Have you ever landed in a situation where you notice something completely ridiculous but you're not supposed to pass any comment because of the occasion? Well, I happened to attend a wedding recently and there I met an old friend of mine. He was wearing an ill-fitting suit to the point of ridiculousness. There I told myself that I would write a guide about choosing a well-tailored suit that will not make you look like you have borrowed it from someone!

When you decide to go for a tailored suit over an off-the-rack one, you should consider the following steps in the given sequence: 

First Things First: What Is The Occasion?

Before jumping on the tailored suit selection, you should first be sure about the occasion you are going to wear it. Are you wearing it on a formal occasion or an informal one? This step is important as it is going to decide which colour you are going to choose for your suit. 

Finding The Best Tailor In The Town: A Daunting Yet Essential Task

Once you are sure about the occasion, your next step should be finding the best tailor in town. For this, asking your relatives and friends is the most feasible option. Online search is another option. It surely appears a daunting task but it is important as it will ultimately decide the final look of your suit. 

Dilemma Of Deciding Which Fabric Is Best: Weather-Friendly, Pocket-Friendly Or Both? 

While deciding the fabric for your suit, you should always consider weather conditions. For summer, your chosen fabric must be lightweight and breathable. For winter, your fabric must be warm and cozy. Considering your pocket before buying the fabric, is also mandatory. Always remember that the best fabric for your suit is the one which is weather-friendly and pocket-friendly at the same time.  

Finding The Best Style: Should Trends Be Followed Or Not? 

The next step is to find the best style for you which will not make you look like you are way behind in fashion sense or you are going ludicrously overboard. If I were to choose a style for my suit, I would blindly not follow the trends. I would rather go for my personal preference, given that trends change daily with unmatchable speed. 

Plain two-buttoned suits work as 2-in-1 as they can be worn at the office or weddings at the same time. When you are looking for a very formal wedding, tuxedos work as magic; they look so dapper.

An Impeccable Fit Is The Must!

The ultimate yet important thing which makes a good custom suit different from a ready-made one is the right fit. Your all efforts go down the drain if your fit for the suit is not perfect. To get an impeccable fit and hence not look like a homeless person while wearing your suit, you should coordinate well with your best-found tailor. 

Do not hesitate in providing proper measurements of your body to your tailor. Focus should especially be given to your shoulders, arms, chest and legs measurements to get a hug-like fitting of your suit. 

Confidence Is The Real Key: The Secret Ingredient For An Ultimate Dapper Look In A Custom-Made Suit 

Once you have followed all the steps to get you a well-tailored, self-preferred suit, do not forget to add the secret ingredient to it as well while wearing it: the ingredient of self-confidence. Your bespoke suit will stand out from the crowd if you wear it with pride. Be confident, walk confident, talk confident and there you are going to rock the occasion for sure!

Conclusion

In a nutshell, step by step following the aforementioned guide, you can undoubtedly get yourself the best well-tailored, custom-made suit. Easy peasy, right? So, what is stopping you from getting a made-to-wear suit? Go, get it and wear it with confidence!
