I'm going to a wedding and I want to buy a brand new suit. I'm in need of some advice. Basically, I want it to be a black suit, white shirt, black shoes and silverish tie. I'm not sure what looks better, pin stripped, or just plain colour without any pattens etc. Guys, what suit would you wear?
yess, very nicee, thx, I'm going to look out for these styles. The only problem is that there quite expensive lol
Armani! Of course Can't you get some consultation at the boutique? I'm sure they can help you out! I know there's technical stuff like collar,... buttons.. etc...
I think plain looks better - you can get away with light grey pin stripes on a dark grey suit, but I'd definitely recommend plain.
Hey, I think pin stripe looks nice! Also doesn't your body type matter as well? I know pin stripe will make you look taller (verticle lines)
hehe...i'm 6'3" i don't really need to look taller I think a orange suit with some black pin stripes might be pretty cool...i have an excellent sense of fashion...
no no no! lol is that what are you joking? A sleek design would be black fabric with dark grey pinstripe so they're not THAT visible
I love the pinstripes! But of course, it does depend on your body type... If you are thin, or even broad shoulderd, with a nice taper to your waist, pinstripes are the way to go. But if you are a bit on the roundish side, you'll probably want to stick to the solid colors. But then, I am a girl and you are asking for guys opinions, so maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Ladies have a better sense of fashion (lol such a stereotype) but seriously.. I was shocked my guys (before prom) were talking all of the technical suit stuff.... and I thought they thought suits all looked the same
I've never understood the purpose of adding something to a suit...that you try to hide... ok...so not orange...how about neon pink?...he could be the talk of the wedding...i'm sure the bride would love that
The question you sould be asking yourself is: Do you wear a suit often? If you do then get a pinstripe, you will get the wear out of it before stripes go out of fashion. If you do not, get a plain one. Unless of course price doesn't matter! With a plain, atleast you can wear the trousers on their own or the Jacket on their own at a later date if you do not wear a suit that often. As for Armani or other designer suits, I would get a made to measure suit from a good tailor before a designer suit. Create your own style, your own look and most of all choose your own fabric. And what has it to do with me? I own a Menswear and Tailoring shop in the UK (and have done so for the last 20 years) so maybe I am biased or maybe I know a little about it or maybe I don't? Who knows? Hopper PS 8everything, 3 button single breasted is so last year even if it is Armarni!
I doubt it, I haven't done much SEO on our website I have a menswear shop in Huddersfield (the home of the worlds finest cloth - even today!) its called Laurie Hopkins Menswear (Laurie being my father). Special offer to DP members - 10% discount on all shop sales when you mention this thread
I must admit, subtle stripes are good because from a distance people assume you have a plain suit on, its only when they get up close and talk to you that they appreciate the beauty in the cloth. Good call
