Top Tips for Buying Men’s Suits
Suits define the path to a man’s elegance and form a critical pillar of a men’s fashion. But people seem to confuse what a suit is and take all sorts of clothing and term them as suits. A suit is a set of trousers and a jacket of the same cut, tailored from the same fabric and meant to be worn together. It would be best for a man to own a few quality suits bought from reputable suit sellers.
Here are a few tips for buying men’s suits:
Decide on Your Budget
Suits do not come cheap, so you need to plan on buying a quality one. Their price range is quite broad, and ideally, you need to prepare for $200- $2000. However, you could spend even lower amounts in some bargain stores or during stock-clearance sales or other promotions. All the same, at $200- $2000, is the typical medium where you and most men will get decent looking suits.
But if you want to dress up and be presentable, you need to budget for a significant amount and almost half of most men’s salary. The amount is to get you the suit, the shirt, the belt, and the shoes. You could opt for custom suits, bespoke, or off the rack suits.
Get Your Best Fit
When it comes to suits, fit is everything, and no matter the suit’s cost, an ill-fitting suit will not look good on you. As a rule of thumb, never buy a suit that does not fit you unless you are so sure that you can get a tailor to adjust it. It would even be better to pay more to get a fitting suit because a wrong fit will be equivalent to throwing away your hard-earned money.
Some men have problems finding off the rack fitting suits, especially those who are unusually muscular, stout, thin, tall, or short. Such men may have to go for custom suits. These are ‘made to measure’ suits that are tailored to fit the buyer’s measurements.
Select Your Fabric
If you are not cash-strapped, the best quality suit is 100% wool. However, wool is quite an expensive material, which makes it necessary to have blends. So, you can find 70%, 50%, or 30% blends. The best thing with blends is that they save you some significant cash, and they are not bad. However, they are indicators of lower quality suits.
Besides the above factors, you need to ignore fashion and focus on function, which means you buy a suit that you will wear for a couple of years but not a trendy one. For example, buy two or three-button suits and not four or five-button ones.…
