Suit Up! The 10 GOLDEN Rules To Buying A Suit (With Style)
About this video
Centeno teaches ten foundational rules for purchasing a suit, covering decisions about where to buy, budget considerations ($200-$2,000 range), fabric selection (prioritizing 100% wool), fit assessment, style choices (two-button notch lapel suits recommended for timelessness), and complementary garments including dress shirts, shoes, neckwear, and accessories. He emphasizes that proper fit is more important than price and provides detailed guidance on tailoring options for jacket and trouser adjustments.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that fit is paramount—a well-fitting affordable suit outperforms an expensive poorly-fitted one, and buyers should prioritize proper shoulder fit since alterations are costly
- Centeno recommends beginners select navy, charcoal, or gray in 100% wool with a two-button notch lapel and double vent design for timeless style that will remain appropriate for years
- Centeno advises that suit quality depends on coordinating details like a white dress shirt with medium spread collar, black Balmoral oxford shoes with closed lacing, subtle neckwear patterns, and proper grooming including clean nails and well-maintained hair
