Hello, gentlemen! I'm venturing into the world of suits for the first time.
I've been working from home for quite some time, but am now pitching angels and VCs for a startup, and for some of the more formal pitches I feel like a well fitting suit would help with credibility. I'm 25 years old, and I've been told I look young. I've attached some pictures so you can judge for yourself.
I'm tall (6' 6"), skinny (185lb at 14% bodyfat), but I'm getting a gym membership and intend to shoot for 190lb at 10% bodyfat. That should add some width to my shoulders, and give them a little bit more of a slant, and fill out my otherwise non-existant butt.
I have just a couple quick questions:
1) I noticed Indochino is having a 30% off orders over $700 sale, so I considered getting two suits - Navy and Charcoal - total would come to around $540. Thoughts on this move?
2) I've read the Indochino massive thread - if you would recommend against indochino, what would be my second best approach in a similar price range?
3) For my first two suits, would navy and charcoal be the best two, or should I do a lighter grey rather than the charcoal grey?
4) Any other advice for me? Shoes? I have some rather worn AE Park Avenue's (in black), with their fair share of scuffs.
Thank you for your advice!
