Whenever envisioning a well groomed man a tailored suit is involved but unfortunately, we also envision an old school style that implies perhaps the suit was passed down from a father to his son. This look is almost never flattering for a young man and thus this look takes a screeching holt as it’s dreaded by many men of certain cultures who don’t know better.
Suits were created in England in the 17th century and were the inessential go-to for formal events and office attire, but like a moth to a flame in the 20th century suits became wearable for so much more! Now, suits are reformed to reflect a fresher, form fitting editorial look….
The key to a fresh, sophisticated and sexy image is find suits to fit your body type. Suits should fit to size as if they are perfectly tailored to you height and weight.
Stores such as TopMen, Zara, Brooks Brothers & Tom Ford cater to pre-tailored suits. Alterations may be needed here and there but become familiar with which changes you need. The length of your pants and blazer sleeves should be no higher than an inch or so shorter than your ankles and wrists, for example.
The mix & match of colors, textures & patterns help create multipurpose ensembles that encourage tailored and sophisticated yet edgy and fresh looks. Be the man who can interchange his look yet stay true to his style and all the while being the man of style interest everywhere he goes.
A well dressed man is an unforgettable one.

The Burnt Orange/Rust colored suit. Do you know the brand and/or where i could find this suit??
Yes that was apart of Tom Fords 2013 campaign. Also Brooks Brothers did a similar rendition of this suit for a more affordable purchase, Which is located in south coast plaza and online if you’re not located in LA.
The Burnt Orange Suit. Do you know what type of material is this suit
Im not exactly sure of the material but based on my knowledge of fabrics it could possibly be polyester or another fabric blended with silk. I hope this helps!
