There are three key elements that go into choosing the Best Men’s Suits: price, style and quality. Choosing the right suit presents a closet-full of challenges and opportunities to those faced with building a wardrobe. From suit silhouettes, pricing and fashionable obsolescence to pant fronts, button counts and lapel widths, there’s much to consider.
Suits can be broken down into three basic styles: European (i.e., Italian), British and American. Many designers cross cultural lines, such as Bronx native Ralph Lauren.For tailoring options, the bespoke suit is the finest. Bespoke suits are created by highly skilled tailors and artisans to fit your every inch. They may take up to five fittings and six weeks of work to complete, and starting prices run upwards of $3,000.
Off-the-rack suits are the least costly and the most convenient option, provided you’re happy with the fabric and fit. But these days many suit makers also offer a “made-to-measure” alternative that allows customers to choose the fabric, styling options and details before allowing a tailor to take measurements and forward the order to the factory. A semi-finished suit is then returned to the store for fitting and finishing.
The old saw “clothes maketh the man” is as much of a truism as ever. Today, as always, a well-made suit is not just a crucial business accessory; it also sends a subtle message that distinguishes the wearer as a person of discretion, taste and, in many cases, as someone with many zeroes in his annual bonus package.
For some people, suits are back. For some people–particularly in the boardrooms and corner offices of the biggest companies–they never went away.What suits don’t do to the same extent they once did is reveal the wearer’s background. In our sartorially egalitarian age, one doesn’t need to be a blue blood or an Ivy grad to occupy the corner office or know the name of the best tailors. The result is that suits have become less a uniform than an expression of individual style. If you’re conservative in outlook, the odds are you will dress that way too. Like to be a bit more flashy? Most likely, so are your clothes.
What has also changed is the way men buy suits and the occasions to which they wear them. Around the turn of the last century, men of all backgrounds and careers wore ties and a suit pretty much everywhere. These days men are more selective about when and where to dress up or dress down. A board meeting? Wear a suit. A business lunch? Ditto. A corporate retreat in Tahoe? Not if you don’t want to look like the hotel manager.
Suits are also becoming hip. Design houses like Gucci, Prada, Yves Saint-Laurent and others are coming out with suits that are definitely more appropriate for nightclubs than the boardroom. The idea is to appeal to younger customers who rebel at the thought of wearing a necktie, let alone a day job, but still have the money to spend on a $1,500 suit.

The Rules of Summer Dressing in a Business Environment:
1. Focus on professional: Resist the urge to wear clothing that shows bare skin. Low necklines, short skirts, sleeveless tops, sheer tops, bare legs are great for summer weather but are more fitting for barbecues and nightclubs than a day at work. When choose our clothing we are also choosing an image to project. If your intention is to move up in the business world keep your business clothes professional.
2. Wear lightweight clothing: You can still stay cool and not show skin. Choose fabrics that are lightweight such as cotton and linen. For example wear a cotton jacket over a lightweight blouse or wear a sweater set. If it gets too hot you can remove the jacket and still be covered underneath. If you work in an air-conditioned environment you will appreciate the added layer while you are inside and the option of removing it when you move into the heat.
3. Choose the proper footwear: Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean that sandals can be worn everywhere. Sandals are not appropriate in a professional setting. Wear only closed shoes such as pumps and sling backs.
4. Stay away from clothing that spells “summer”: That means bright jewelry, cropped pants or skorts. Summer clothing can be worn in a professional environment but ever so subtlety. Wear lighter colored accessories and clothing but nothing that brings attention. For example, choose a pastel blouse or light colored professional handbag.
5. Wear loose clothing: Choose to wear skirts and pants in a light fabric so that the fabric glides over your hips and tummy. White is great for summer but will show every bump and lump if worn too tightly.

Choosing appropriate clothing for the business environment can be challenging at the best of times.

It becomes even more of a challenge when we leave home in sweltering heat and then move into an air conditioned work environment. How do we dress? What should we wear?
Knowing how to dress for the summer heat and still remain comfortable and professional has the potential to boost your professional image and maybe even move you up a notch or two.

How to wear a Polo:
1. With a blazer: wear a fitted polo shirt, tucked-in, collar down and tucked under the lapel.
2. With chinos or jeans: untucked, bold colors, collar down.
3. With shorts: try a light knit v-neck sweater, madras shorts (you’ll look like an arse, but so what? It’s summer.)
The Rules:
1. Never “pop” your collar.
2. Never tuck in your men’s polo shirts with jeans or chinos. That said, tuck in if your shirt if it is longer than your hips.
3. Experiment with bright colors or patterns with jeans or chinos.
4. Fitted. Always fitted.
5. No prints. Where did this fad come from? A small polo player or crocodile is all the flash you need.
6. Two words: Boat shoes or Stan Smiths. Unless you’re wearing a blazer. Then consider bucks.

And it’s a must-have piece of apparel for any style man’s closet. If worn correctly.

On the field, players do indeed wear cheap polo shirts, which are more refined than a T-shirt yet have a short, turned-over collar that stays out of the way. Designer Lauren began using the player-and-pony logo in 1971 and it has since become synonymous with his brand.
A three-button polo shirt, crisp white jeans and driving moccasins would be a chic outfit for a female spectator, says Avril Graham, executive fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar. She also suggests a tasteful sundress paired with ballet flats.
Anything too trendy or revealing looks out of place, says polo fan Graham, and the biggest “don’t” of all is high heels, since everyone heads out to the field at halftime for the divot stomp to flatten all the upturned patches of dirt. “There’s nothing worse than finding you’re sinking into the grass.”
The polo shirts for sale sidelines should feature “a practised look of effortless, elegant dressing, low-key sophistication and really good taste,” Graham says.
