    Considering using an in-house personal shopper/stylist in NY

    Thanks for the responses! I think I'm going to give it a try. I won't get my whole wardrobe at one place, but maybe I can pick up a couple outfits at each one and make some progress. And I would think the styles and products at some of the bigger places would have enough variety that it...

    Considering using an in-house personal shopper/stylist in NY

    I'm in my late 20s living in NYC. I'm making a very healthy amount of money, but I'm also incredibly busy between work and a wonderful wife and one year old son. I've attempted to learn how to dress well by using this forum for a while and I think my only success was the suit I got for my...

    Cufflinks / studs for wedding suit?

    Thanks for the input everyone. This has been helpful in my decision, which has been solidified as silver cufflinks and no studs. Thanks again.

    Cufflinks / studs for wedding suit?

    I have a wedding (mine) coming up and I'm wearing a tailored two-piece navy suit with a light gold/champagne tie at the brides request. It may not match some style standards on here, but it makes her happy and does look very nice. I'm wearing french cuffs to dress it up, and so need some cuff...

    Help with clothing for my wedding

    Not to keep reviving this thread, but what about just a 2-piece suit instead of the 3-piece for my wedding? After trying some on, I'm not sure a vest looks great on me. It could be that I just haven't found the right one yet, or need to get it tailored to me before I like it. I've found a nice...

    Help with clothing for my wedding

    I think you have a valid point, but as the bride is not going formal a dressed-up suit is a good match. If he were to wear a blue blazer with gold buttons, cream pants and a repp tie I would be concerned. Hmm, I'm not sure whether or not I described the bride's dress accurately since all I said...

    Help with clothing for my wedding

    I agree. LRMD's suit is great! If I can pull off something that looks like that, I'll be happy.

    Help with clothing for my wedding

    Thanks for all of the replies, this is helpful although I'm still undecided about tuxedo vs black (or midnight blue) suit vs solid dark (navy or charcoal grey) suit. I'm worried that a non-black suit will not look formal enough next to my bride, but I think I'm going to talk to the tailor and...

    Help with clothing for my wedding

    Thanks for the reply. I have no intention of blindly following my planner, but I figured it was worth considering her opinion of what might look good. I am American, and the wedding is being held in the southeastern United States in a fairly modern space on the top floor of a building in a city.

    Help with clothing for my wedding

    I am having a wedding in late November with the indoor ceremony starting at 6pm and a reception following. From what I understand, about 5:30pm will be sunset time on that day (with dusk ending just before 6pm), so it would be an evening ceremony. The bride will be wearing a very nice dress (but...
