Fashion 101-Ghanaian fashion consultant to the rescue

Arnold Ossei, a famous Ghanaian has established himself as one of the best dressed Ghanaian in the United States. Having worked at the Men's Wearhouse for the past 18 years he has earned the reputation as one of the top salesman for a number of years. He made the founders club by producing over half a million dollars in sales for seven years in a row.

He has been working as a lifestyle revamping the client closet/wardrobe and introducing new styles, colors, correct footwear and proper fit depending on the shape of the individual. This has earned him promotion at the Men's' Wearhouse to the position of assistant manager. According to Arnold, “fashion comes and goes but Style lasts forever. Fit is very significant when it comes to men's tailored clothing. Most men wear their tailored clothing too big, too long or the wrong style and cut depending on the body type, sleeves tend to be too long which should sit at the break of the wrist, coat should be slightly snug in the mid-section but certainly not tight the jacket should cover just below the seat, the flat front dress slacks gives a very nice slim tailored appearance for any body shape, keep the hem just above the top heel of the dress shoes.

Unless you are an advance sartorialist stay away from the four button suits, a two button suit is the best for any body type always keep the lower button unbuttoned, the three button suit fits a more slimmer built not so broad chested individual only the middle button should stay close, the one button suit is more a fashion forward statement maker, works very well on a more broad chested individual especially in the peak lapel which you see much more in the fashion powerhouses, the double breasted suit has made a strong comeback looks best on a more slightly slimmer figure look for the six on two side vents make sure it stays button at all times. If you choose to wear a skinny tie keeps the lapel on the suit coat slim with a smaller shirt collar and do not tie a full windsor knot, a four in hand or half windsor is more preferable, the widespread shirt works well with the full windsor and a wider lapel suit coat.”

On Arnold's recommendation for the kind of fabric one should pick he says “When shopping for a suit opt for a wool fabric, there are different grades the super 120s and 150s are great for the spring/summer the flannel is excellent for the winter season, keep it dark for business and formal events, the cotton suit or seersucker is great for casual activities. Men needs to challenge themselves with bold colors and patterns. He needs to combine the ordinary with the unexpected and keep everyone guessing about what he will do say and wear next.
