Mens Dress Suits - Why they are different from Business Suits

Mens dress suits are the type of suit that is usually the type of suit one would wear to a special occasion. Here's a question I receive all the time. "What's the difference between a Mens Business Suit and a Dress Suit. The answer is easy. Mens Dress Suits are just a little nicer looking than your daily workhorse mens business suit. Dress suits are made of nicer looking fabric with nicer stripes or patterns that will be bolder in style that you wear to church on Sundays, weddings or other special occasions. Steve Harveys suits are known for being worn to events like these. You want to look your best at those times so you don't want to waste the moment just wearing a basic blue suit do you? No, you want to wear one that makes you look like you own the joint, right.


I personally prefer to wear a suit that is either English or Italian cut and tailored to my size. The latest Stacy Adams suits have been made this way. There is really no need to buy a completely custom tailored suit when a standard off the rack dress style suit will more than do the trick. The secret to making an off the rack suit look like the million bucks on you is the tailoring part. Once you pick a great style you like, take it to a good tailor and have them fit the jacket to you. Let them take away that generic boxy look and fit it to your physique the way it's supposed to be. That is what will make that dress suit look like it was made for you as opposed to just getting the pants hemmed putting it on and starting your day. When you have all of your suits tweaked and tailored to your body, that is when you will look like you know how to dress, That is when people will notice you know how to dress and you will garner respect and start walking with your head held high.
