The Perfect Fit

When it comes your own personal style, make sure you don’t look like you stepped out of the closet in your father’s suit.

A recent Men’s Fitness article talked about Mad Men’s Jon Hamm. Here are some key points from award-winning designer Janie Bryant that might help your own personal style.

Don’t be a slob. Always opt for shirts and pants with flattering lines that contour the body. This will make you look leaner.

Pay attention to detail. Accessories are key to pulling off your own style. Hats, tie bars, pocket squares and watches provide a way for men who wear suits everyday to show originality. One must-have accessory is a slick pair of cuff links.

Embrace color. Mixing different colors into your wardrobe is always a good idea.

Get your swagger on. Once you got the clothes, you need to get the attitude to portray your confidence in what you are wearing.

Get a custom fit. Find a good tailor. Most men buy their suits and shirts way too big. Something that is made especially for you can make all the difference in the world.

So what does it mean for you to have the perfect fit?
