Have a ready-to-wear suit altered
Most men that buy suits don't have them altered, but for £50-£100 you can make the suit look twice as


2. Button your jacket
There's no point having a suit that fits if you don't button it up. When you're standing, it should be buttoned. Always the waist button (top on a two-button suit, middle on a three-button), never the bottom



3. Made to measure and bespoke is worth the money
In the UK you may find that a ready-to-wear suit costs around £400, made to measure is £600 and bespoke over £1000. Each one is worth that money in terms of how it will fit, aside from questions of quality or longevity.


the above suit was done in a saville row tailor and cost two grand, we can only wonder why someone would want to spend that money on on one of the dullest office suit results possible.I mean everyone to their own style but if you are spending huge amounts of money why would you get something that resmbles a good off the peg m and s suit, you'd try and go for a bit of "jazz" wouldn't you?

this on the other hand is anything but office.
4. Spend money on shoes
Whenever you see someone in a nice suit, the next thing you do is look down. And their shoes nearly always disappoint. Too many sharp suits are worn with sharp (read pointy) shoes.


the only thing that this guy is wearing that makes the whole look stand out is the shoe, the rest is a bit normal in my opinion.
on shoes. It is. Spend at least half the money you're spending on your suit on a good pair of shoes. A bespoke suit deserves Edward Green, not Barker but Barker Herring and Loake have really good shoes, check out the Herring website.

5. Have some colour, somewhere
If you don't like ties, that's fine. But for god's sake find a way to wear some colour somewhere else. A pocket handkerchief, a cardigan, anything. There's nothing more depressing that seeing a group of young men

in my opinion nothing is worse than maroon paired with b lack. maroon is to be avoided always in trousers along with bottle green, it .another silly thing here is the narrowness of the trousers which creates a kind of norman wisdom look making the shoes look like fins.

This Italian has a nice suit, he's got it right, if he needed a tie he could just slip one on, maybe a slim Prince of Wales in grey.Hes cool , simple and has flair unlike the great shoe maker above whose maroon trousers look in my opinion fussy and strange.
Outside a pub where everyone is wearing a dark suit, a blue shirt and plain shoes. You all look the same and you all look dull. Find another way to introduce colour or, reconsider the tie. There are few enough

excuses for a man to wear coloured silk around his neck without fear of ostracism. Take advantage of it.
