Good Suit in the Closet
Men Have at Least One Good Suit in the Closet. No matter what your job is, you’re going to need a decent suit at some point. If you’re in a field where you’re going to wear one regularly you should look for a variety of colors and styles; if you just need a single suit for infrequent dress occasions stick with a classic single-breasted, two-button suit in charcoal gray or navy blue. If you’re buying off the rack take the time to have the suit adjusted. A few department stores still offer the service, but you’ll more than likely need to find a tailor independently. It’s worth the effort — sized suits are made to general measurements, and not all of them are going to be a perfect fit for you. A good tailor can make the small changes that take your suit from looking mediocre to perfect for you.
When you’re developing your sense of style, you want to open your mind to new types of clothing and clothing styles. You should try things you never would have thought to wear before. Maybe you try wearing chinos instead of jeans or a jacket instead of a sweater. Maybe you can try business casual attire or even a suit. Maybe you can try changing your sneakers for desert boots, loafers or brogues. You’d be amazed how good you could look in items that you previously thought “weren’t you.”
