Hi All,
I have been allured by the Brooks Brothers sale and the nicely discounted 1818 suits. After spending at least an hour at the store today, found this certain suit to be appealing. As in I was pleased with the fit and styling, but not so sure about its application to me. I will say though that it looked good on me, and I do love the look of a navy pinstripe.
I am 18, and this would be my first suit purchase. I currently have a hand me down light grey glenplaid suit, which fits well. Other than that, it's just a navy blazer and a brown sport coat.
Ideas I want to bounce around:
Honestly, how versatile is this suit? The saleslady convinced me it was very versatile, but that is her job. Are the stripes too pretentious or fancy for a younger person?
Versatility of bead stripes... can this also be a "social suit", fine for weddings, funerals, etc.
Basically, I'm just seeking your opinions as to whether this would be a wise allocation of my money set aside for my wardrobe. (I got $500 for graduation from my parents.)
Thanks,
Ryan
