How to Buy a Man's Business Suit

Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Gabriela Garzon and I'm an image consultant with G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting in Coral Gables, Florida. In this clip we are going to talk about how to buy a men's business suit. The first thing that I recommend before you actually buy a business suit is if it is your first business suit you should try a dark navy blue with pin stripes. This is a very conservative look and if it is going to be the first one it is going to work for anything that you do for interviews, for work, for meetings. You could even put it into casual. So this is going to be great no matter what your coloring is and no matter what your shape or size is, that is what we are going to talk about now. So when you go and buy a business suit if it is not going to be hand made precisely to you and if it is off the rack this is what you have to look into. You have to look at the stitchings of the shoulders. You have to see that everything is running smooth in both sides, you check both sides, then you have to check on the lapel that the stripes go the same way that the lapel is going just like here and here, that the stitches don't show and the other thing that we can also look into is that you will be safe if you buy two button business suit, jacket, just right now it is too complicated to buy the ones that are two breasted so you just go ahead and buy the ones with the two buttons in the front. The other thing that you have to look into is the back. This is the best way to wear a suit when you have double vests you can move easily. It doesn't matter what type of size you have or anything it is just much better to have this instead of the one. The last thing that you have to look into is the pants. It is best and safer if you go without the cuffs. Once again this is Gabriela Garzon at Coral Gables Miami."
