DIARY: All you need to know about ... What suits the suits wear
<p>Style is a matter of taste. But when it comes to outfits that </p><p>inspire, Asia's ad execs are a cut above the rest. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Hong Kong: </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>While Hong Kongers prefer the tailor-made look, Armani takes top spot </p><p>with executives when it comes to sharp cuts that flow with the body. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The Italian knit designer label Missoni is also appreciated for its </p><p>geometry and stripes that are ideal for cooler months. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>And while most are reluctant to admit it in public, many advertising </p><p>professionals in the SAR secretly own at least one Marks & Spencer's </p><p>suit. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Beijing: </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The dry heat of summer in Beijing only leaves room for one label - </p><p>Zega. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Its classic feel with a twist of stylish independence helps executives </p><p>here stay cool. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Singapore: </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Here, it's not the name, but the cut that counts. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>A more simplistic approach is taken by professionals that feel the </p><p>summer sun all year round. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Kenneth Cole shirts and light sweaters are a must. Neither can you go </p><p>wrong with a pair of Country Road pants for a sharp and comfortable </p><p>look. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>However, ad execs here stress that it's not the brand, but the cut, </p><p>material and simplicity that matters. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Those that prefer the tailored-to-fit look, say they're experimenting </p><p>with Salvatore Ferragamo's specialised service for men that delivers the </p><p>same sharp, impressive tailoring as its pret a porter collection. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Taipei: </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>In Taiwan, there's one brand on everyone's hips - Armani. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Why? "Well, if you have to ask that, you just don't get it," we're told. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
