Thanks in part to the NBA Dress Code, there were a lot of suits on display in LA this past weekend. Lebron, D Wade and Chris Bosh got it right as usual. Their suits fit great, the colors are complimentary and the styling is current. (I could do without the diamond studs but hey, they do play in the NBA.)
To get it right, the Big Men have to be cautious about patterns, scale and proportions. (Did anyone notice Dwight Howard's skinny tie on Saturday? Wearing a tie is great. Wearing a skinny tie when you're 6'9" and 265 lbs.? Not great.) And with that, a few style tips for current and future NBA players and the guys built like them.
Don't go too small on the patterns. Select one that compliments your build. Pick a shirt with a collar that will sit properly on your frame. Make sure your jacket and lapel are appropriate for your shoulder width. And of course, make sure your tie is long enough and wide enough. It shouldn't look like a chest protector but it shouldn't look like you've tied your laces around your neck either.
