Rules For Buying The Perfect Suit
January 28, 2009
If you work in a corporate environment or hope to survive in one besides actually growing to a position of power, then you will have definitely given a thought (or two) to investing in the perfect suit. If not, here is why you can’t avoid buying the perfect suit and what exactly to look for in the best buy for your budget; take a look!
The two most important points you need to keep in mind when considering a business suit is the versatility of the package and how much you can afford to shell out to really look the part you are supposed to represent. So, think about the occasions where you can wear it (not just meetings, business lunches, trade shows, but perhaps a wedding, cocktail etc. – i.e. social and official situations mix). Then consider the cost as a really good suit will set you back by a good $200 at least, unless you’re lucky enough to pick up prêt-a-porter your style and size or have a festive discount sale in town.
For the very basic business suit, why not consider a separates-style (it also lowers the cost considerably as compared to a traditional 3-piece): some global brands available in South East Asia though designed by the biggest European names in the business include Nautica, Banana Republic, Lauren by Ralph Lauren. These sell their jackets and pants separately and you can also pick up Marks and Spencer’s besides Alfani for the custom-fits with finest garment fitting technology for bigger jackets or slimmer trousers if you have an athletic body that needs this type.
Try out different styles in front of a 3-sided mirror for a certain look from all views and take a woman friend along to give you un-biased and chic judgement on what looks best on you; feel the fabric to check for lightweight yet multi-seasonal options that you can wear to many places in different types of weather. In addition to the above points, check the material of the suit-lining as the better quality suits will usually offer interesting patterns and cloth for linings as well – so slipping off your coat will be just as stylish as slipping it on!
