From my experience...I e-mailed this to my little brother.
...With your body type, you will be fine in any suit...as long as it's not too expensive and black. ( I wouldn't spend more than $400 on theory or anything like that, any more you should go to brooks brothers or ralph lauren and have it properly made for you )
Everyman should have 1 black suit. I bought my first when I was 18. i still wear it. (Im 32) A black suit you can wear to a interview, funeral, wedding, meeting. Get a two button so when you get tired of it you can rock the blazer with jeans. Use this suit to learn about what works for you and doesn't. I have had quite a few people disagree with me on this, but I err to the side of caution.
Im a big guy, vents don't look right for me. Also slim fit...no way. But these are things I learned from the first suit. Now that I am older and have screwed a few things up my next suit will be custom made. Mainly because my body type is a-typical.
Never buy from Men's Warehouse. Never buy thick pinstripes. Don't buy those stupid mad men suits ( they're costumes )
Always wear cufflinks, Always Monogram your shirt, Always keep your shoulders loose enough to throw a jab and a cross. Pocket square on the left, hankerchief in the back pocket. Remember you give ladies the silk.
Love & Respect,
Your Brother Woody
- hahah why the fuck does everyone hate mens wearhouse?? let me in the know!404
- because they sell overpriced suits, and the tailors are hacks. The suit I got back had been hacked apart. The coats too long, shoulders too big, pants too short, etc. etc. It was my $650 mistake, I will never make it again.woodyBatts
