Total newbie, please go easy on me or point me in the right direction if this is the wrong place.
I'm usually a very casual dresser, but I more and more find myself in situations where I need to wear a suit. Red carpet events for example, which usually call for black tie but not overly formal. The "you don't want to look like you're turning up for a wedding" kinda thing, if that makes sense.
Quick random example:
The other thing is that I don't have the most flattering body shape, I'm a bit overweight... I believe I'm a size 54 in UK sizes. I'm open to spending some money on this, ie. go for a made-to-measure suit, but I haven't got the faintest clue where to start with this. I'm based in London so hoping there's some options locally. Any ideas or pointers would be most welcome. Also any advice on terminology would be appreciated, I'm sure I'm not expressing myself very well here.
Thanks!
