What do you consider to be the essentials to perfecting your outfit when you're wearing a suit? And then, what brands do you think are the best for that particular product?

I assume you could also mention an ideal brand for the suit itself, but I'm mainly looking for the accessories such as the tie, dress shirt, tie bar, etc.

Ok, so now take each of these and use the search function to find out everyone's opinion of each of them. That should tell you all you need to know.
