1. Purchasing from physical stores or shopping centres: Suits can be bought in-store at physical shopping centres. Buying offline allows for free try-ons, enabling better selection of suit styles and more effective fulfilment of personal requirements. Offline suits generally offer more assured quality, and should dissatisfaction arise, returns and exchanges are typically more convenient and swift.

2. Online purchasing: Buying through online retailers is also a sound option, as online suit selections tend to be more extensive than those found offline. However, one drawback is the risk of being overwhelmed by the sheer variety of styles. It is advisable to opt for suits that strike a balance between reasonable pricing and good quality, as you generally get what you pay for, thereby avoiding dissatisfaction with your purchase.

3. Bespoke tailoring: Should neither high street nor online options meet your sizing requirements, bespoke tailoring presents an alternative. Tailored suits are typically crafted at bespoke tailors through a process involving appointment booking, fabric and colour selection, measurements, cutting, construction, and fitting sessions to create a suit that meets your expectations.

The best way to select a suit is to assess whether it flatters your shoulders. When wearing a suit, broad shoulders can accentuate the chest, not only showcasing a man’s imposing physique but also conveying a sense of reliability and maturity.
