Fashion Tips 101

Why Men Wear Suits

• Because first impressions matter.


• Because a suit hides a multitude of physical flaws, and despite your dedication and rededication, you don’t have Lance Armstrong’s waistline.


• Because it’s time-consuming to match sportcoat, trousers and tie everyday.


• Because men don’t carry purses…but they do carry cell phones, wallets, hand-held organizers and keys.


• Because women notice. Because there’s a time for dressing well: the office, social dinners, and significant rites of passage.


• Because khakis wrinkle, wool of any weight breathes and recovers; and even if you’re a complete slob, you almost never have to dry-clean a suit.  
• Because you should always dress better than you have to.


• There’s a reason why the words “power” and “suit” go together. Square shoulders, fine fabrics, the lines and lapels of a suit are designed to enhance stature.


• Because when you wear a suit to work, it makes the jeans and khakis feel that much better on the weekend.


• A great suit is a very good investment. If you pick a classic model, there’s no reason it shouldn’t still be looking great four or five years later.
