Buying suits can be a daunting task for people who are not
sure where to start. Working in a professional setting often requires the use
of suits for meetings, interviews, or other important social events. Any person
who is a casual wearer of suits should have between 4 and 5 in their closet for
a variety of occasions.
Whether you are searching online or walking through the mall
you should consider a few solid tips on purchasing the right suit for your
needs. No matter what range of suit you are seeking to purchase quality is
always a better indicator than price. The price posted on the tag is not the
final price and there is always a little wiggle room. With that in mind
consider the following tips:
1.
Avoid Pleats: Pleated pants will make you look
bigger than you are. To have the masculine top with a thinner waste avoid the
extra material that is comfortable but of poor taste.
2.
A Little Snug: A proper suit should be a little
snug and constricting. Extra space in a suit will look sloppy and make you look
larger than you are.
3.
Two Buttons: Two buttons is more modern than
three button suits. When wearing a two button suit ensure that you leave the bottom
button open.
4.
Avoid Excessive Tailoring: Avoid suits that
require too much tailoring. If it isn’t close to the proper fit excessive
cutting and sewing will impact its overall look.
5.
Color and pattern: It is generally advisable to
stick with traditional colors for suits until you build a reasonable wardrobe
of navy blue, charcoal grey, and brown.
6.
Measurements: Measurements should be taken of neck, shoulders,
sleeves, chest, waist, and inseam in order to tailor the suit properly.
7.
Accessories: Belts should match your shoes and
buckles should match your watch.
8.
Tie Choice: In today’s world a thinner tie is
better than a thicker one. Make sure
that some of the color matches the rest of the material unless you are looking
for a clash.
