Second rule to think about when adjusting your style: Know thy tailor. This is your tailor, go ahead, say hello and give him a firm handshake. Heck, even give him a hug, because he is your new best friend. The importance of finding a good tailor cannot be understated. Since you are now comfortable with the importance of fit, here is the best way to achieve it. Because hey, let’s face it, very few of us can walk into a store and buy a shirt or pair of pants and have it fit perfectly right off the rack.
Short, ripped and portly fellas in particularly are going to need the tailor help. Example, most short guys will need to have not just their pants hemmed, but their shirt hems and sleeves as well. Men with well defined shoulders and arms and a slim waist will need to buy bigger shirts that will accommodate their arm width, but will then need to have the waist taken in on their shirts to fit their torso properly. Chubby guys of average height will need to buy bigger shirts to accommodate their waist, but will need to hem sleeve lengths and shirt hems.
As you may notice, your tailor is not just for your suits and dress clothes but for everything in your closet; jeans, casual shirts, khakis and shorts. A skilled tailor can work miracles in making everything fit perfectly for your individual body type and style.
Go ahead, be picky, find the right one who is willing to spend some time with you and you with him and don’t be afraid to date around until you find the right one. If you don't know where to find one, go to a website like Yelp and search for a tailor near your home or office and check out the reviews. Investing in this relationship will reward you with the riches of a lifetime of well fitting clothes.
