12 Oct Five reasons to tailor your suit

There is a notion that says “one size fits all” – however, this could not be further from the truth for most people, particularly when it comes to purchasing a suit.  Simply buying a suit from a store in your size range does not do you, or the suit, justice.  There is only one way to look ones best and that is to get your suit tailor made.

Here are seven reasons for you to have your suit tailor-made.

• Presentation establishes a perception of you

Wearing a suit that does not fit your body properly, can give the idea that you either lack style or that you do not care what you look like.  To prevent this idea from forming, it is better to have your suit made especially for you.

The exact measurements of your body will be taken, and your suit will be altered so that it fits you like a glove, drawing attention to all your best features.

• Your comfort is important

A serious annoyance in your life can be having a piece of ill-fitted clothing.  Think about tight waistbands, button popping open unexpectedly, and, perhaps the worst of all, clothes that rip because they are too tight.

The simplest way to combat this problem is to get your suit tailored.  When fitting your suit, ensure that you move around, walk around, stretch and sit in your suit before you leave the tailor.  This guarantees that every inch of your suit works for your body.

• A good investment

A proper suit is not only a stylish item of clothing to own, it is an investment piece – and you certainly want to get your money’s worth for it.  This means that the cost for each time you wear the item will increase.  Since you are tailoring a suit for yourself, your suit will have longevity and you will be able to wear it more often.

Something to keep in mind when you have a suit tailor-made, is that the short-term cost will be outweighed by the long-term benefit.  The money that you will save by not having to replace cheaply made suit, is definitely worth it!

• Give yourself a boost in confidence

In all honesty, clothes that do not fit you well does not only look bad, it also makes your feel as though you are less than your best.  You are able to rid yourself of buyers’ remorse, as well as boost your own confidence, by getting your suit tailored.

If you look good, you feel good, and a suit that fits you will make you feel like a brand-new person.

• Potential advancements in your career.

When searching for a career advancement, looking the part is half the battle. Nobody wants to advance someone in their career if they do not care what they look like and do not put any effort into their appearance.  One guaranteed way to look the part is to invest in a tailored suit.

Having a tailored suit is also a way of saving time when you do not necessarily have the best fashion sense.

Let the professionals help you, that is what they are here for, after all!
