After Tailoring.
The Cut.
The Right (Comfortable) Fit.
The Right Color.
Start 2010 with a properly tailored suit. The right cut, color and fabric when matched with a crisp dress shirt, a traditional patterned or striped tied, conservative belt and well-shined dress shoes project an image that says all the right things about the candidate at any interview. Confident, world class resume in hand, the rest is up to you!
There are two acceptable cuts for men's suits. These are the traditional European cut which is a bit fitted and the classic American cut which is looser and more boxy. Both cuts are available today in two or three-button jackets (never wear one or four buttons). The American suit is usually more traditional looking. The European suit is more fitted and looks tailored. While I like and wear double breasted suits, they are not appropriate for interviews - even with law firms or the State Department.
The best fabric is year round weight 100% wool. In the dead of winter heavier wool is acceptable. Summer weight wool or even poplin (dressy cotton) can be work in late June, July and August. A very small percentage of polyester is acceptable for strength. The fabric should not shine or have a patterned texture.

The foot is a magnificent structure working intricately like a Swiss clock to help you stand and move. Your feet withstand a lot of stress and strain over a lifetime, but are well designed to cope with this. Over time, however, the feet gradually wear down, and extra care must be taken later in life to keep them healthy. This article will discuss how to take care of your feet to keep them at their very best and prevent future problems.Each foot contains skin, blood vessels, bones, tendons, muscles, ligaments and nerves. Each of these parts requires care and upkeep, as disease can affect how well they function. We will begin with discussing the skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body, and has an important role in the health of your feet. Skin is continuously regenerating over a lifetime to keep fresh, healthy tissue covering the body. As we age, our skin will gradually become dry and flaky. Sometimes this is just natural skin dryness, sometimes this is Athlete's foot or sometimes it is an allergic reaction.
The trousers must fit at the waist. Try them on with a dress belt. They also must fit at the seat. Try to sit in them unless you stand all day. They should not pull in the front. The length of the trousers is important. Dress shoes are necessary to get the proper fit. Running shoes or flip-flops are not to be worn when getting fitted for an interview suit. Some men prefer the trousers to just touch the top of the shoes with NO break (think of a dent in the front crease). This looks best with cuffs on the trousers. Some men like to have a slight break in the front of the trousers. This looks best with a plain hem and no cuffs. It is a matter of personal choice and style. Too big a break looks sloppy and says the suit is cheap or does not fit right.
The suit jacket should be tailored in several areas. The back should not have a bubble, wrinkle or hump. The collar (or "cape") and lapels should lie flat and not "wing out". The sleeves should EACH be measured from the tip of the thumb. Whether to show some cuff shows is a matter of personal taste. I prefer to show a little shirt cuff. Nothing else on the suit jacket should need to be tailored if it is the right size and cut.
For a man's jacket to fit properly in must be the right size and cut. Also, it must be tailored to adjust it in various places. Try on suit jackets until you find one that is comfortable in the back, chest and shoulders with the top (if two button) or middle (if three button) button closed. The fingers should be able to just curl under the hem (bottom) of the jacket if it is the right length. You MUST wear a dress shirt to try on a suit jacket. A polo or tee-shirt will not do. If the jacket fits properly in the chest, shoulders and back (look at the 3-way mirror in the dressing room), now try on the trousers.
You can even make your own, in colours to suit your taste
Milwaukee Brewers Hats The Corn on Your Foot_2033, a sarong or pareo is about 6 feet in length and the width is whatever you want it to be! If you want to you can wear them as a skirt with a favourite top, wear them as a dress, or even a jacket how versatile is that?!!If sarongs are not your thing then think about taking just some basic items that you can dress up or down with accessories, a shift dress (yes even though this is not a business trip) always works well because it can be dressed up or down as needed.As it's not a business trip take as few shoes as you can because they take up a lot of room, weigh a lot and most of the time on a beach trip you end up wearing your flip flops all the timeA string bag for the beach to take all your 'stuff' to and fro, your own water bottle to keep refilling, not forgetting a good book or whatever you take to the beach to do whilst you're not in the water or ordering another Mai Tai

In 2010, most men today hate wearing suits. There are two reasons for this. Many men grew up wearing jeans, t-shirts and running shoes. As such, any "dress" clothes seem uncomfortable to them. Secondly, men who wore "dress" clothes from time to time in their youth wore poorly constructed, poorly fitted suits, jackets and trousers made out of inexpensive materials. The perfect interview suit must fit right, be the correct color, the proper fabric and feel comfortable.
Trousers whether plain front or pleated front need to fit in the waist, crotch and the seat. The length will need to be tailored. If the pockets pull, the trousers are too small. If the pants droop much below the belly button, then the wait is too big. You need a dress belt and dress shoes to wear when trying on the suit trousers (not running shoes!). More on that below.
After the tailoring is complete, try on the entire suit with a dress shirt and shoes again. Make sure it has been pressed. Try on the jacket and trousers. Look at them in the 3-way mirror. Then take off the jacket and look at the trousers front and back. If you see any wrinkles, bags or pulls or if the sleeves or legs are uneven have the tailor mark it again and have the suit sent back for additional adjustments. When trying it on again, remember the dress shirt and shoes too.
There are two colors that are acceptable for men's suits: dark blue and gray. The blue is navy blue. Grays in dark (or charcoal) and medium are fine. Light gray is questionable for interviews. The suits can be solid, pin stripe or chalk stripe. Regardless, they should look classic and muted - not like those worn by race track enthusiasts or mob bosses.
