Tips For Keeping A Suit From Looking Stuffed

By Victor Santerino

When a man buys a suit he usually does not have to concern himself with the number of pockets that will be available. This is because the jacket and trousers combine to have anywhere from 7 to 12 pockets stitched into them.

However, for the most part these pockets should be used sparingly, if at all. This is because over stuffing suit pockets can and will lead to the suit looking like it is stuffed or even poorly made.

This article was written to explain to men what should and can be kept in suit pockets. After reading this article you will have some new ideas you can use to make your pockets look less stuffed.

The best way to keep pockets from looking full is to not use them. This can be achieved in cold climates by using your coat pockets exclusively. I do not recommend this tactic for anybody that might be at risk of having their jackets looted.

The men that cannot store items in coats for fear of theft or warm weather can follow a few simple steps to look less absurd. These men can put their gear in their jacket and trouser pockets carefully so that they do not get bulky.

Outer jacket pockets should never be used to put gear into. However, the inside pockets can be used if the item in question will not look like a lump showing through the jacket.

Pants can hide items in back pockets if the jacket is to cover the back pockets and you are comfortable with the way items feel when sitting on them. Remember that overstuffed back pockets will still bulge through a jacket at times.

Front trouser pockets can be used sparingly when necessary. Thin items like cellular phones, wallets, and money clips are acceptable items to place in front pant pockets. - 16650
