    Where to get my first suit?

    You should try SuitSupply. They tend to have good quality for lower prices. Jos A. Bank suits tend to be cut too "traditionally" for most people, and the fabric honestly doesn't feel that great. If you buy there, you'd definitely need to get your suits altered to a large degree. Whatever you...

    PROM SUIT

     Assuming that Prom is held during the evening, a darker-colored suit (with a white shirt and satin tie) almost always looks better than one in light gray. Moreover, sneakers are an abomination when worn outside of a casual setting, so instead invest in a pair of dress shoes that you can...

    Good advice appreciated

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Okay, here's a more zoomed out look. Great to see that I'm not the only younger person who does not dread wearing suits. I'd say perhaps reverse the shirt/tie color and consider a square.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Ok, second outfit that I post in this forum. Let me point out some of the flaws myself to spare you the time: Yes, the jacket is a bit on the short side, as goes for the sleeves. It's an old favorite RL blazer that I don't want to depart from as of yet though. The tie is a bit askew in the...
