WDYWT..Parent/Teacher Conference

Gave the navy suit a breather, literally and figuratively and switched it up today for Parent/Teacher Conference.

In regards to giving the suit a breather, although I could have probably worn the navy suit again, paired it with the same shirt and tie from today and no one would have likely noticed. Airing out your clothing is important especially with something like a suit that may not be washed or dry cleaned after ever wear. Simply leave your jacket and pants out in an open space overnight and just let it breathe, just put it away in the morning.

The gray suit is one of the two suits every man should have, the other being a navy suit. Both the pants and jacket can be worn as separates as well due to the versatility of the color. This is not in the "for less" category but what should be noted is that regardless if it's a bespoke suit or a suit off the rack it should fit perfectly. Remember a $1,000 suit can look terrible, while $100 suit with proper alterations, can look like a $1000 suit.The shirt is from Target's Merona collection and the tie was an eBay pick up.
