There’s a reason why popular celebrities, large industrialists, trending fashionistas and powerful politician’s patronize bespoke over ready to wear garments.
Nothing looks more elegant than perfect fit shirts. From the style icons of 007 Bonds to our very own Prime Minister Modi, they have all been found sporting tailored shirts and suits that only befits a man with class.
Sadly, this is a fact that seems to elude many men as they continue to scrounge through racks off Prêt-à-Porter aka Ready-to-wear-ill-fitted garments at department stores. With ready-to-wear shirts come a plethora of fashion faux pas. Why? Because no two men are alike. And while most manufacturers understand this, economies of scale takes precedence which is why most men go home with an ‘OK’ for ALL Fit.
Result: You get either one or all of the following:
- The infamous Droopy Shoulders: A common problem faced often by men with narrow shoulder frames or shorter heights, complemented by longish sleeves and shirts that need a lot of tucking in.
- Grandfather – Poofy sleeves: Billowing sleeves that seem to engulf your hands, arms and everything that falls in plain sight.
- Shirt Dress: A shirt you don’t need pants for.
- A Wayward Shirt Collar: A collar that either chokes you or was made in anticipation of the fat neck you may grow into soon and finally the
- Muffin Top: A top with the extra ‘several’ inches at the torso to oblige the budding foodie inside you.
True, time is of essence in a jet setting world dominated by technology, business travel and innumerable sales calls and trying to fit in a visit to the tailor can be cumbersome not to forget the innumerable visits if it doesn’t fit right, but a well fitted shirt does go all the way in defining who you are. After all, the phrase “Clothes maketh a man” wasn’t just coined in vain.
