Hi Everyone,
I need some advice on purchasing my first suit. I apologize in advance for my being a noob, I've been doing a bit of research but really know almost nothing about suits.
I'm thin and short and have had a really hard time finding any suits, I also hate everything and everyone at Mens Wearhouse, no luck at all there.
I really want a suit that fits me well, not quite tight but close, so I've been looking into getting something made to measure via the internet. I found mysuitshop.com which is based out of Thailand and seems to have really good prices and a huge amount of choises. Question #1 - has anyone here ever used them and if so what did you think? Anyone have other suggestions for online suits? I'm looking at sub-$500 w/shipping and I'm not in a rush.
Next: What types of suits look best on someone who is thin and short? I'm inclined toward something that is not loose at all, and I think I generally like an english cut suit best. I also kind of like the look of a 3-piece suit, but I think that maybe only old people or Brits wear them? I'm neither.
Please note that this is NOT for work, I'd get laughed at if I showed up to work in a suit. I'm looking for something that is stylish that can be worn out to nice clubs and to weddings. It would be cool if I had a suit that could work for a business setting (like maybe a future interview), but it's not hugely pressing. I'm looking for something black too, although maybe that's a fashion faux pas? (I read something somewhere about how black suits are garish).
Thanks in advance!
