zen Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 In the $1k-$2k range, I discovered Munro of Amsterdam recently .... the quality is acceptable (maybe better than Hugo Boss and likes), while the style is good https://ateliermunro.com/StyleDetails/3471/Style MS0224 https://www.harryrosen.com/en/clothing/tailored-clothing/suits/atelier-munro/slim-fit-suit/p/20040063 Vilander 1 Link to comment

Not sure how much your weight has shifted, but it could be an option maniac 1 Link to comment
cric_fan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Stick with the 90s kiddo, you know back when Pakistan actually had a decent cricket team. So you also where ridiculous short trousers with pink socks? ‘Kiddo’? Probably older than you..kiddo Link to comment

Probably older than you..kiddo Ok Buddhey, no wonder obvious ho-hum clothing trends that are a decade old seem "new" to you. You can wear zoot suits for all I care. Or those pajamas with a coat that Mr. Choka Pan Masala is sporting. Yawn. Link to comment
zen Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If you have to invest, invest in accessories first. Clothes fitting can change while accessories can last relatively longer. Get a pair of good shoes and matching belt. Depending upon the color of your shoes, you could design your wardrobe For e.g. if you like brown shoes, you automatically cancel out black suit/pants and vice versa. Unless you are confident enough to pull it off Safe colours are navy/royal blue and dark grey. May look boring but you can wear a variety of colours with them. For sports jacket, besides these two green (a good shade) and Maroon go well too Shirts can be light blue and white. Tie can be any color you like. Usually, socks should match your shoes or pants. Some folks match socks with shirt or tie as well A big mistake many folks make is pick up clothes and accessories randomly. While the items may look good in isolation, putting them together can turn into an eyesore Think of your wardrobe from a strategic perspective where each items align with your chosen color palette Link to comment
