Random Thursdays: Tailored

Being a woman I don’t pretend to know a thing about purchasing Menswear. Being a wedding photographer I do know what looks good and what just looks frumpy. That being said, J and I have a fabulous wedding to attend this August for his step-brother Rob and beautiful fiance Joisan; and an awesome trip to Italy in MarchConsidering J hasn’t been properly fitted for a suit since he was 17, it was time for a makeover.

Not knowing where to go or who to see was frustrating. Three weeks ago when I was photographing Lilian and Dan’s wedding, I could not get over how amazing he looked. Dan was wearing a simple but modern black suit that looked incredible and tailored. Lilian told me that she was very picky about Dan’s suit and how it should fit. She shared with me that I should take my hubby to see Joe at Men’s Wearhouse in Grandville.

Today we went to meet Joe and get J fitted for his suit. I was a little worried because I knew I was going to be picky. The best most random part of it? Well I am a huge Kardashian junkie and a recent episode clips Scott (Kourtney’s beau) talking about how a suit should fit properly; with a wide shoulder and a high armpit…blah blah. I then mention this to Joe and he totally gets it and starts pulling out suits that would yield the best results. Joe proved to be just as awesome as Lilian said, 2 suits, 2 pair of shoes, 3 shirts, 3 ties and a package of socks laterThank you Joe for your help.
