Perhaps the best and most sensible inspiration when it comes to men’s executive and city wardrobe is this handy “tip”, a real Swiss Army knife for the dynamic man whose environment is the hustle and bustle of the “urban jungle”. Particularly for young professionals who hesitate to imitate what they see, for the security it gives them, spending more than investing in what is the code for when the socio-professional situation demands it, such as politicians, lawyers, auditors and other professions where non-verbalism is valued.

The Big Five is the quintet of sleeves that dresses up any situation not elevated to the ceremony, and we’re talking about 4 suits and a dark blue jacket of a darker hue. The cut should be as classic and understated as possible, such as a two-button jacket with two or three pieces. In turn, the fabric should be merino wool or a wool mix depending on the use and intended purpose in a weight between 270 and 290g and the patterns, if you can’t buy them all at once, should follow this sequence: dark blue suit and blue jacket, dark grey suit, small patterned suit (pie’d’poule, birdseye, houndstooth, etc.), diplomatic stripe suit in chalk or pinstripe. The shirt is white, the tie according to the personality of the day and the pocket handkerchief according to the mood and we’re ready for any situation or invitation. From this base opens up a whole range of options that will be more or less fashionable, more or less stylish, but the solid foundation of a wardrobe is the Big Five.
