A man's clothes reveal his personality. Here are some tips on how
to dress well without investing on expensive clothing:
Suit: 
- While shopping for a suit, wear a dress shirt to ensure proper
fitting.
- Always set off a dark suit with a white shirt and a light tie
for a dramatic day to evening wear transition.
- A sports jacket should be long enough to cover your rear.
- The lapel of a suit should extend just a little less than the
halfway mark between the collar and the shoulder line.
- The signs of an ill-fitting suit include: wrinkles below the
collar; lapels spread or gap.
- Lapels should roll softly and lie flat against the chest.
- Flaps on a suit pocket should be consistent with the size of
the lapels and they should not draw attention to themselves.
- Trust the sales associate when it comes to the 'right' size
suit for your best fit.

- Look for ample fabric inside the pants so they can be
tailored if required.
- 100 percent wool is the 'best buy' for dress pants as
they are wrinkle resistant.
- Resist the urge to suck in your belly when you are being
fitted for pants.
- Look for dress pants that are lined.
- Pants should cover your socks and have a slight break
over the shoe.

Shirts:
- High quality shirts are made of 2-ply cotton.
- Dress shirts should be 100 percent cotton.
- Look for single stitched seams.
- For a good fit, when your top bottom is done up, you should
be able to comfortably insert two fingers between your neck and
collar.
- Tapered shirts are countered through the waist to emphasize
the shape of the body.
- Yes, you will need to iron your cotton shirt. It is easier
to iron when slightly damp.
- The comfort, feel and life of a cotton shirt far outweighs this
slight inconvenience.
- Place your freshly ironed cotton shirt on a hanger and leave
it overnight. This will help prevent wrinkling.
- Never wear shirts that are soiled or stained.
