Hello,
I'm a senior in high school and I've been reading around the message boards for a while but have never posted anything, but today I finally have my own question.
I was just admitted to two colleges (and hopefully will be admitted to more as a grow closer to making a decision about where to go) and as a reward for what I think is a notable part of my life, I would like to buy myself a great first suit. Now, of course I've had suits before, but they weren't great suits because for most of my life I've been growing and what 14 year-old needs a really nice suit? But now that I'm done growing, and I am anr adult, I feel like its time to have a nice suit, and I feel it's important that I get it for myself.
So, where to start? I think I would most like a blue suit. I have a gray suit. It still fits, and decently well. Anyway, I've always thought that dark blue suits are the best looking.
My jacket size is about a 42L. On the money front, I can't spend a ton of money, but I have a job and make decent money for a teenager and this is something important to me so I'm willing to slap down a few paychecks for it. I suppose the obstacle is not a price, but my discipline not to "accidentally" spend some of the money while I'm saving up for the suit.
What brands should I look at? What should I avoid? Did anyone have a similar situation? What was your own first suit (does thinking about your first suit bring back memories)?
All help is appreciated and I know from other posts that I can get good advice here. Oh and I can answer any questions that might help you all make better answers for me.
Thanks
