Your Complete Guide to Men’s Formalwear | BeChic Canada

Whether you're preparing for a wedding, graduation, prom, or an important business event, one question often arises: “What is a formal men’s suit?” At BeChic Canada, we specialize in premium men’s suits designed to help you look your best at life’s most important moments.

In this guide, we break down what defines a formal suit, what to look for when buying one, and how to style it like a pro—whether you're going for timeless elegance or a fashion-forward look.

🧥 What Defines a Formal Men’s Suit?

A formal men’s suit is a matching set of clothing typically consisting of a jacket (blazer) and trousers, made from the same fabric. It is meant to be worn with a dress shirt, formal shoes, and usually a tie or bow tie. Unlike casual wear, a formal suit follows strict standards of style, fit, and occasion-appropriateness.

🔑 Key Elements of a Formal Suit:

• Jacket & Pants Matching in Fabric and Colour

• High-Quality Material (wool, linen, tweed, or stretch blends)

• Structured Shoulders & Defined Silhouette

• Notch, Peak, or Shawl Lapels

• Dress Shirt, Tie, and Accessories

✨ Types of Formal Suit Fits

The fit of a suit can dramatically change how it looks and feels. At BeChic Canada, we offer suits in three signature fits to suit all body types and style preferences:

1. Slim Fit

Tailored closely to the body for a clean, modern silhouette. Best for fashion-forward events like proms or stylish weddings.

2. Modern Fit

A perfect middle ground—offers shape without being tight. Ideal for work functions, formal dinners, and graduations.

3. Classic Fit

More relaxed and traditional. Perfect for those who value timeless appeal and maximum comfort.

🗓️ When Should You Wear a Formal Suit?

A formal men’s suit isn’t just for one type of event—it’s a versatile wardrobe staple. Here are key occasions where wearing a formal suit is appropriate:

✔ Weddings

Whether you're the groom, best man, or a guest, a tailored suit is a must. BeChic offers a wide range of wedding suits, including three-piece sets and tuxedos.

✔ Business & Corporate Events

Formal suits are essential for high-stakes meetings, conferences, or job interviews. A navy or charcoal suit is always a safe and professional choice.

✔ Prom & Graduation

Make a lasting impression with a bold velvet blazer or a classic black slim-fit tuxedo. Accessories like pocket squares and bow ties add a unique flair.

✔ Black Tie Events

For ultra-formal affairs, tuxedos and sharp tailoring are non-negotiable. Look for satin lapels, polished shoes, and formal accessories.

🧵 What Materials Are Best for Formal Suits?

At BeChic Canada, we prioritize fabric quality for both comfort and style. Here are top fabric options to consider:

🐑 Wool

Naturally breathable, durable, and elegant—wool is the gold standard for formal suits.

🌿 Linen

A lightweight option, ideal for summer weddings and daytime events.

🧶 Tweed

Perfect for fall and winter. Tweed suits offer a textured, vintage-inspired look.

🧘 Stretch Blends

Combines traditional fabric with elastane for flexibility and ease of movement—especially useful for long events or active evenings like prom.

👔 Formal Suit Accessories That Complete the Look

The difference between a decent outfit and a show-stopping look often comes down to accessories. At BeChic, we offer everything you need to complete your suit:

✔ Ties & Bow Ties

Add personality or sophistication to your suit. Try a solid black tie for classic vibes or a floral bow tie for prom.

✔ Pocket Squares

Simple but powerful. A matching or contrasting pocket square can elevate your outfit instantly.

✔ Cufflinks & Tie Clips

Great for business or black-tie looks. Small accessories, big impact.

✔ Dress Shoes

Opt for black or brown leather shoes—either oxfords or loafers, depending on the vibe.

📏 How Should a Formal Suit Fit?

The most important rule in menswear: fit is king. A great suit isn’t about brand or price—it’s about tailoring. Here's a checklist to ensure your suit fits properly:

• Shoulders: Seam should align with your natural shoulder

• Sleeves: Show about 1/2 inch of shirt cuff

• Jacket Length: Should cover your rear

• Pants: Break slightly at the shoe, not bunch up
