Smart Style: Men's Suits

When it comes to men's suiting, the only 'smart style' I can suggest is to invest some of your hard earned dollars in a reputable designer label. Of course, if you have a tailor that you consult and have your suit pieces made then you're all set.

Ready to wear blazers, jackets, tuxedos and pants are virtually available in every department stores out there. And at most the alterations will take at least 24 hours or some places offers same day service. This convenience which I'm sure have saved a few grooms due to last minute mishaps. Has a few drawbacks, from production issues to damages on the merchandise itself. 

And for us gentlemen whom the luxury of having an 'atelier' at our disposal is not an option. The next best thing is ready to wear suits and separates from designers like Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, John Varvatos and Hugo Boss. Prices can range from the low hundreds to a thousand dollars just for a blazer or jacket. But expect great workmanship and longevity.
