be short, with an arm extended forward, the normal length always reaches the wrist.
Slim, fitted, short jackets are at the peak of popularity. Such models suit slim young men without pronounced volume on the stomach. The front shelves of the jacket and the sides should lie flat and not stick out. For warm weather, you can choose a model without lining fabric. In this version, it will not only be more comfortable, but the shape of the thing itself will be preserved for a long time.
Shirt
Since the official part of the event is often followed by entertainment, there is a high probability that the young man will spend the most fun part of the holiday taking off his jacket. Therefore, it is the shirt for graduation that needs to be chosen with special care. This part of the image should meet the following requirements:
- sits well in the shoulders;
- not be too wide so as not to bubble at the back;
- have sleeve length just above the knuckles;
- not be short, so that the shirt tails do not stick out from under the trousers.
The collar should be without creases and well ironed. A simple classic version, with uniform deposition of parts, a tab with elongated tips, an elegant bow tie are popular. A long Italian collar without a pronounced rigid base or a shark with cut ends will suit a casual style. A shirt with a neat oxford, which is attached with buttons to the thing itself, can only be worn without a tie. Cuffs are fixed with buttons or cufflinks. But since the latter are not very comfortable to wear, it is worth thinking about how much such decor is needed by a graduate.
Trousers
For graduation, a guy should choose trousers with a perfect fit. The parameters will be individual for each case. There are several recommendations that it is advisable to follow.
- The items should not be short, so as not to create the impression of “baby pants”.
- Trousers should not be long, as a wrinkled bottom edge leaves a sloppy impression. If the length is excessive, it is recommended to hem the item yourself or contact a tailor.
- Trousers should not be wide unless the chosen style of suit implies this.
When choosing a suit for graduation 2024 in a casual style with a narrow bottom, you need to look at the composition of the fabric. It is desirable that there are elastane threads. Otherwise, if the trousers are too tight, there is a risk of seams diverging.
If the model implies the presence of arrows, they must be carefully ironed. Sharp lines must be single, without the presence of duplicate elements, go from top to bottom and be in strict accordance with the cut, symmetrically on both sides.
When choosing trousers for a prom suit, it is worth considering the features of the figure. Thin young men should choose voluminous models, and full ones will suit straight-cut items. Athletic guys should choose narrow options to emphasize a strong physique. Short young men are not recommended to have excessive volume, and tall young men need to ensure that the trousers are not short, if this is not implied by the style.
Stylish color solutions
When choosing the color of a suit, it is worth considering fashion trends. Classic black is not in trend, as it looks too formal. In addition, this color attracts the sun's rays, which can cause discomfort in hot weather. If you need a black item, then you should take a closer look at a set with dark trousers and a jacket of a lighter tone. The following color options can be an alternative:
- Gray jacket. Will look good with a blue or peach shirt. You can complete the look with black or brown shoes.
- A blue model that will go with a light blue or pink shirt and black, dark purple or brown shoes.
- Brown jacket. Will look good with a yellow, pink-orange or blue shirt. Additionally, black or brown shoes are selected.
- A beige example that will go well with a dark blue or light blue shirt paired with brown or black shoes.
If you want to dilute a solid color with a printed pattern, you should give preference to stripes or checks. You can also liven up your look with accessories, for example, complement the look with a stylish tie or wear an elegant bow tie instead. A clean, ironed handkerchief in your breast pocket can be a small but interesting accent. According to trends, it, like a tie or bow tie, is matched to the color of the shirt. Blue or burgundy tones will suit a blue, pink or gray item, and blue, dark pink or brown accessories will suit an orange, beige or blue item.
If you want to look different from the majority of graduates, you can choose an unusual color scheme. A white suit for graduation will look impressive. But in order not to look like a nurse from the staff room, it is better to complement it with a dark blue or brown shirt. Shoes and a belt of the same color will complete the look. A bow tie for a light suit is chosen in black, white, brown, gray, red. A tie can be milky, dark, gray, with a geometric print, in the same color as the vest, in a bright color (red, pink, purple, light blue, light green, orange, blue).
You can also stand out with other colors. For example, a red suit paired with a pink or blue shirt will be unforgettable. A yellow set with a green shirt will also make an indelible impression. And a bright blue suit can be complemented with a blue shirt in a large check. Such color solutions are extremely rare, and if you want something unusual, it is better to contact a tailor in advance.
When you want variety, but a colorful suit for the last bell seems too much, you can choose a bottom in a classic calm color scheme, and a top in a more radical color scheme. Possible options:
- a crimson jacket with a pink shirt and grey trousers;
- emerald with a black or gray shirt and dark-colored pants;
- mustard jacket with light blue shirt and dark blue or gray trousers.
With very bright colors, you can refuse a tie or other additional accessories. The shade of the tie is selected to match the guy's skin color. You need to bring the fabric of the accessory to your face: if the look becomes pale, then it is better to choose a different color.
Material for the suit
Considering that the graduation celebration is held in the summer, it is advisable to choose a fabric that will not make you feel hot. In addition, the material should not wrinkle quickly so that the suit does not lose its appearance. In addition, not all fabrics retain color equally well and have the necessary texture. The thickness should be small, and the shade should be uniform. The optimal choice may be fabrics:
- seersucker, which has a ribbed texture and a matte finish;
- linen, which will look good in casual style models;
- thin tropical wool, which is lighter than regular wool due to the fact that twisted threads are used in production, and also almost does not wrinkle;
- cotton that allows the body to breathe.
Avoid fabrics with a high synthetic content. A large amount of artificial fibers will contribute to overheating and chafing. This will lead to discomfort, and the graduation party may be ruined. The shirt should be chosen with the most natural composition, which should include cotton, viscose or linen. Traditionally, oxford material is used to make this item of clothing.
Shoes and accessories
In addition to choosing a suit for graduation for a guy 2024, you need to carefully approach the selection of shoes. Shoes for men are a kind of business card. It is by their condition, as well as by their appearance, that you can try to determine the taste preferences and lifestyle of a young man. In addition to the fact that the shoes should be clean and shiny, the model should be selected in accordance with the overall style of the image:
- for a traditional option, neat oxfords, slippers or derbies are suitable;
- A stylish casual suit or a model in a bright color will be complemented by loafers or monks.
Under classic models of trousers for graduation for boys or older young men, you should not wear trendy models of bright colors. It is better to choose calm colors of leather or suede without decorative and metal elements. The toe should match the color of the boot. For trendy models, it is worth considering options of bright colors with stitching or other fashionable details.
If the trousers are short and reveal the ankle according to the style, then the socks should be chosen in such a way that they are not visible from under the boot. In this case, the shoes are one of the accents of the image, so they should not be too wide and dangle on the legs when walking. It is worth paying attention to the belt, which should be the same color as the shoes. Trendy images can be complemented with neck jewelry, for example, leather laces, fashionable bracelets or pin a flower. To create a hooligan image, it is recommended to use decorative colored suspenders, as well as a hat with narrow brims.
Tie or bow tie
Choosing accessories for a boy or a young man for a festive event is not an easy task. The completeness of the "look" as a whole depends on how well all the elements fit into the image and how harmoniously they are combined with each other. There are several simple rules that can help in choosing.
For classic style suits, it is worth choosing a tie. It is important to tie it carefully so that the length reaches the waist and touches the belt buckle on the trousers. The color should match the shade of the shirt. There is no need to chase monochromatic models, beautiful colors with a pattern look livelier and more interesting. To attract attention, you can choose a tie with an image of a plant, animal or famous person.
To prevent the accessory from falling forward at the table or sticking out over the jacket, it is worth using a special clip, it will allow you to securely fix the tie.
Youthful trendy casual style options, as well as their antipodes in the form of tuxedos or tailcoats, imply the presence of a bow tie. The principle of selection is the same - it is important that the accessory harmonizes with the color and style of the shirt. The tie and bow tie can be complemented with a pocket square. It is better to buy a set at once, since both accessories should go well with each other.
To add a touch of aristocratic sophistication to your look, you can use a neck scarf. It looks great when paired with three-piece suits or looks without a jacket, with a shirt and vest. The color scheme should match the look and be combined with the main elements of the "look".
How to wear
Currently, the trend for single-breasted jackets for men is firmly holding. Regardless of whether they go with a suit or are purchased separately, they must be buttoned correctly. Most often, there are from one to three buttons. In the case when there are two or more such fasteners, the bottom one should always be unbuttoned. Only a fitted model with tapered cropped trousers can be buttoned with all buttons. In other cases, you should wear a jacket as follows:
- if there is only one button, it should always be fastened;
- if two - only on the top one;
- when there are three of them - on the middle one with the bottom one unbuttoned, and the top one can be buttoned or not.
If you have a vest and a shirt or just a shirt, the rules are exactly the same. If the "look" does not include a jacket, the buttons on it are fixed according to the same principle. The history of the unbuttoned bottom button goes back to the distant past and has become a generally accepted norm of etiquette.
To attach a tie to a shirt, clips are used. But they are used not only to give a stable position to the accessory, to prevent it from falling out of the jacket, shifting or sagging. A clip, like a cufflink, is considered proof of good taste, a solid social status and is the finishing detail of the entire image. It is selected to match other metal accessories (cufflinks, belt buckle, watch bracelet).
Do not wear a clip with a vest or sweater. The device should be used to grasp both parts of the tie and the shirt between the third and fourth buttons strictly parallel to the floor. The length of the product should be slightly less than the width of the tie (not vice versa). It is better to refuse the clip altogether if it is a cheap, low-quality item. To look stylish, you should choose only expensive items.
When choosing a suit for a graduate, you should always give preference to models that match individual parameters. A jacket, shirt and trousers that are intended and specially selected for an event at school or university will make staying in them comfortable throughout the graduation evening. And this means that the impressions of this event will remain a pleasant memory for many years.
