For most male office workers, suits are indispensable clothing items in daily work. They are not only an important reflection of workplace image but also a silent expression of professional attitude. Therefore, when it comes to preparing suits, the principle “more is better” usually applies. However, there is no fixed standard for the frequency of changing suits; it is largely determined by personal dressing habits. For example, men with better financial conditions and higher requirements for their appearance usually choose to change suits every day. For those who have a limited number of suits, there is no need to worry too much. They can completely get creative with matching items like shirts, vests, and ties. Through different combinations, they can create diverse looks, as long as they ensure they do not appear with the exact same “look” for two consecutive days in the workplace.
Some people may wonder why it is necessary to change suits every day. In fact, there are quite a few reasons behind this, mainly three key ones as follows.
First of all, changing suits every day can effectively protect the suit’s shape. As we all know, suits undergo precision tailoring during the production process, and every line and contour is carefully designed to present a straight and appropriate wearing effect. However, during daily wear, whether sitting at work or getting up to move around, the shoulders, elbows, and knees of the suit will bear continuous pressure. If worn in the same state for a long time, these parts are prone to deformation, such as shoulder sagging, elbow wrinkles, and knee bulges, which seriously affect the overall appearance of the suit. By changing suits every day, the worn suit can have sufficient time to “rest,” allowing the fabric’s inherent elasticity to recover. The minor wrinkles and deformations caused by wearing will gradually smooth out, thus keeping the suit in a straight and stylish state at all times.
Secondly, rotating suits for daily wear can significantly prolong the suit’s lifespan. As mentioned earlier, if the same suit is worn continuously for a long time, the fabric will remain in a stretched state, and the seams will also bear continuous tension. This will accelerate fabric wear, such as pilling on the fabric surface and fiber breakage, and the seams may also loosen or break due to excessive stress. When we have multiple suits and wear them in rotation, the wearing pressure and wear level endured by each suit will be greatly reduced, and the wear will be evenly distributed among the multiple suits. In this way, the “workload” of each suit is reduced, which can naturally effectively extend its lifespan and allow us to get a longer return on our suit investment.
Finally, changing suits every day is a necessary measure to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. During a day’s work and activities, the human body secretes sweat and skin oils, and at the same time, dust in the air adheres to the surface of the suit. If these sweat, oil, and dust remain on the suit for a long time, they will not only produce unpleasant odors but also provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Frequently wearing a suit with odors and bacteria will not only affect personal image but may also have a certain impact on skin health. By changing suits every day, we can timely replace the suit that has absorbed dirt, allowing it to be cleaned and aired. This ensures that the suit we wear every day is clean and hygienic, and at the same time, it can reduce the number of times the suit needs to be cleaned. It should be noted that frequent washing can also cause damage to the suit fabric, such as fabric shrinkage and color fading. Therefore, reducing the number of washes is also a way to protect the suit.
To sum up, for male office workers who need to wear suits daily, the rule “wear one suit and rest it for two days” is definitely a golden rule worth remembering. In other words, preparing at least 2-3 suits for rotation is the best choice. Doing so not only ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the suits and gives the suit fabric enough time to recover its shape but also, through this good habit of wearing and maintaining suits, allows each suit to always maintain the best wearing condition, accompany us for a longer time, and continuously showcase our professional competence and fashion taste in the workplace.
