Every man must have a suit in his wardrobe. This manga male is wearing a typical
two-piece suit and loafers. Note how the creases on each leg are clearly indicated,
and how the jacket goes in at the waist to give a tailored look. The outfit is finished
off with a folded handkerchief in the breast pocket.SMART SUIT
