Buying A Suit For The New Buyer
Buying a suit can be a costly experience for the first time buyer. Spending thousands of dollars on suits, ties, dress shirts, and shoes is just not an option for everyone. Generally speaking the first time a man buys a suit he is either gearing up for his first professional job or worst yet, in college.
Throughout my years I have bought and sold many suits. The knowledge I acquired doing this will help even the most frugal purchasers make a sound purchase.
The first option one might want to consider is buying second hand clothing. Thrift stores, consignment shops, and estate sales were once the only place a person could buy used clothing. However, the creation of ebay has opened up the used buying and selling arena and has made buying high quality used goods extremely easy.
Used clothing is economical and my number one choice for saving money. Having said this I do realize that not everyone is comfortable wearing clothes that have previously been worn. Also another drawback is the lack of a return policy on many used purchases.
The second option is to buy high quality suits that have not been discovered by the masses yet. Suits like Pronto Uomo, Steve Harvey, Mantoni, Perry Ellis, and Sean John are all fashionable and durable but lack the high price tag you would expect. Look to pay less than $500 for each of these suit brands.
The major disadvantage to this option is that your budget will not have much room for accessories after your suit purchase. You will not be able to buy as many suits or shirts as you would have if you saved more money on the suit.
The Final option is to buy department suit quality suits in bulk. Many of these types of suits can be bought at prices of $400 for two full suits. This option is great for the buyer that must wear suits on a daily basis.
However, this option allow you to buy more expensive shirts, ties, and shoes to really make you stand out. You will also be able to diversify your wardrobe more by mixing and matching your suit pants and jackets on casual fridays.
I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Use the information you learned today to make the most out of your money and you’ll be looking your best in no time.
