NOTE: I admit up front I don’t know how to speak to the women about this topic.
Perhaps the same advice applies!

If you frequently wear a suit, I HIGHLY recommend investing in custom made suits and shirts. I’m not talking about the suits off the rack at Foley’s or Men’s Warehouse where the salesman says they your suite will be ‘custom tailored’. I’m talking about going into a reputable little boutique and going through the process with a professional haberdasher to get every little part of your body measured so that what you get fits perfectly and, most importantly, comfortably.

After you’ve done all the measurements (which stay on file for future purchases), it is time to discuss the type and color of the fabric of the suit. A good haberdasher will ask you good questions about what and who you’ll be talking too (almost sounds like a good salesperson doesn’t it?) and make the proper recommendations. After this you’ll do the same thing for shirts.

What you get is a perfect fitting wardrobe. The cuffs of your suit sleeves are perfectly aligned with the cuffs of your shirt, which is the perfect length of your arms. The shoulders of your suit matches the contours of your shoulders – likewise your back, your stomach, your butt, etc.

Now that you have a nice suit, don’t spoil it with lousy shoes! Invest in some Allen Edmonds or something like that. Pretty comfortable, affordable, and great looking.

Yes it will cost money, but trust me, it is one of the BEST investments I’ve made in myself. I’m so glad I took my friends advice about getting a custom suit. It truly has paid off.
