A tailored suit is to women what lingerie is to men

Narrated by Lady EllaBe

“A well-tailored suit is to women what lingerie is to men” — this quote that popped up on my Instagram feed got me thinking all week. As I went about my daily routine, I found myself observing men in their suits. While attraction to one’s attire is certainly a matter of personal preference — some may prefer a white shirt and torn jeans. Let me tell you, my eyes were drawn to the array of deliciousness on display. I felt like I was at the front row of Paris fashion week as the gentlemen navigated the city streets, strutting their suits. It was as if the very fabric of these suits held a magnetic pull, drawing my gaze to meticulously inspect each subtle nuance of cut, colour, and accessories. Who knew that a simple business attire could make for such an enjoyable day out in the city! Reflecting on my observations, I appreciated the kaleidoscope of unique styles each individual brought to the streets

I’ve come to the realisation that certain choices can either make or utterly break a man’s suit game. It’s truly astounding how something as simple as an ill-fitted trousers that hang awkwardly at ankle length can quickly result into a complete fashion faux pas. Pairing these atrocities with white socks and cringeworthy footwear? It makes my eyes involuntarily roll back into the depths of my skull. What on earth possesses someone to commit such crimes against style. However, nothing quite compares to the cringe-inducing shiny suits that seem more appropriate for a Studio 54 revival than a professional setting. This sheen requires my sunglasses as the glare stung my eyes. I was thinking that this is the consequence of overenthusiastic ironing or pressing resulting in a reflective surface that practically rivals the cleanest of mirrors. the only thought that crossed my mind was, “Hold up, I desperately need to borrow your jacket so I can use it as a makeshift mirror to reapply my red lipstick!” Truly, the sole practical application of such a glary garment lies in its ability to serve as a portable cosmetic companion. This is where I stop and think of the more yummy things!

Just like beautiful lingerie that makes women feel confident, the sight of a well-fitted suit exudes a man’s confidence. A beautiful suit is obvious, flattering, and accentuates the body shape in all the right places. It also gives the perception of self-care — I care about how I look, and perhaps I will take care of you properly in all the right ways and places! Yes in all the right place! Yet it also comes down to the style. I can’t help but notice the subtle details, like the perfect tailoring of a suit’s lapel. As someone stands before me, I find myself wanting to reach out, placing my hands upon the soft, fine fabric, and slowly running them up and down the contours of your chest touching the tip of the lapel. Oh gosh! this results in my imagination leading me to the tip in between your legs. It’s a rather flirtatious gesture, but for me, it’s the only way. There’s just something so amazingly sexy about a well-fitted suit that brings out the playful side in me.

It is not just the suit but it is the coordination of accessories that takes this ensemble to the next level it’s like going from AHHHH to WOW! Accessories have the power to inject personality, flair, and a distinct sense of style into the outfit. The click-clack of well-crafted leather shoes as you confidently stride catches my attention. I close my eyes and wander, is that the pace you will move with me when you are undressed? you are walking fast and hard! That intoxicating scent of cologne with a captivating blend of earthy, woody notes — ignites a desire to lose myself. The mere sensory experience of your presence invites me to devour you whole! That sleek leather belt, begging to be slowly unbuckled, the notches gently loosened to reveal the treasures hidden beneath your trousers. And the tie — oh, the tie — beckoning to be used as a leash, guiding you to a quiet alley where your suit’s quality can be thoroughly inspected, along with everything it conceals.
