Q&A

Q: 2-piece or 3-piece?
A: 3-piece for sure! 2-piece is more for business purposes.

Q: SB or DB?
A: A hard question... I don't actually own a DB suit though, but a 3-piece DB suit will be attractive to me. For now I stick to 3-piece SB suits.

Q: Suits or separate jacket and pants?
A: Suits. I have tried the other choice but I'm not really into that.

Q: Skirt suits or pant suits?
A: Skirt suits for sure.  Unfortunately I wouldn't get a chance to wear that in this life.

Q: Favorite color for suit/uniform?
A: I prefer dark colors to light ones. I think dark brownish might be my choice. I just love to see those colors on winter suits especially tweed suits. Plus, I have a special favor on the black color.

Q: White shirts or color shirts?
A: White shirts. I wear color shirts only for a few times.

Q: Detachable collars or regular collars?
A: Regular ones. It's a hard choice for me. I guess I might prefer the other choice if I get one of it that fits well.

Q: Neckties or bowties?
A: Neckties. Actually I haven't tried wearing a bowtie, but I think I might prefer a long neckwear that stretches down, covering the shirt buttons and being tucked into the vest. Just don't think it's appropriate to expose any shirt buttons.

Q: Favorite tie knot?
A: The double knot. Very solid and snug.

Q: Favorite color for ties?
A: Versatile colors are all good colors. If I'm only allow to pick one then burgundy is it.

Q: Favorite accessary?
A: Collar pins. Can't dress up without one.

Q: Pin collars or tab collars?
A: Pin collars, although I love tab collars as well, as both of them firmly hold the tie knot. I feel divine when I put on a collar pin by pinching it through the holes on the collar.

Q: Favorite dress shoes?
A: I like dressy leather boots a lot.

Q: Summer or winter?
A: Mostly winter. I enjoy dressing myself up in a cold and gray winter morning at 7pm, wearing the full outfit with a scarf and gloves, and walk into the mystery morning fog. It's also quite fun to fully dress up in summer and get sweaty too.

Q: Favorite job that requires formal wears?
A: Hard to say. I wish I could be either a ground staff at the airport, or a luxury butler, or a funeral director. I might fit in the funeral director job quite well as I love the suppressed and solemn working environment. Unfortunately my current job doesn't impose a formal dress code.

Q: Favorite era in the history?
A: Early 20th century. I would love to wear a strict suit and a stiff collar (and a tie of course) all day every day. Late 1940s would be great too.
