Should A Young Man Buy A Suit For $1000? Video Style Advice For Young Men Buying First Suits

About this video

Centeno advises a young man against spending $1000 on a graduation suit, arguing that at his age with a still-growing body and developing style preferences, such an investment is wasteful. Instead, Centeno recommends prioritizing fit over fabric quality, exploring thrift stores or borrowing from family, and spending significantly less while saving money for future needs.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues young men under 21 should not spend $1000 on suits because their bodies are still growing and they will outgrow the garment
  • Centeno recommends prioritizing fit and classic style over fabric quality at a young age, as this is the time to learn and experiment rather than invest heavily
  • Centeno suggests exploring thrift stores, borrowing from family, or buying cheaper suits and having them tailored as more prudent alternatives to expensive new suits
