Ever since the male fashion suit, as we know it today has been around, there have been tweaks and changes from year to year.  The bottom line is still that choosing the perfect suit depends on personal taste and preference and body type. The suit trends for 2009 and 2010 are classic and that is a good look in anyone’s books. Besides the trend aspects, there are other considerations when you invest in a new suit and these can make quite a difference to how you look.

Let’s talk buttons

The normal choice in buttons for male fashions suits one, two or three buttons. The number of buttons on a suit jacket has a visual impact and one button makes the wearer appear shorter and more compact, making it only suitable for the very tall.

Two buttons on the other hand gives a slimmer look to the waistline and makes the wearer look taller, so this is always a good choice. The three-button jacket of the 90s are back in fashion and of course it gives the illusion of even greater height, but not a look that is easy to pull off, so only for those with great self-confidence. This brings us to four buttons; yes, those are around at the moment and simply said, they look bad; it’s just too overdone.

Choose your cloth wisely

Male fashion suits come in many different fabrics and your choice of fabric is normally the biggest factor that influences the price. Your fabric selection will often depend on whether you want to wear the suit for many seasons, or if it’s a one-season buy. Wool has always been a clear favorite for durability and comfort. You can never go wrong with wool as long as you look at the thread count [120 – 150]. This ensures a good weave.

Cotton on the other hand is fashionable, airy and looks great in light and dark colors. Take note though, that cotton should always be worn as an informal suit and yes, it will crease quite a lot. Linen simply spells summer and is a great investment for humid climates and stands out in a crowd when worn in cream or white.

These are of course not the only factors that come into consideration when choosing male fashion suits. Mostly though factors such as shoulder padding and lapel styles boil down to what you as the wearer prefer and feel most comfortable with.

At the top of the list of cool male fashions is a jacket; in general lightweight, incredibly practical, water resistant and often also waterproof and goes with anything you are wearing. Sounds a bit too good to be true, but what has just been described is the Mac.

Unless you live in a semi tropical climate, all men need the jacket that is not only for looking good and keeping you warm. You need a jacket that is an all-rounder, the specific garment you grab on your way out the door and throw it on over whatever other layers you are already wearing. This is exactly what you get when you buy a Mac.

A wardrobe must have

A few years ago the Mac made a huge comeback and since then holds its top place as a cool male fashion item that you simply cannot do without. Macs are so incredibly popular with guys of all ages because it is just so incredibly versatile.

The big designers like Stone Island and Burberry hooked their wagon to the Mac and this pushed aware up about this great all-rounder. Don’t forget that this cool male fashion jacket can be waterproof, so if you want your Mac to be heavy-duty, look for one where the fabric has been treated for waterproofing, and you will be set to go.

Dress it up or down, it goes anywhere

Match a Mac with jeans, tee shirt and hi-tops and you dress it down for cool and casual.  Dress it up when you wear it with trousers and dress shirt or suit, it looks great when you simply button it up. Macs are not just for the young crowd, its design is classic so it spills over easily into the more mature wardrobe without you feeling you too old for such a cool male fashion jacket.

Add to all this the fact that the style simply won’t go out of fashion and you have a long-wearing jacket that will have far more worth over time than what you paid for it. The Mac is one of those essentials that you form the foundation of a stylish wardrobe.

You can choose between the two basic styles of Macs; the long trench coat or the cropped jacket to give even more scope for personal expression. If you haven’t bought at least one Mac yet, your wardrobe is sorely lacking.
