I was in my zone like 23. Cool walk, check! Tight haircut, check! Fresh suit and shoes, check! I was so siked that theme music played in my head to the rhythm of every step. To accompany my steps were wide-legged slacks, which flared with every motion like they were being blown by the wind. My jacket was equipped with three buttons and strong shoulder pads, and hung a little past the fingernails of both hands. The shoes were square-toe Mezlans, with the shine of a brand new paint job on a beautiful summer's day. The voice in my head said "Boyyy you clean, grab your phone and take a picture!" So I did. Filled with excitement, I tapped on my gallery to see the outcome of the selfie. "WHAT THE!!! Now this is just not right!" It's 2010, but I'm looking like an NBA player from the Shaq/Kobe dynasty. Time to find a tailor!
If the suit don't fit you must acquit.. or get it altered. This fashion tip is essential if you are a style enthusiast of today. The times of wearing sweatsuits with a tie and a handkerchief are over. Being a fashion enthusiast, the observation of people's styles is a daily occurrence. I'm constantly amazed to see how may men are still wearing baggy suits. Believe me, I'm not the one to criticize your style, I'm just an advocate for a better looking you. Plus, wearing clothes that fit will appear to remove ten years and pounds off your look.
Start with purchasing a suit that's close to your true size. Example, if you are a 41 regular jacket and 33 waist pant, buy a 42R 34W. Make sure the suit is a custom or slim fit with a maximum of two buttons. Remember, this is a suit jacket not a dress shirt. Flaps or opened pockets are necessary and the back should have a single or double vent. Your pants should have a mid to high crotch, with a straight-leg cut. Now it's time for alterations.
Do yourself a favor and find a good tailor. Tailors have the ability to alter your jacket to true size and taper the pants for a streamline look. You will find that altering a a nice suit is cheaper than buying a customized piece and a great tailor can make your suit fit like a customized one. For those who can afford customized suits, I have only two words, Buy em!
It's been several years since Michael Jordan announced his retirement and hung up his jersey for the final time. I suggest we do the same with our over-sized suits.
