Where to Start?

Although some men and some women don't enjoy shopping because they find it frustrating and exhausting. Shopping can be quiet easy. Your work closet does not have to consist of two floors and millions of pieces. The great thing about skirt suits and pant suits is they are easy to match with any dress shirt or blouse. The most important part is not that you have many suits but simply that you have one to three properly tailored suits.  

Key suit colours that you should have are: 

• Black (Number One!) 
• Gray 
• Navy 

Stores to find great suits for men: 

• Harry Rosen 
• Hugo Boss 
• Le Château 
• Tip Top Tailors 

Whether you are willing to spend a lot on a suit or whether you are trying to stay on a budget, you can find great stores with great quality suits to fit your needs.

Stores to find great suits for women: 

• Lord & Taylor 
• Nordstrom 
• Banana Republic 
• Le Château 

Ladies, there is no need to spend a lot on designer name suits.  If you would like to, by all means, DO IT! However, for us girls on a budget, remember quality is more important than the brand name.  

Quick Reminders: You will not be able to find a suit straight out of the store that does not need to be tailored in some way, shape, or form.  It is important not to get frustrated when something isn't fitting you properly, but instead remember that everything can be fixed.  The bottom of your pants can be hemmed, as well as your long sleeves! 

TIP: Another tip that I learned from my job experience.  If you find a great quality suit and you just can't justify the price, remember you want to take the price of the suit and divide it by the times you will be wearing it.  If you are purchasing the suit for your day-to-day wardrobe for work, it is worth the money to buy a suit that will last you a long time as well as fit you correctly.
