What to Look for When Buying a Suit
When shopping for a suit, keep these essentials in mind:
- Fabric: Choose wool or wool-blend fabrics from top mills like Loro Piana, Drago, Vitale Barberis Canonico, Carlo Barbera, and Guabello for year-round comfort.
- Construction: A full canvas beats fused every time—better drape, longer life.
- Fit: A proper fit should allow movement without pulling or gaping. Look for high armholes and soft shoulders for a modern silhouette.
- Versatility: Start with navy and charcoal—the most versatile options for business and formal occasions.
