17 March 2023Your Guide To Buying A Suit
1. Occasion
First step to buying a suit is to identify what the occasion is that you are buying for. This could determine many factors such as colour choice, style, fit or how you accessorise the suit.
Whether it is a wedding (guest or groom), a job interview, a date or anything in between, we have you covered.
2. Colour
You’ve got the occasion, now to decide what colour you are after.
The more traditional & timeless option is to go with a navy blue, grey or a black suit, something guaranteed to stay in fashion. This is a good option for workwear, or more formal occasions such as a wedding.
If you want something a bit less traditional, you could opt for something bolder such as a trend colour.
3. Finding Your Fit & Buying Your Suit
Next step is working out which fit is best for you. At Connor we offer 3 fits in our suiting: skinny, slim & classic. Find our fit guide here.
ONLINE
Buying something like a suit online can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. If you aren’t sure of your measurements or sizing, we have a guide on how to measure to find that out:
1. Measure straight across back between edge of each sleeve
2. Measure around the chest at the fullest part with your arms down, keeping the tape measure slightly loose
3. Measure from where the collar meets the body to the bottom hem
1. Measure around your natural waist keeping the tape measure slightly loose
2. Measure 3 inches down from the crotch around the leg, keeping the tape measure slightly loose.
3. Measure from the crotch to where your trouser is usually worn on the shoe
