Suits are one of the most important aspects to any man's life. You simply have to have at least one suit in your closet even if you are the most casual guy ever. I know as a woman, I can get away with jeans for the most part, but then something comes up and it makes me realize that everyone should at least have a few different outfit's that are considered dressy especially for surprise things like weddings and dinners. The suit is probably going to be one of the more expensive things you will ever buy, but it's also a great investment. However, a lot of men simply get caught up in the whys and never find out the how's. Well, here is your little guide once and for all. If you follow these suite tips and other extras I added in, chances are you are going to buy an amazing suite, it's going to be one you can wear for a long time, and you are going to look damn good in it - which is one of the most important facets! - Beware of the sales person: As with women, sometimes you simply cannot depend on the sales person for their honest opinion on what REALLY look good or doesn't look good on you!
Frankly, most of these people will tell you whatever you want to hear, as long as you buy the suit! For this reason alone, you need to realize how a suit is supposed to fit and what kind of a suit you are looking for. If you still are confused, you can always take along a friend (not the goofy one that always makes fun of you), but a good friend that will be honest with you and tell you if you look good or not. Whatever you do, don't take your gift box mother! - Know why you are buying the suit: If you are buying a suit, chances are it's for a specific reason. If you are looking for a suit you can wear to the office or to your business, it's a good idea to stick with dark colors like brown, navy blue or black. Also, be sure that you wear the same "shades" of shoes and belts as well. Black and navy are always a safe bet for any coloring when it comes to dressing up! On the other hand, if you are looking for a nice suit for your sister's graduation, your cousins wedding, or your Aunt Fran's funeral black is always going to be the safest bet. You can also get away with wearing the jacket of the suit on its own as well with a simple pair of jeans and nice belt buckle. - Be sure you know the size of your suit! I know this might sound obvious, but apparently it's not because some men end up shopping for a suit longer than it takes a woman to shop for shoes! Not all suits fit the same, and not everyone is going to like the same fit. So if possible, either try on a few beforehand, or find out the main components of a suit and what to look for when wearing a suit. For example, short pants? Are a no no. Too long, and they look frumpy and drag on the ground. Your suit jacket sleeves are the same way, as well as the back of the suit where it lays on your shoulder blades! - Now the time has come for you to try on the suit.
