"Hello, this is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting in Coral Gables, Florida. In this clip, I'm going to talk about men's suit guide. I'm going to make it very simple.

So whenever you buy a suit and you put it on, you need to make sure that it matches the little angulars of the face -- of the man's face. Another thing that you need to make sure is that the shoulders are exactly outside of the actual shoulders that he has, so that way you'll know that the suit is not too big or too small. When you turn around, you see that he has the stitches in the back, which is very nice. And if you want to make it a little more kind of, like, gala kind of suit, it needs to be open in the back. But this one, it's a little more classic that you can wear for, like, work or something like that. If it's a going out type of suit, it needs to be open in the back. The pants, you can either use them with cuffs at the bottom or without them, depending on the size of the guy. For him, he has an average size, so he should just stay away from the cuffs on the bottom of the pants. And then, lastly, this is an...the other style that has the two buttons in front, and it's also closed in the back but it's a little open on the sides for, like, going out.
