Perfectly Suited

 
These head-to-toe tips will ensure your 
guy’s big-day look is tailor-made.

Smooth Operator
 

A properly fitted tuxedo jacket lies smoothly
from shoulder to shoulder across the back,
with enough room for comfortable arm
movement, (have your groom-to-be give you a
hug to gauge his comfort level). If the shoulder
padding extends beyond his shoulders, the
jacket is too big; if the jacket creases in the
back, it’s too small.

Vested Interest
Formal dressing requires that the waist of a
man’s trousers never be exposed. If your
guy opts to wear a vest, he should leave the
bottom button undone (the portly King Edward
VII started this trend at the beginning of the
20th century). If your groom chooses to wear
a cummerbund instead, make sure the pleats
face up.

Com-Pleat Package
If your fiance is tall and slim, flat-front trousers
are a great pick; they’re cut slimmer through
the legs and hug the hips nicely. Traditional
pleated pants have a more relaxed fit, making
them ideal for huskier body types. The pants’
crease should cross the middle of his kneecap,
and any pockets should lie flat against the leg if
they gape open, he needs a larger size.


Great Lengths
The standard length for men’s formal-wear
trousers is approximately one and three quarter
inches from the floor (shoes on); the
pant legs should break on the top of the shoe
and angle slightly downward in back.

Hot Under the Collar
If your guy complains that dress shirts are
uncomfortable, his shirt may simply fit poorly.
Have him do the finger test: When his shirt is
buttoned to the top, he should be able to slip
his forefinger between the shirt’s collar and his
neck. If more than one finger fits, the shirt is too
big: if his finger doesn’t fit at all, it’s too small.

Tying the Knot
Long ties are a popular choice in formal-wear
today; just make sure the tie is not so long that
it peeks out from the bottom of your groom’s
vest. If he plans on wearing a bow tie, remind
him that the wings of his shirt collar sit behind -
not atop - the tie.

2012 PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR

Dance into the New Year with this Vivacious and Appealing Reddish Orange 
Tangerine & Everyday
The 2011 color of the year, PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle, encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.
“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.” Over the past several years, orange has grown in popularity and acceptance among designers and consumers alike. A provocative attention-getter, Tangerine Tango is especially appealing in men’s and women’s fashion. Fashion designers featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Spring 2012, including Tommy Hilfiger, Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Steffe by Shaun Kearney, Elie Tahari and Adrienne Vittadini, are incorporating this attractive orange into their spring collections. A fun, lively take on a traditional autumnal hue, Tangerine Tango will surely carry through to fall fashion as well.
Tangerine & Make-Up
A winner in cosmetics because of its versatility, Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way. Add a sultry flair to lips, cheeks and nails with Tangerine Tango. An unexpected eye shadow color, Tangerine Tango is a complementary opposite that flatters blue or green eyes. When paired with brown eyes, it brings out an amber cast.
Tangerine & Formalwear 
Energize your wedding party with Tangerine Tango accessories! From the vest & tie to the pocket square or socks, tangerine will make a perfect wedding color for 2012!
