One's Men Wear Suit Choose Small Piece Fabric

When men wear business suits, they can choose to wear many "accessories," or small things that look good when they are worn with a suit. The most common accessory is a "tie," or a long piece of fabric that is tied around a man's neck and worn over a shirt, but under a suit jacket. Ties come in many colors and with many different designs or patterns. Many professionals choose "conservative" (traditional) ties that are one color or have only thin "stripes" (straight colored lines).

Some men choose to use a "tie clip" with their tie. A "tie clip" is a thin piece of metal that slides over one's tie in front of one's chest and "attaches" (connects) to one's shirt, so that the tie can't move very much. This helps to keep the tie from getting in one's way while eating, working, or using office equipment.

Men can also wear "cuff links" with their suits. "Cuff links" are small pieces of metal with a special image that are used to close one's "sleeve" (the fabric over one's arm) around one's "wrist" (the part of one's body between one's hand and arm). Some cufflinks are very expensive, made with diamonds and gold. Others have images related to sports teams or other things that are important to the men who wear them.

Finally, a "handkerchief" can be an accessory for a business suit. A "handkerchief" is a small, square piece of colored fabric that is folded and placed in one's jacket pocket, on one's chest. A small part of the handkerchief can be seen in the pocket, adding color to the suit. The handkerchief often "matches" (has the same color as) the tie.
