Choosing a good suit can be a daunting task. There are many different types out there and they can range in price from $100 up to $5,000. The key is understanding the purpose of your suit and then picking the right one for you.
You should also know about your body type before making a purchase because this will help you find the perfect fit for you.
1) Dressing Occasion
If you’re looking for a presentable outfit to wear at an interview, interview with an employer or attend church then go with traditional department store brands like Calvin Klein or Levi’s. If you’re going to be attending a special event like a wedding, then it’s ok to spend more money on something that you can wear once. Make sure that you read the fine print because sometimes the cheaper brands are actually used by more expensive brands to manufacture their clothing.
2) Color and Style
There are many different colors and styles of suits out there. For example, there is the 2 button suit, 3 button suit and so on… The 2 button suit is considered more formal than a 3-button or 4-button suit, but there really isn’t any difference in quality in terms of stitching precision and overall look. Go with a two-button suit if you’re looking for something that fits nicely and flatters your physique.
3) Fabric and Fit
Buy a suit that fits you correctly by going to a store that specializes in custom tailoring or suits. Dress around the store so you can see how they fit, test the fabrics and then ask them questions regarding their fitting methods. You should also take your measurements while they are holding up some different styles of suits to get an idea of what size you need so that it matches your body type. Then, go to a department store in the same way that you normally would and buy a suit that fits you well.
4) Quality Ingredients
You should pay attention to details when it comes to your suit. If you are buying a two-button suit that comes with a four-button jacket, then the quality of material used will be of higher quality than if they combined the two parts into one more expensive piece. Just because something is more expensive doesn’t mean it is necessarily better quality.
Conclusion
If you want to purchase a suit that is made by a high-quality company, then choose an off-the-rack suit. A quality off-the-rack suit will come with many layers of fabric that are stitched and woven together carefully. The stitching is what makes the shirt and pants last longer because it prevents them from unraveling. If you don’t have the money to purchase a two-button, four-button or two different fabrics, then consider purchasing a suit that is multi functional like a microfiber sheath suit. It will look just as good as a regular piece of clothing but it will also be able to withstand extreme temperatures so you can wear it during spring or fall season.
