A Man’s Guide in Making the Right Sartorial Choices

 Written by :Paola Bianca F. Ventura

hhh1   It’s totally unfair for girls to spend the whole day to find the perfect pair of shoes that would match well with the sweeping gown that they have rigorously exercised for while boys could just wear the same coat and tie to just every occasion….. or could they?

The answer would be yes, if you are a man who doesn’t care about  what proper attire should be worn on a white tie event. OR you could opt to be a gentleman (at least on the outside appearance) and do some research before stepping onto the red carpet with flip flops. Yikes! OR WORSE, YOU COULD BE THE BRINGER OF PEACE WHILE WEARING A WHITE TIE TO A JOB INTERVIEW.

Worry no more, as we are here to get you covered. Just scroll down and get your pen and paper ready to take some notes!

1. CASUAL 

This is the easiest dress code. Just a good pair of jeans, an acceptable polo shirt will do just the trick. Even a simple T-shirt is fine as long as you put a polo jacket on top of it. Nice! as for the shoes, the leather ones are the way to go.

4.SEMI FORMAL DRESS CODE

Sit back, relax and enjoy. leave the top button undone and forego the tie.  This is usually what a gentleman would wear on a night out or while sailing towards God knows where using a private yat. You’re always the dashing debonair if paired with a good pair of boat shoes and a pair of dark wayfarers.

5.FORMAL DRESS CODE

This is the most stifling of all. Why? Because you cant even finish the word formal without choking on your caviar first. this requires clothes that most men do not have in their wardrobes. This is usually the dress code in
