Tips for Custom Looking Ready to Wear Suits

Buy the suit you want as long as it’s a little loose here and there. One size larger is OK, but don’t buy a suit that’s two sizes too big. Definitely don’t buy a suit that is shorter or smaller. Hemming slacks and jacket sleeves are only the beginning. Your tailor or seamstress may be able to take in the waist of the jacket for a more form-fitting look, create cuffs in too-long slacks and a host of other ideas to make the suit compliment your style and make you more comfortable.

When you make an appointment with a tailor or seamstress, you’ll want to choose a date when you’ll have ample time try on the suit(s) and discuss the alterations that will give your suit that custom made look.
