Full Skinny Suit

[Aku]

Curious, prom's coming up and I'm very much sold on this look:

Just curious if anyone knows where I can get a suit like that (everything minus shoes I guess) and around how much it'll cost. I'm hoping for nothing more than 300.

[Servo2000]

Zara, H&M maybe. This has been answered many times and frankly I can't be bothered to look for it, do a search.

[cmirsky]

I see pictures of this suit all the time on ebay, but the auction is always just for a tie or something.

I have an All Saints suit that fits similar to that, but its slightly slimmer in the pants. I got it off ebay a while back for around $150.

[Servo2000]

Also, those pants legs fit like shit. Make sure whatever you buy, you get them tailored.

[destructodisk]

I'll be picking up a suit tomorrow that's been tailored for me. The original suit cost upwards of $1k but I got it for just $300 at this local consignment store with an in-house tailor. Everything is extremely nice, and it fits very well. I told the guys I wanted a slimmer fitting suit and they hooked me right up.

Look around your area for these privately owned suit places. From my experience you can get great deals, and a great fitting suit.

oh alright, so I can just purchase a regular suit and get it tailored to fit me like that? thanks. I tried to search but got way too many results, tried to look through a few and got tired

[destructodisk]

Yeah absolutely. I got the pants tapered, and the jacket slightly altered for a slim sillhouette for a cheap price.

I wouldnt reccomend buying any old suit and getting it altered to the shit house. try and find one as close to the fit you like that only needs simple adjustments.

Try H&M, Zara & Club Monaco.

And agreed with Servo - the pants in that image arent a nice fit at all - far too long in length. Wearing an ill fitting suit it the biggest fashion blunder.

[julianREE]

i bought a christian dior tux thrift for 85 bucks (props for moy for hooking me up).

the jacket is pretty slim, but i need to taper the bottom definitly.

i bought these acne slacks that are pretty slim, but they might be a little over your suggested price range. They had a matching jacket too, but I didn't get it.

despite what you may think, stacking doesn't work with suits.

[vjiforlife]

i agree. stacking does work well with suit pants. i got a suit from banana republic a little over a year ago and it's pretty slim fitting. if i wanted it more slim, the tailoring would not be that difficult.

[Aku]

Alright, thanks guys, will give Zara and H&M a visit and I will agree with a few of you, I don't like stacking on pants, it has to barely touch the shoes, thank god for black socks Not sure if I should wear white or black shoes though, oh well.

[dizzhizz]

This has been covered numerous times before...

Try the other sf forum and check out thick as thieves. RTW or MTM suits ranging from 400 USD. Jason is quite a friendly guy and will assist you all the way through...

Your best bet dude...

[Pogi]

Definitely check out Zara, their slimming suits are affordable.

[Fabulaz]

Black is ok, if boring.

Personally, I would wear navy or charcoal, or if I'm feeling dandy-ish, red.

And never white. Its just improper with dressy attire.

I remember those kids who rocked a full white tux with a pink tie and thought it was hot.

[quincunx]

hey guys any recommendations on getting a suit in sydney? I have no clue where to start.

[mike lowrey]

despite what you may think, stacking doesn't work with suits.

true, but if I'd have to choose from that or too short, I'd wear something thats a bit long. best thing is of course to tailor them but don't do them too short, that looks terrible too.

How much you want to pay and what style, colour do you want?

I hope you don't mean that in the way it reads.

Monza, on Miller st in North Sydney (near where I work and live!)

They have awesome suits there, Hugo Boss and Versace to name a few, includes the services of a tailor.

http://www.thickasthievesla.com/ these fellas make a great suit to your specs if you are looking for something slim. i have one coming in the first of may and if this thread is still active ill post up some pics. the price is right and they are very easy to deal with...im sure someone has brought them up before but i learned of them through styleforum.net

[wild_whiskey]

To add to stamped's post, here is my suit from Thick as Thieves:

Amazing shit, and only $100 more than H&M/Zara.

[fg0d]

Funny, I was just 'bout to make a thread similar to this, but not for a suit, my prom's coming up but it's going to be a black tie event, and I was wondering what label, or line of tuxedos would have a slimmer figure?

[Fookums]

Oh, I'm renting it, I just wanted to know which designers/lines to look for when looking for one to rent

If you got the $$$, DeLaRenta is a good choice.

[Fookums]

I was looking at those, how's the fitting on 'em?

yeah, um the fit of this suit is fucking spot on brian. i need to come up with the funds to buy from getsmart. but i really want to go out there and get measured up and whatnot...but your fit is amazing on the suit.

[broneck]

Aku, if you're still looking for a well fitted suit at rock bottom prices (you live in T.O. right?) head to Vaughan and go to the Holt's outlet. About 90% complete shit, but you may get lucky and find a diamond in the rough, they carry a lot of Hugo and they fit like Dior for about a 1500th the price.

I have no clue haha They just look good on the mannequins.
