Its a great article. I googled it on the forum and did not see anyone post it (atleast the title).

Do share your thoughts on these SUIT recommendations.

I like the transformation between slides 8 and 9.

I think I can pull off suit in slide 25.

good stuff, on a side note. I went to the mall today, trends are definitely shifting to this kind of dress. I went to H+M last time i went it was mostly urban styled. This time it was all slacks, sports coats and nice button down shirts. I'm definitely going to have to go back.

I'm thinking about buying something off the rack and have it tailored, anybody knows how much that costs in the States (Phoenix AZ to be exact)?

Suit 18 and 19.

I think I should invest in something like that. Fits my style perfectly.

Great tips overall.

Slide 2 is great, love the look. not try hard, classic and yet edgy enough.

10, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24 - way too trendy and try hard. A suit should be classic and timeless, not something that changes every season. Plus, the ultra skinny look only works on ultra skinny guys, and even them would benefit from a classic, tapered cut more.

16 & kobe's suit are also great, and the last one is smart, but not for everyone.

I was about to make a thread on this, but looks like we already have one. This seems very helpful. The GQ site has all the answer you need for dressing up.

Nice find, there's a lot of good info in that spread.

I recently went suit shopping and took a really good look at everything on the market.

I ended up buying a slim fit gray hugo boss suit for about 650 (on sale) and a black 3 piece suit at Zara for about 350.

For the money Zara cannot be beaten if you're thin. Their suit jacket fits me so well it's hard to believe it cost only 160 bucks (you can buy the suit components at zara separately).

I would like to throw in another article

I have a lot of issues finding nicer clothing that fits my frame because my wider set shoulders and chest with a normal sized waist. What would be some good brands or stores to look for that makes clothing for the built/bodybuilder sort of guys?

Are we talking about suits? If yes, I would go the MTM way. It doesn't need to be more expensive than a good suit of the rack.

Where are you normally based?
