In my last post I discussed how some men prefer loser fits as opposed to a more modern slimmer fit etc. Today and throughout the week, I shall talk about the basics on buying a suit. To start you will need to ask yourself a few questions yet again.
First question being..Is this my first suit? If so then it can make things a bit easier. However if it is not your first suit, then ask yourself..What am I looking for in a new suit and what am I buying it for? Practicality? Leisure? Just because?
If you are buying your first suit then here is what you need to know. The 2 basic colors every man should own are grey/charcoal, and navy. Not black. Black is used more for formal settings such as funerals, black tie events, performances if you are a performer. The reason grey/charcoal and navy are the most basic is due to their timeless look and versatility.
Now if you wanna change it up a bit, get the 2 basics but have one be solid and the other some form of pattern whether it be pinstripes, glen-check, windowpane or something of the sort. However, if you choose to do that, make sure the pattern doesn't consume the suit itself. Subtlety is better than a punch in the face. Once you have the 2 basics or at least 1 of the basics, feel free to get a little adventurous. Go for a seasonal color or fabric. Maybe a little bit more bold pattern. More on this later!
