Tips on How to Buy a Fitted Suit
Tips on How to Buy a Fitted Suit
Buying a fitted suit can be a bit of a task if you aren’t used to buying your own clothing. The question is—how precisely do you go about buying a fitted suit. And what on earth is a fitted suit?
First of all, men are gravitating towards smaller clothing nowadays. The giant gangster type suits from the years passed are slowly being surpassed by the fitted suit, which is a suit of different proportions—literally. A fitted suit is a suit in which the shoulders are slimmer and the hemlines are shorter. It’s fairly simple and not all that different.
When choosing a suit to buy, you want to look not only at the suit, but also at you. Firstly, make sure that your suit fits you right. If you’re a big guy, make sure your suit is big enough. If you’re a little guy, the same thing in reverse.
Now, say that you find a suit that you really like. It looks great on you—really, truly great. But the legs are too short for comfort. What do you do? Well, ask the sales associates if they have any suits that are a little bit lengthier. The same goes for if it’s too long for your tastes.
Dark colors, especially navy and black, are great color choices. They are not only slimming (which is the idea with fitted suits), but also are great for any occasion, whether it’s a business meeting or your wedding.

MEN’S FASHION – OFFICE LOOK
MEN’S FASHION – OFFICE LOOK
Working in an office for a man can be complicated, more so than for a woman, and especially when it comes to dressing the part. Men are often tricked into believing that dressing for an office job is easy because it’s a simple suit and tie type of dress code. What they may not realize is that buying and shopping for suits can be very confusing, because there are so many different aspects of office wear that are confusing. A few tricks can help you shop smart and still be stylish as a male in your office, however.
One of the best things you can do when dressing to impress in your office area is to go with classic looks that never really go out of style. This is perfect for the man who has a lot of trouble or little time to keep up with the latest fashions for men when it comes to the office look. Try finding button downs and ties in neutral colors, finding that classic suit and buying it in several colors, or wearing clothes that universally look good on you, so much so that it doesn’t matter if they’re out of season.
Another thing you can do is to notice what your colleagues wear on a daily basis. This will be helpful because you don’t want to be wearing a full suit when your co-workers refuse to and only wear their button downs and ties, with the sleeves rolled up and ties loosened. This will help you because you may not have to worry as much about the office fashion period.
BACK IN BLACK, TRENDY COLOR SUMMER, FALL
BACK IN BLACK, TRENDY COLOR SUMMER, FALL 2010
Traditionally black is a very popular color in any wardrobe. It can be used as a staple color or as a accent color. Black has been the color of choice for men’s tuxedos, suits, and neckties. While many men see black as just a basic color they have to wear, black is actually the perfect way to let your personality shine through.
No color will serve a man better than black where a suit is concerned. Sometimes, black suits can be mistaken as boring or even sad but they are great to use to fill your wardrobe with colors. For example, contrast your black suit with bright shirts. Wear shirts that are aqua, red, pistachio, or even a pink. Add in a tie that blends both the colors of the suit and the shirt and you will look fantastic. Many men think they have to match the shirt to the jacket and the tie to the shirt, but this makes them look commonplace and boring. Add color, and better yet, if the black suit is your only suit, as long as the detail and stitching is conservative, no one will know it.
Black is also becoming a popular color in accessories. It’s a popular color to use as an accent in tan or brown blazers. It’s also added as a stripe to white dress shirts, which helps the shirt to go well with fantastic ties such as a gold or crimson tie. Black is used as an accent color in shoe stitching and helps to make a pair of shoes versatile. Black is also very popular with gold and silver accessories, and makes them easily match any man’s outfit.

What’s even more comfortable than relaxing in your pajamas? Relaxing in your pajamas wearing a comfy pair of slippers.

But slippers are also great for letting your tired feet rest and some even have the added comfort of massaging insoles or snuggly sheepskin.
Slippers come in many styles for men. Some slippers are made like a flip-flop sandal – they have a thong, small part that covers the top part of your foot, and are usually lined in sheepskin and have good traction. Speaking of traction, some slippers are made to wear both indoors and outdoors. These slippers have great traction but all the comfort of a traditional house slipper, and are perfect for walking the dog late at night or getting the newspaper in the morning.
