Tailored suits for special occasions
There was a time-and we are not even talking centuries, buta few decades-when clothes were all made to measure. The prét à porter did not exist, and those who could not afford a tailor, often the preserve only of the wealthier classes, made do at home; it was not for nothing that even in our grandparents’ generation women all knew how to sew, some more, some less.
For years then the tailored suit was put aside, considered too expensive for everyday wear, but today things are changing. There is greater attention to the finish of the clothes one wears, having abandoned the idea of quantity in favor of quality. An attitude that also respects sustainability, one of the duties to which p called the fashion world: fewer clothes to sell and buy, with a longer life cycle, so as to decrease the volume of waste produced by man and the amount of material to be used.
It is therefore increasingly common to see people approaching custom-made clothing, often for some special occasion, but with the knowledge that they are making a lasting investment for the benefit of themselves and the environment.
The quintessential occasion: marriage
Needless to hide it: the most common occasion for which a man turns to a tailor is a wedding. One’s own usually, but people often choose to wear a tailored suit even if you are the best man of wedding. In any case, the first thing to do is to choose the style of the task you want to wear, and then move on to fabrics and colors. Of course, be guided by the tailor who will make the dress: he will surely know how to show you the best cut for your physique.
Beware of a not insignificant element: the shirt. It often happens that you get your pants and jacket tailored but then decide to wear a ready-made shirt, perhaps from a brand you already know and whose fit you are sure of. Yet it is a shame to agree in this way. There is to consider that the very shirt is the garment most easily reusable even on other occasions of use: isn’t it then worthwhile to have it made directly by the hands of the tailor as well? You will have a valuable garment that you can wear very often.
Special recognition
A large part of our lives, precisely understood as the number of hours, is occupied by work; therefore, it should happen to everyone to perform rewarding tasks. Perhaps this is not always the case, but there is someone more fortunate who happens to receive an award, a recognition, an important gratification, perhaps during a corporate event. Is this not the time for a tailored suit? Do not belittle what is happening by thinking that it is only a few hours: the whole existence is made up of individual hours that follow one another. If there is an event that you are involved in, it means you deserve to be there, so act accordingly.
A tailored suit will give you the elegance and sense of confidence that will help you meet the expectations of those around you. And in case you are not used to putting on formal attire, a tailored suit will help: by perfectly responding to your physicality, it will allow you to feel comfortable even in front of an audience, large or small.
A job interview
Perhaps it may seem exaggerated to have a tailor-made suit made to show up for job interviews, but it also all depends on the position you aspire to. Certainly for a first-time guy looking for any occupation to supplement his income, the suit is not needed But amanager in a prominent position who is trying to make a career out of changing companies must use all the weapons at his disposal; among them, presenting yourself impeccably. The same goes if you are a freelancer, perhaps a lawyer or an accountant, and you are trying to take on an important client: make sure that your clothes are si invoice equal to-or better than-those of the client, it will immediately be a point in your favor.
A tailored suit will give youthat self-confidence and poise that can really make a difference, at least at first glance. Then you will have to do the rest, but the dress will have given you all the support it can.
