If you’re new to the world of custom clothing, buying bespoke can be more daunting than selling your first company or playing golf with a new boss.
Get the situation under control by sticking with the basics. First, ask yourself what is the suit for? Are you looking for weekly office wear, something dapper and debonair to impress a lady or a suit that will add a touch of flair to an already well developed wardrobe?
Second, when will you wear it? Darker suits work best for the office and the fall/winter months. Lighter and brighter will keep you cool and hip in the heat of summer. Fabrics should be quality, regardless.
Finally, know your own style and think about your fashion icons. Are you Jay Z in a dapper three-piece single-breasted Prince of Wales or James Bond in a steel grey two-piece with matching necktie? Dress for the job you want next. Imagine the suit you would wear to your first board meeting.
Having a clear image in your head of what style you want to achieve will help you clarify and customize your choice. Take time to discuss with your bespoke advisor details regarding fabric, cut – slim fit silhouette or traditional – and construction.
The bespoke suit reads quality because it reads you. Make it yours with the right details: single or double breasted; contrasting buttonholes, peak vs notch lapels, pick stitching or adding a ticket pocket.
You are an individual. Let us help you dress like one.
