Suit Yourself

Choosing a corporate business suit should be done carefully and with consideration of how you want to be perceived. What we wear determines the first impression that people have of us so when it comes to business, it is especially important to be viewed in a certain way.

When wearing a single breasted suit jacket – which is a jacket with one line of buttons – it should always be buttoned up fully for formal occasions. For a more relaxed look, just do up the middle button. Double breasted suit jackets – with two rows of buttons – should always, as a general rule, be buttoned up fully.

For a top quality suit that fits to your body perfectly it is a good idea to invest in a tailor made suit. However, if you do buy a suit off the rack, then ideally buy it from a shop that specialises in suits. The buying of suits should not be an area of frugality.
