When is a red suit appropriate?
In Eastern culture, unlike European culture, red is traditionally considered a masculine color. It is a symbol of courage, assertiveness, and strength. That is, all those traits that are traditionally included in the list of the main advantages of representatives of the stronger sex.
Of course, a red men's suit will not be appropriate in all situations. You shouldn't dress like that for work. It is also not suitable for formal events that require a strict dress code.
Red color is created to attract attention, so it should be chosen for an informal, but quite solemn event.
For example, wear this type of clothing to a prom . The groom can wear a red suit to his wedding. But if you are invited to a wedding as a guest, then you should not choose such a bright suit, so as not to distract attention from the hero of the occasion.
This type of clothing is suitable for creative individuals; a red suit can be worn to a party, opening day or creative evening.
Red color in men's clothing. Power and wealth
We are talking about experiments conducted several years ago by scientists from the University of Rochester. Scientists were asked to test whether the red color effect actually exists. A group of women were shown pictures of men wearing red and green clothes.
Red color in clothes enhances the dominant image of a man
“Almost all women chose men in red clothes,” the newspaper Die Welt reported, citing survey findings from researcher Andrew Elliott. “They associated shades of red with concepts such as strength, wealth and sexual energy.”
Scientists also came to the conclusion that the red clothes of the stronger sex are not so much beautiful as they create an attractive image of an aggressive and dominant male.
Women attribute the ability to easily overcome difficulties to men in red
The women tested emphasized a very important detail - men in red clothes, in their opinion, had a higher status, acquired the ability to earn big money and easily overcome difficulties. Representatives of the stronger sex in red clothes seemed to them to occupy a high social position and were always ready to improve it even further.
Fashionable styles for men
Let's figure out what styles of suits are in fashion today. By itself, red is a very active color, so it is best to choose a classic suit. The severity of the lines of this model will slightly soften the brightness of its color. But in any case, such a suit does not fit into the business dress code. It is not recommended to wear it to business meetings or interviews.
Classic two-piece or three-piece suit
The classic style is worth choosing if you decide to wear a red wedding suit. The use of extravagant styles for a wedding look in this case would be inappropriate.
What could a classic suit look like? This is a model that consists of two, and if a triple is selected, then of three elements.
The trousers have a straight silhouette, the width of the legs is medium, and the waist is high. They should fit perfectly on your figure. The model is usually worn with a belt, but it should not fall off with every movement, even if you are not wearing a belt.
The trousers should not have horizontal folds along the seams. If there are any, then you need to try on the model a size larger.
An important point is the length of classic trousers; they should not be too short, revealing the socks, nor too long, gathering like an accordion at the bottom.
The most elegant and stylish look is the fitted version of the jacket with the shoulder line emphasized with the help of shoulder pads. This model perfectly emphasizes the dignity of the figure. However, a fitted jacket will look great only on slender men with toned figures.
If your figure is far from athletic, then it is better to choose a jacket with a loose silhouette. But it should fit well and not hang like a bag.
The classic jacket model has a turn-down collar with lapels 7-10 cm wide. The clasp can be single- or double-breasted.
The double-breasted model is an option for slim people. This model is strictly contraindicated for men with a protruding belly.
Single-breasted models are universal; they suit any body type. Models with a deep neckline and one button sewn at the waist level visually elongate the silhouette.
A classic men's vest that complements a three-piece suit. This model has a V-neck and button closure. The vest should fit snugly to the torso and not bulge.
The vest should fit snugly around the waist and extend above the neckline of the jacket. In addition, the vest should almost completely cover the shoulders. This detail is most often sewn from the same material as the jacket and trousers. It is better to choose an option in which the vest is entirely made of suit fabric.
Models in which the fronts are made of suit fabric and the back is made of artificial silk are less versatile, since they can only be worn with a jacket. And if the vest is one-piece, then in an informal setting it can be worn as an independent element of the wardrobe.
In some suits, the vest does not match the color of the suit. This may be a model of the same shade, but in a checkered pattern. Or a white model, such a vest is worn exclusively with a white shirt.
Informal style
For a friendly party, you can choose an informal red suit. In such a set, the top part can be represented by a blazer or vest. And the lower part is chinos.
A red suit can be made in a youth style. The trousers in such a suit can be narrow and shortened, and the jacket can be short with rounded hems.
What color can say in clothes, interior
Different people prefer clothes of a certain color, choosing it not only for its beauty, but depending on their psychological state. Red color in clothes is more appropriate on a romantic date than at a business meeting. After all, it means that a person is ready to aggressively defend his position, he wants to be the center of attention.

Those who choose red clothes are determined, persistent, strive for leadership, but need approval. Women who wear such clothes try to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
In the interior, red should be used carefully, mainly in the form of accessories. If there is a lot of it, it will have a depressing effect, tire you, and increase anxiety. Therefore, it is not recommended to wallpaper a room with red wallpaper - it will be difficult to stay in it for a long time. Typically this color is used for curtains, pillows, and decorative elements. Red is especially appropriate in the kitchen, as it stimulates the appetite.
Selecting a shade
Red color comes in a wide variety of shades. Not every man will decide to purchase a bright red model, since this color instantly catches the eye and attracts attention.
A more discreet option is a dark red suit. Pay attention to burgundy, cherry, garnet shades.
Red-brown tones look elegant - Marsala, the color of red beans.
Another attractive option is cool shades of red, such as raspberry or magenta. These are very bright models, they are suitable only for very creative individuals.
Selecting a shade by color type
Girl spring
(fair skin, hair from light yellow to golden brown, eyes with a green tint). Coral shades, lobster color, fiery red, orange red will suit her.
Summer girl
(pale or cool-toned skin, light brown or chestnut with an ashy tint, eyes often gray-blue). Crimson, wine red, and transparent scarlet are good here.
Autumn girl

Winter girl
(porcelain white to olive skin, dark hair, rich gray, brown or dark eyes).

How to choose a red suit
A red suit is a must. Therefore, you need to choose models very carefully. The model must fit perfectly, so be as careful as possible when trying it on.
Start by trying on the jacket , since this part of the suit is difficult to adjust to your figure. Put on the model and fasten it with all the buttons. Pay attention to the shoulder line, it should be perfect. If the model is too small in the shoulders, then the jacket will pull and you will feel awkward in it. A jacket that is too big at the shoulders looks even more unsightly.
Pay attention to the view from the back, there should be no folds there. The length of the jacket can be classic. With your arms down, the floors should reach your thumb knuckles. But if your height is more than 180 cm, then you can choose elongated jacket models.
But shortened options are suitable for short men. A short jacket with rounded hems will visually make your figure taller.
