Put the outfit away complete
After an event, check the jacket and trouser fronts, hems, and pockets before storage. Address marks according to the label or with a cleaner familiar with the garment. Do not cover clothing while it is damp. Use appropriate shoulder support for the jacket and preserve the trousers' intended shape. Keep enough clearance that satin details are not rubbed against rough zippers or accessories on nearby garments.
Store accessories separately but together
A labeled pouch or small box can hold the bow tie, studs, and cufflinks near the suit without adding weight to its pockets. Note which shirt and shoes complete the outfit. Before the next event, try everything on and check fastenings while there is time for alterations. A protective cover can limit dust, but it cannot make an unsuitable humid cupboard or badly fitting hanger appropriate for long-term storage.
