Tips For Keeping A Suit From Looking Stuffed

By Victor Santerino

When a man buys a suit he usually does not have to concern himself with the number of pockets that will be available. This is because the jacket and trousers combine to have anywhere from 7 to 12 pockets stitched into them.

The problem with these pockets however, is that most of them are not functional, meaning they cannot be used. For instance stuffed jacket pockets always seem to make the jacket look misshapen and even trouser pockets can fall victim to the stuffed pockets look.

I wrote this article to let men know where to put their gear and how to do it in a way that does not look terrible. Upon finishing this article you will know what to do with your items each time you are forced to carry them.

The best way to keep pockets from looking full is to not use them. This can be achieved in cold climates by using your coat pockets exclusively. I do not recommend this tactic for anybody that might be at risk of having their jackets looted.

For men that do not have the option of using a jacket to store their belongings in a jacket there is help. However, you will still be relegated to keeping most of your items out of your jacket.

Men need to realize that they cannot store items in their exterior jacket pockets. Items can be stored in the inside pockets but should only be done with items that are thin and will not show through the jacket.

Trousers with back pockets can be used to hide items when the jacket is worn. The use of this method however, is only good when a man knows he will not be taking off his jacket.

When absolutely necessary you should use your front two trouser pockets to hold items like wallets and cell phones. Be sure to take all non-essential items out of your wallet to make it as flat as possible.
