THE TRADITIONAL BOND OR MODERN BOND?

Suit Fullstop
Who doesn’t know & love Bond?
One of our favourite characteristics of this British Secret Service agent is his dressing sense. Bond has a desirable collection of perfectly tailored suits and accessories. He’s got marvellous style and it’d be hard to find a situation where the words don’t fit.
With the recent release of the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, we’ve seen a lot of changes to the Bond character and some changes to his classic style. And while we won’t go into the “who’s the best Bond” argument, we’ll give you a more information about the change in Bond dressing on the progression of Bond Series. For this, we have chosen two of our favourite Bonds – the new Daniel Craig and the unique Sean Connery – and broke down our much-loved look of each. It’s Bond vs. Bond and we claim no punches in calling this marquee match-up.

Voted the favourite Bond of all time by Style Fullstop  readers, Sean Connery is often considered as the iconic Bond when it comes to Bond style. One of his most popular looks is seen above. In this “Goldfinger suit”, the gray checked three-piece has become one of the most reputed suits of the Bond franchise. The fit is spacious than the slim, modern cut of Daniel Craig’s Bond, but surely not at any expense of class. As you can see, the original Bond kept it modest in terms of  colours, wearing his suit with a pure white shirt solid black silk weaved tie and plane white pocket square. Here’s how you can reproduce this elegant look.

  3. Solid Black Silk Knit Tie
  4. Solid White Pocket Square
  5. Solid Black Oxfords
  6. Grappling Gun
  7. Homing Device

His ego may be hurt and he may be a step or two slower than previous Bonds, but his style is clearly undiminished. Daniel Craig wore a perfectly tailored charcoal blue suit in Skyfall, as seen above. This slim suit is perfectly tailored to compliment his athletic physique. Craig wears this suit with a solid light blue shirt and finishes it off with a slim, solid navy tie and a simple straight-folded, plane light blue pocket square. The minimalism in the suit represents the classic endurance that Bond is known for, while the sharp, clean and slimmer particulars of the look signify a new, re-energized Bond.

  8. Aston Martin DB5 (Obviously)
So whether you’re a traditional Bond Fan or Modern Bond Fan, you can’t go wrong if you take some basic style tips from 007 himself. The best part about all Bond wears is that they are simple and enduring, consisting of simple colours and simple accessories. Your wardrobe probably already contains most of what you need to dress like 007. What really makes Bond look so good and admirable is that his clothes fit properly and are worn with the supreme self-confidence. Bond always wears his clothes – clothes never wear him. It’s time for you to follow the same!
So, Which suit do you want to select? The “Daniel Craig” Charcoal Blue or the “Sean Connery” Cool Gray? Share in the comments below! 
Meanwhile let us tell you that if you are looking for a modern bond style, and want to see yourself in a perfectly fit suit, you are at the right place. We at www.suitfullstop.com, designers of bespoke suits, tailor suits made of fabric chosen by you to match your physique and personality at the same time.

THE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD GO BESPOKE

In the world of bespoke tailoring, nothing is more significant than the “appropriate fitting”. This is the most needed, time-honoured process of fitting the suit on the client’s body as it transforms from a mere piece of cloth into a perfectly tailored bespoke suit. It takes 3-7 basted fittings to accomplish this, and the amount of fittings is totally in regard to the ease or difficulty of the client’s particular build and body type. No matter what the client’s body build is, the protocol of bespoke, with its numerous basted fittings, is quite simple and must be followed to achieve the desired result -a perfectly tailored suit.
conn - Copy
First off all, the client’s measurements are taken and noted. Then the outline of the jacket, vest and pant dimensions are drawn onto a very large sheet of blank paper. Once the components of the suit are diagrammed on the pattern paper and cut individually, the chosen fabric is then laid out onto the cutting table and the paper pattern components are placed above the fabric and hand-cut individually and bundled.
The next move is to collect the freshly cut fabric and assemble the pieces into a basted fitting, or a “try-on”. Basting threads are the white threads you see in the image. These white basting threads hold the clothing organised during dressmaking which allows the tailor to adjust the suit (as many as 7 times) on the client’s person, thus allowing them to resolve crucial problems like the client’s shoulder slope, neck size, stomach girth, posture etc.so a perfect fit can be constructed.
The tailor and the client has to be very patient during this process, but the outcome is well worth the time and money. It’s also quite interesting to see a suit made from scratch, by a craftsperson’s hands, come alive before your naked eyes. This is why every man serious about his wardrobe should go for a bespoke suit. You will NEVER EVER get this outcome from an off-the-rack suit or a made-to-measure one. Once a man goes bespoke, he never go back.

Suit Fullstop
Thanksgiving is not just another day off. It is not even another holiday. It is an experience. Whether it is carving your first turkey at the head of the table, juking your overly competitive cousin Charlie in a friendly family football game, or finding yourself on Central Park West under a massive inflatable Snoopy, Thanksgiving is a chock full of memories that will last a lifetime. Don’t let those memories be etched in people’s mind with you looking like a dumb.
Get your wardrobe ready with these tips for what to wear on the Thanksgiving this year. Whether you’re munching with friends, on a journey to see family or hosting your own dinner, these tips help you tease out your personal style with an eye for relaxation and customization.
THE EAT & RUN.

When you start receiving people for Thanksgiving, it has to be official: you’re an adult. Dress like a matured man. You may be a bit overdressed compared to your visitants, but that is absolutely fine. You’re hosting the night, it’s your table, set the rules and standards.
suitfullstop
THE MEET & GREET
Every holiday season, only few brave men decide to meet families. Hold your nerves and make the first impression with a look that is kind, approachable and says “I’ve got it together.” Of course, you will need to get well-dressed if the above mentioned family doesn’t happen to live a pebble throw away. We’ve got you protected there too…see below the clothing.

UNFORGETTABLES
So you are in this for the long haul; traveling over the holidays can make the celebration a bit hectic. You may not be able to control the bad weather at O’Hare International Airport (which, for some reason, delays every flight within a 3,000 mile circle), but you definitely have a control a how you pack. Get charged for an extended holiday weekend without over packing and over-thinking.

16 WAYS TO DRESS LIKE A GROWN-UP MAN

1.Now that your mother isn’t selecting your outfits anymore, start following the Style Pyramid.

If a piece of clothing doesn’t follow to the Style Pyramid — fit, fabric, and style — don’t go for it.
Step 1: Ensure your suit fits.
st
Via denisesalceda.com
Most men happen to purchase suits that are two sizes too large. Fix that by learning your measurements. Opt to buy a bespoke suit. This will solve your problem
Step 2: Check the material.
st1
Via fashionbeans.com
Emphasise on quality than quantity, so buy garments that are 100% fabrics (cotton, wool, etc.). They look nicer and are sturdier.
Step 3: Is it classy?
st2
Via coolmaterial.com
Your objective is to fill your wardrobe with comfortable, nice-looking clothes. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.
2. High school is over; get a real pair of shoes.

Potential mates are neither impressed nor turned on by men in beach sandals, so suit up.
3. If you have no plans to run, don’t wear canvas shoes.

Spend on quality. Every gentleman should choose a black lace-up shoe (they match everything) and a few slim, pointed ones.
4. Throw out your white socks, and cover up.
st6
Via dimensiondesign.wordpress.com
Buy some bright wool, cotton, and cashmere socks — because each type has its own purpose — and ensure that they cover your shins.
5. Torn and extraordinarily faded jeans are deal breakers.

And dump your loose-fitting or frayed jeans away, while you’re at it. When it comes to jeans, make it very simple.
6. Identify how and when to wear shorts.

How: Find a balance between uncovering your knees and covering your thighs.
When: Depends on the temperature, location, and the event.
7. Stop looking for “small, medium, and large” dress shirts.

Buy slim-fit shirts, treat yourself to an Oxford shirt, and tuck it in.
8. Identify how to roll your sleeves.

HOW TO PACK SUITS, SHIRTS & PANTS WHEN IT COMES TO TRAVEL

As a professional who wears suits, dress shirts and ties, you give a priority to look polished when you step out of your house. Whether you’re driving to see a client or flying to a conference, packing a suit and a few shirts is always a big challenge. ‘Keep it simple’ approach in terms of packing really pays off when it comes to travel. There are some best ways to transport your luggage light, versatile, and stylish for business travel. It really is an art to pack the suit or suits in the least amount of space and without a wrinkled mess. Use the packing tips from Suit Fullstop to ensure you arrive at your destination looking sharp and ready for business.

Suitfullstop
1. Use a well sized suitcase.
A common first mistake when packing luggage is to try to stuff your clothes into a small duffel or carry-on bag. Despite your successive best packing efforts, if the suitcase is too small, the clothes will wrinkle for sure. To make packing and moving your suitcase through the airport easy, choose a large Pullman suitcase. This well-made case will help protect your clothes.
2. Roll your clothes to reduce wrinkles.
Cotton garments like polo shirts and khaki pants should be rolled well to fight back wrinkling. As an added bonus, this will help make the most of space in the suitcase. To roll your clothes, fold them in half and gently roll from the smallest part of the attire to the largest. For a shirt, you can start at the folded neck and then roll down to the bottom edge. For pants, start at the cuff and then roll up to the waist.
3. Put the heaviest garments on the bottom.
Place your jeans, khaki pants and sweaters at the bottom. More mild items like polo shirts, t-shirts and ties should go at the top so they don’t get crushed by heavier clothes. It’s essential to note the actual bottom of your suitcase. For example, if your suitcase stands up and rolls, put the heaviest clothes close to the wheels.
4. Pack your suit and dress shirts in a garment bag.
This is actually the best way to transport your suit and dress shirts. Garment bags allow your clothes hang as they do in your wardrobe. They also loosely fold in half and snap together which makes them easier to transfer without putting a wrinkle in your clothes. When you reach your hotel, hang your outfit; you won’t have to worry about finding a wrinkled clutter.
5. Build a wardrobe of wrinkle-free business clothing.
Help reduce the risk of wrinkles by buying Traveler Wrinkle-Free shirts and suits.

SIX BEGINNER STYLE MISTAKES THAT CAN MAKE YOU LOOK UNTIDY

Being a beginner in the world of style and fashion can be brutal to say the minimum. When you pitch yourself, you aren’t sure what needs to be improved, where to begin altering your style, or even what you are doing incorrect. As a result, you begin searching online style blogs, in order to find solutions to your queries.
As an end result, you may trail the wrong information every once in a while. All you have to do in the beginning is, accept that you are a rookie, so only you are permitted to make blunders.
beginner suit
Common Blunders made by Beginners in Style 
1) Supposing You Know Something- When you’re open to improvise your style, don’t let your thoughts fool you. You might know how to put on a tweed jacket, but that does not mean you know how to wear one. When you think you know the basics, knowing what they are is much more significant.
2) Dressing Up vs. Dressing Well- Simply because you put on a men’s suit doesn’t mean you dress properly. Understand that there is a big difference between playing dress up and dressing to influence. One denotes you still have the look and approach of a ten year old.
3) Going With Trends- One of the biggest blunders men make when they begin modifying their style is seeking the help of fashion world. In fact, the fashion world isn’t going to explain you how to dress well. They are hardly bothered about which suit fits your body correctly; they want you to wear what they’ve considered to be “hot” this period. Disregard the trends. Instead, focus on eternal pieces that work well with your body type and personality.
4) Settling- Fit is called named so for a reason. It doesn’t mean ‘close enough’ or ‘well enough. Men’s suit that fits will look like they have been tailored with your body in mind. They will project the best features of your body, while drawing the eye away from areas that aren’t as pleasing. Don’t settle for decent enough; the right fit allows suits, shirts, and even that men’s tweed jacket to look extraordinary.
5) Researching vs. Doing- Many men think that if they explore style long enough, they will finally understand it and be able to set a wardrobe that will help them stand separately from the mass. While this is true to a large extend, it is important to understand that this doesn’t mean you can’t start changing your style while you’re learning. Get enough knowledge to avoid looking like a fool, but don’t pull yourself back simply because you’re afraid of change or because you don’t think you’ve learned enough. You’ll not ever know unless you try.
6) Confusing Effortless With No Effort- Understanding style isn’t difficult. In fact, one of the main mantras of style is to keep it simple and to avoid over-thinking about it. Unfortunately, some men complicate this by not thinking at all.

Want a fantastic look, but don’t want to make the most common learner’s mistakes? Avoid the above mistakes and embrace your new style. At http://www.suitfullstop.com ,  we tailor the best bespoke suits with the fabric selected by you.

POCKET SQUARE

It is a matter of fact that many men would love to wear pocket squares, but they are uncertain about how to do it.
Quick Tips
1. Never have a pocket square that matches the exact color of shirt or tie – pick out a color that is very close (but not exact) to the shirt and tie color.
2. If the tie/shirt is patterned, it is best to wear a patterned pocket square, but ensure that the pattern is not exactly the same size – For example, if the shirt id of big check, smaller check should be the pocket square.
3. If you are a guy with larger waist, it is optimum to have a pocket square. Pocket square will divert people’s attention to the chest rather than the waist.
Here’s a guide on how to fold pocket squares.
The Decent, The Bad, The Horrible
These are examples of what you want to aim for:
1
Having a white pocket square is simple, but it works when paired with a pinstripe tie. The white pocket square highlights the white stripe in the tie.
2
This is an amazing pocket square as it has some colour which is not too bold. The pocket square is white in colour with a charcoal border. It is a little lighter compared to the black checks in the shirt and a bit darker than the tie.
Stay away from the following looks:
3
Do not match the tie and pocket square. It looks bad.
4
You might think that it will look cool. Well, it has to be admitted that this look is the worst one.
New to pocket squares?

MEN’S WRISTWATCH BUYING GUIDELINES

suitfullstop
A wristwatch can speak much about the man wearing it. There are various options to choose from – anything from simple and casual to classy and elegant. Since internet has broadened the new consumer limits, it seems like the opportunities are endless. But how do you know if you’re buying a honourably decent timepiece? Or if the wristwatch is apt for you?
Below are a few guidelines to purchase a good watch that suits your personality and the kind of occasion.
When buying online or from a traditional brick and mortar store, it is important to ensure that you are doing business with a reputed enterprise. If so, you will have the option to return any watch which would not have met your expectations. It is also important to make sure that you’re paying for a product what was advertised.

What To Look For
There are two main types of crystals to know: mineral glass and synthetic sapphire crystals. Mineral glass doesn’t cost much but tends not to shatter as easily. Synthetic sapphire crystals are much more scratch resistant.
In addition to the crystal, it is important to look at the metal used in manufacturing the timepiece. Better completed watches have metal links made of solid, whereas timepieces of less quality have hollow metal links. If you’re not sure about which type of material a particular watch has, turn it on the side so that you can see the link at a side view to see whether it is hollow or not. It is also essential to test the buckle or clasp to ensure that it was made with good, firm solid.

Bands
Bands can be made with a range of materials like leather or metal, and this should be taken into account during purchase. Will the timepiece be used in the daylight or at night while out on the town? Some bands will work for both, depending on the model.

Weight
Many people prefer heavyweight wristwatches, but this is just a personal choice. Most quality watches use costly metals, which means they are typically lighter.

Style Guide :
Get the best look by wearing a bespoke suit tailored from www.suitfullstop.com along with the wristwatch that we have in our kitty.

Suits & Sneakers

Suit Fullstop
When a question arises on what to wear for a big event or just a night out on the town with friends, deciding your footwear is always a tough task. Choosing the right pair of shoes is not only essential but can help you look outstanding from the rest of the crowd. Now what if you like to wear a pair of sneakers or trainers while wearing a suit? This is a question people often ask themselves till they didn’t know if it was even acceptable to wear both at the same time. In order to get that classy look even after wearing a pair of awe-inspiring sneakers, follow these tips below:
Style Tips
  1. The first step when choosing the pair of sneakers is to remember that your sneakers should match and be an extension of your suit. You should never forget that your suit should still be the main focus. You should always go with a shoe that goes with the stitching style of the suit.
  2. Keep the colour of your sneakers very basic. This can be done by wearing colours like: white, dark grey, or black. By selecting such basic colours, you can avoid choosing sneakers that clash with the suit of your choice.
  3. Another rule of thumb while choosing the right pair of sneakers is that in case you are confused on what colour sneakers to wear, simply go with a pair of clean white sneakers. Wearing a pair of white sneakers will always give you a neat look which still works with your formal outfit. Also ensure that the laces are also white in colour so as to keep that cohesive and uniform look.
  4. Choose a suit that displays your sneakers as well and highlights there features, after all the purpose of wearing a sneakers with suit definitely is to get some attention that way too. If the suit pant legs are too long then it defeats the purpose of even wearing the sneakers.
Suit Fullstop
Over the past couple of years, the fashion world has seen a significant increase in the amount of people wearing sneakers with suits. One thing is for sure that this trend will continue to prevail as people are trying to see the advantages of pairing sneakers with suits for both the style and comfort that they afford. Following are some of the best sneakers on the market that go great with suits:

THE M.I.B STYLE

The term LBS (Little Black Suit) was introduced when Will Smith wore it in his movie Men In Black(MIB). Will Smith looked every inch the sophisticated Police Officer and here are five simple tips to help you reproduce the look:
suitfullstop
Keep It Simple and Stylish
In order to match Will Smiths style, you need to get it tailored professionally. There are all shapes and sizes out ready but when it comes to a suit, one does not fit all. You need to take proper measurement and tailor it for the perfect look. The best black suits are classic, sharp, simple yet stylish. The best part is that black tends to look noble on everybody, irrespective to skin color or body shape.
The Crispy White Shirt
No black suit is complete, without a stiff white shirt. The white when gelled with black gives a sharp contrast and a clean overall look and feel. It can be worn casually at an awards night or high end business meeting or a funeral or wedding.
Accessorize
The black suit and white shirt combo is a simple look but is a perfect base with the accessories. In the M.I.B, Will Smith wore a striking Hamilton Ventura watch along with polished black shoes to add up the look. Other accessories you can think off are simple jewellery (such as a gold ring) or cufflinks.
Dark skinny tie
Will Smith got the right look when he opted for the black skinny tie over the white shirt. Whether you want a skinny tie or regular tie is a personal choice but be sure to experiment with what looks best against your body shape.
Functionality
First priority for the Men in Black agents was functionality. Apart from looking good, in reality you need to be able to move around in your suit with ease. That is also important along with the look. To do this you need to opt for a suit that lets you move freely and feel relaxed.
These five simple tips explains the basics of a classic black suit and how the real man can wear it just like Will Smith did in most of his blockbuster movies.

ALL A SUIT NEEDS IS “CARE”

www.suitfullstop.com
You spend lot of money on asuit that you can’t see it falling apart before your own eyes. Careful care can help you prevent this misery, but only few people are really aware of just what is involved maintenance of a suit.
There are three key areas that you should think through when it comes to care for a suit. First, you should know the instructions for care. Secondly you need to ensure your suit is professionally cleaned and pressed, and, finally, you must store and wear your suit well.
You must read the label attached to your suit which clearly shows how to maintain your suit.
Even when you wear your suits, there are things you can constantly do to protect them from wearing-out. Hang them in your wardrobe as soon as you’re done wearing them. Don’t be afraid to lay a napkin across your lap to protect your suit safe from stains at meals. Avoid wetness and undue stress on the garment, particularly at the pockets and buttons. These basic clothing rules can extend the lifespan of your suit by years.
• To lengthen a suits life, dry clean only few times a year or as needed. Do not over do.
• Do not carry too much load in your pockets, which could strain the joints.
• Unbutton your jacket before you make a plan to sit down.
• Use wooden hanger to hang your suit and store it in a bag to protect it.
• Packing your suit in between lots of other clothes will lead to too many wrinkles or chances to stamp effects of color from other dull color materials.
• To keep your suit look crisp, have it pressed in between cleanings.
Whether it is your first suit or 100th suit, you can benefit from the above mentioned men’s suit care tips.. The small rules that make up suit care are simple, worth, and can add ages to your suit.

  • Large Ears- Hairstyles that lie close to the head, like a buzz cut, make the ears stick out, and if they are already big, this can be a big issue. Long hair that cover the ears help to hide them and make them less visible. If your ears are larger than normal, try growing your hair out for a few weeks, ‘ large ear ‘ issue will be resolved.
  • Narrow or Wide Face- Does your face look too skinny or too gigantic? J You might wonder hearing that the look of your face can easily be controlled using the sideburns. Most men look their best when sideburns are cut parallel to middle of their ears. However, for narrow faces, shorter sideburns are best, and larger faces can appear smaller with longer sideburns.
  • Large Nose- Big noses are often quite attractive, but that doesn’t mean men with big noses do not feel uncomfortable. To overcome this facial feature, all you need to do is part your hair differently. Part the hair towards the side; this will help draw attention away from the middle of the face, especially when used with a fuller haircut.
IMPORTANT TIP : Draw attention away from a big nose, or any other unpleasant facial feature by utilising your suits. A bright pocket kerchief in the top pocket of a tweed jacket or men’s suits jacket can attract the eye for sure.
  • Small Chin- Do you curse yourself for not having a larger or more distinctive chin? When you don’t want to grow a full beard, especially if you are going to wear men’s suits or moving into the office, a moderate amount of facial hair that is trimmed in style can uplift the look of your face and accentuate a smaller chin.
Hate some of your facial features? There are steps you can take to compliment with the right hairstyles, accessories, and exercise. Take benefit of these steps today and always look your best.

HANG OR FOLD?

Don’t have to be ashamed if you are unconfident about which garments to fold and which garments to hang. You would be astonished how many men mistreat the basics. Here’s a quick run through of what you should  know and what kind of clothes belong to a rack and what in a drawer.
HANG IT:
It is probably a good  thought to invest in some best-quality hangers for your suits. Hangers made using  solid wood with a strong bar across the middle will be a smart move. Ensure that you don’t hang your suit pants on any hanger with clips.

Shirts
There is no hard and fast rule as to whether hanging or folding your shirts is the best choice. There are men who prefer to hang, and others prefer to fold. It’s all about  preference and the space availability.

Ties
A creased, untidy tie can completely ruin an otherwise slick outfit. Ties should most certainly be hung on a tie rack to keep them firm, crisp and wrinkle free.

Pants
A good rule of thumb for your pants is to hang them over your hanger with about a third of the way up the leg. This will preserve the crease looking defined and avoid needless wrinkles.

FOLD IT:
T Shirts and Polo’s
Neatly folded T Shirts and Polo’s will retain their style and shape for longer. They can live happily in a drawer instead of a hanger. J

Jumpers and Sweaters
It is important to fold your jumpers and sweaters mildly, especially the ones made with wool. Hanging such items will lead to loss of shape. It is always better to place them in a drawer or on a shelf.
