I’m at the point in my life now where I need to start buying some suits, which I have no idea how to do so I’ve turned to Reddit to ask for brands or advice. I’ll be attending a funeral of a family member in about a month and am looking more specifically for a black suit. I’ve been looking at suits and advice columns on the internet, but all I’m finding are super traditional and frankly boring suits. While these suits do merit praise for their minimalistic simplicity, to me, they lack character. But when I try to go in the opposite direction I’m met with overly bold, tacky, or cheap looking options. While I like to show my style and express myself, I don’t want to be peacocking around like an idiot, especially at a funeral. I’m trying to find suits that have character and have a good silhouette, that don’t make me look like an idiot who wants all the attention.
I like the look of some 40s-50s suits but usually their suit jackets are gigantic. I’m a pretty slender guy and I’ll probably be wearing a black peacoat which will give me more than enough bulk. I also don’t want it to be too slim since I do like the larger trousers. Something I definitely like is the well known picture of Ysl at Christian Dior’s funeral. Although I do, again, prefer larger trousers.
Does anyone have any advice on, brands, styles to look at, maybe things to tell a tailor, accessories to stylize (shoes, ties, watches, cufflinks, etc.), or just suit/suit buying advice in general? Thanks.
