Okay, maybe we're exaggerating a bit in the title of this article, you're not going to run a marathon or mow the lawn in a suit. But we'd like to show that even though a suit is just a "formal" outfit for many men these days, it doesn't have to be that way at all.
Unless we are talking about occasions where wearing a suit is required by etiquette (such as a wedding, prom, or prom), or about job positions that require a suit, smart clothing is not very popular, especially among the younger generation.
Meanwhile, a man in a well-fitting suit:
- feels more confident, more important, more successful,
- looks more serious,
- saves time and money – a quality suit will last for years with proper care. If you wear it every day, you don't need to decide what to wear in the morning.
That's why putting on a nice suit in the summer or for a party, dinner or wedding is an event and a privilege for me. I enjoy the whole process, from ironing a shirt, to going to the hairdresser, to cleaning and polishing shoes...

Of course, there is no suit like a suit. Usually, the lower quality suits (in terms of fabric composition) scream it at first glance. And also, not everyone knows how to wear a suit properly. For me, the worst combination is all the buttons on the jacket and old, worn-out sneakers.

Dressing elegantly is not just a privilege of a job or a special occasion. Since I was a little girl, I have admired elegant fashion, whether in movies or just on the street. It makes me curious whether people go to work, to an event or just love to dress elegantly. Especially when a person knows what makes them feel good. It's not even about what they're wearing, what color a man's suit is or a woman's dress. Or whether it's "correctly" coordinated. I feel exactly the way I look.

Fashion has been in my blood since I was a child. My grandfather wore "galots with buds" to church every Sunday. It was always instilled in me, and so I feel the same way about it. I also dress elegantly every Sunday (but not only then), and it doesn't matter where I go.
I like visiting vintage thrift stores, where I find pieces that are very hard to find these days. I feel like elegance is disappearing from the streets a bit, but I feel very comfortable and masculine in clothes like this.

I once read a quote about fashion: “Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life”. The right outfit definitely gives me better energy, self-confidence, it is my expression of what I want to radiate. When Sean Connery was offered to play in the first Bond film, the director supposedly told him to sleep in the suit so he could get used to it. I wouldn’t do this and I don’t recommend it, but the point was for him to learn to feel natural in suits. And that’s exactly how I feel in them. Naturally.
