Talking You've already got the best advice- men's wearhouse

So my plan toady is to go suit shopping....

JC Penney will run you about 250 for the suit and two shirts and a tie.
class material and knowledgable people. In and out shopping.
if it's a business environment- the guys already said it: charcoal wool forever

I am a married gal, but the Ed Anderson family photo has me worried......

pssst! Never let the gay clerks measure you for pants..........

Thats for the tip on the pants measuring! I never came across a gay clerk, but if I did, I'm sure that wouldnt have crossed my mind until after he already started measuring...

Well I went to Mervyns, storing closing sale, and got a jacket and pants. Man I dont feel that big , Mental note: more time at the gym,
and a shirt for $117. I can reuse my other ties, since I have a suit the same colors as I got, hoping my shoes are still good. Didnt think of that until just now. Hmmmm.

Men's wherehouse is a good place to get a suit. They are nation wide, you can take your suit into any Mens Wherehouse, they will press it if needed, or make minor alterations for free. I have a couple of suits and a tux from them and am very satisfied.

Yes, don't forget about the shoes. If yours are run over at the heels, or the soles are about shot, get new ones! Make sure they are shined, and your socks go with the outfit, same for belt.
Have a recent haircut, and if you have a unibwor, and furry little ears like I have, get them trimmed. The first impression as you walk thru the door means a lot. Pop a breath mint before you go in. Then in your new suit, and looking sharp walk in with confidence. Go for it!
