Hi, I'm a 16 year old high school senior in New York City.
Today I received a letter stating that my high school yearbook portraits are going to be taken next week and I need to wear a suit. The problem is that I don't have one and all my relatives and friends wear different sizes than I do. I was planning on purchasing a suit but was in no rush because I didn't think the pictures were going to be taken so soon. Guys, please help me by giving me some tips on finding a suit.
My jacket size is 36R and I have a 31" waist. I was thinking about going with a navy blue single-breasted suit, black shoes and black belt, light blue and white vertical striped shirt with white collar and cuffs, blue and purple striped tie, and a white pocket square. Would this work well?
I would really prefer to spend less than $700 on the suit, as I need to buy a tie also. I have the rest of the stuff already. Any recommendations on stores to check out to find something in my price range? Hugo Boss is all I could really find for me from the little bit of looking around I did recently. I know Hugo Boss suits are overpriced for what they are and Canali are great for the money when on sale but right now I just need something decent and I need it SOON. I don't think a fused jacket will matter to me, as I will only be wearing this suit a few times in the next couple of years. By the time I need to wear nice suits, I will have the money to buy some better ones. So, the important factors for me are the style and fit. What labels should I look for and what stores can I find them in? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Peter
