Worn about 2-3 times and stored in the closet. The ribbon and tie can be attached and detached with buttons. This is a formal suit that can be worn in two ways: a black suit with both a ribbon and a tie. The ribbon style is suitable for graduation ceremonies, entrance ceremonies, and as a standard uniform for private schools. The tie is made of plain black satin fabric, so it can be worn as mourning attire or formal wear for funerals and memorial services.
