How To choose A Stylish Suit

Buying a new suit can be confusing when you don't know what you're looking for.

There are so many decisions involved and so many materials, colors, fits and styles to choose from. And choosing the wrong suit can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars! In this article, we're saving you time, money whole lot of headache. We explain exactly what to look for when buying a suit.

How To choose A Stylish Suit

Opt for a tailor-made or ready-to-wear suit. If you go with ready-to-wear, ensure that the fit is correct and drop it off for alterations to make it as custom as possible.

• Cast a wide net in looking for clothes. Check out multiple brands to find out what fits your body best.

• Look for shoulders that lie flat and have the seam match the length of the bone underneath it.

• Jacket buttons should close without strain and should not make the lapels hang forward or the lower part of the jacket flare out like a skirt.

Choose fabric, buttons, lapels, and vents according to weather, functionality, and your preferred style.

• Wool fabrics can be worn all year round in a medium weight. Opt for cotton or linen suits in hot climates, but note that they don’t travel well because they crease and wrinkle easily.

• Pick a jacket lining that adds a pop of color or pattern, but still complements the shirts that you wear with it.
  

Stick with plenty of white and light blue for an always-classic and appropriate look, but also branch out to button-downs in a range of colors to help lend variety to the same suit day to day.

Tie your ties in a clean Windsor or double Windsor knot rather than the too-simple four-in-hand knot.

Choose a full tuxedo complete with cummerbund or vest and bowtie or cravat for a black tie event. Rent your tuxedo for a reasonable price, unless you need to wear one often enough to warrant purchasing your own.
