Tailored

Thursday, November 15, 2012


I've been doing a lot of suit shopping recently, and discovered that for a fairly unchanging set of garments, it's surprisingly difficult to get just the right thing (although that says something about the guy I'm shopping for, too)! I'm sure men have the same compliant about women's clothes, but you'd think a blazer would prove pretty easy to pick out!


So while I ponder chino, linen or English wool; two buttons or three; center or double vent–tell me, what do you or your guy look for when shopping for a suit? Does fabric, construction or price point get your attention?

  1. For my husband, it's all about the fit- he likes it to fit well even before being tailored. I must say, I loathe suit shopping!

  2. The last time Jared needed a suit it took us forever to find one! This could also be because he hates shopping, but I was still surprised at the difficulty.

  3. The fabric, and the buttons. My husband is SO particular about his suits. He tells me that just as women are with their fancy dresses, men are the same way (or should be) about their suits. He's also very particular about ties (color, how they are knotted, they can't be too thin...etc). He's a riot.

  4. I'm just assuming this guy is hot. Yep. A suit can do that for a man.

  7. My guy looks for hit, he's short but with very broad shoulders, that can be hard to find.

  8. Whoa...I see this pic and it's pure nostalgia. This is almost exactly what the husband wore on our big day. Good memories.

  9. it's SO hard! i think part of the problem is that i just don't have as big of a vocabulary when it comes to menswear. that and suiting is pretty dang expensive. any special occasion for the suit??
