Dressing Better Vol 2.0

^ Those are nice, thanks. I can't get down with double vent blazer/sportcoats though.

edit - how do they fit? They have some beautiful coats on Yoox.

I have a wedding I'm attending a month from now. I don't have that long Bespoke paper even though I know that's what I really need. I have extremely long arms, broad shoulders & big traps, making the process of finding a manageable OTR difficult.

I already am spending on some AE shoes so I don't want to go over $500. Where should I look for a well fitting suit for a muscular frame? I'll likely need either 44L or 46R & the selection isn't all that great in my initial searching

700

Had to take in the midsection, taper the arms, and shorten the sleeves slightly.

Napoli fit is Suit Supply's most accessible given your athletic frame.

I'd personally recommend their Blue Plain joint:

SS is probably going to run you a lot extra on tailoring if you are built like that...im a 42R but with broad square shoulders and was quoted about $150 to fix some shoulder divots on a sienna-line suit ($700)...decided it wasn't worth and went mtm

although I'm still have some issues after going mtm...the jacket's sleeve head are dimpling and the second time its gone back for alterations...the company said if it needs a third round of shoulder work, they would redo the jacket 
 
What do you guys usually wear for interviews? What's a good outfit plus dress shoes for all for $200 bucks?

You cutting that budget OD short.

Be cereal, how much do you spend on kicks? You should at least bump that up to $300 mang :smh:
Agreed. $200 should be for your suit. You may luck up and find a Calvin Klein at TJMaxx or Marshall's. 30 on a decent shirt, at least $150 on the shoes. But these should be staples in your closet.

I can never say this enough....STAY READY AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO GET READY
 
$200 is doable if there is an H&M or Uniqlo around you. It isn't going to last a lifetime but for starters, it is more than enough.

At H&M, a full suit, white shirt, tie, socks, shoes can all be had for $200 and probably have some left for 20 piece chicken nugget at Mickey D's.

H&M also has a 20% off single item if you sign up for their email.


I don't think that is a bad choice for those just getting into things and then they can move on from there once they get hired and get paid. Soon enough they'll be rocking all white and all red arenas too.

Generally speaking hk is one of the most expensive cities in the world

I'm biased since the first time I went there I had to make $5k stretch five months :x But when I went back a year later I spent twice that amount in two weeks. So that's why I say that it can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be.

There is definitely a lot of money there and a lot of ways to spend money it too.

Thanks for your input guys I appreciate it. I was maybe thinking buying those cheap $40 H&M/Zara dress shoes, maybe rock an old button up :lol:

Out of curiosity what is your everyday dress shoes that you can count on? Recommend the model brand?

Most of Asia's mega cities such as Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai are extremely expensive. They make US cities such as NYC, San Fransisco, DC feel relatively affordable. Our most expensive cities are practically a bargain in comparison.
