How to make your $200 suit look like $1,000?

1. You don't want baggy sleeves.
    Have them narrowed.
2. Take up the sleeves slightly so
    they hit right at the break of
    your wrist.
3. The jacket's too boxy if the
    sides hang straight down from
    your shoulders. Take it in at
    the torso so it hugs you clousely.
4. You want a narrow leg that falls
    straight down to your shoes.
    Take in the leg so there's no extra
    material, and shorten the pants so
    there's no break. That means the
    hem just barely touches the tops
    of your shoes.


Three Stores that have great suits for $200. Topman, Uniqlo, H&M.
Tip: Find yourself a great tailor. No one will help you get more value out of the clothes you just bought or already own. To find the best one in your neighborhood, get recommendations. Ask a couple of guys whose style you admire, and once you find the right tailor, learn to manage him. Do not let him tell you how much of break you want in your trousers. You're the boss.
