I wore Men’s Wearhouse every day for a week — here’s what I discovered
Here are my thoughts on one of the biggest menswear destinations on the market
Man in Men's Wearhouse Blue Suit

I have always been a guy that loved a good suit. As a matter of fact, at one point, I was only comfortable in suits, and I had to get out of my comfort zone to elevate my streetwear and casual looks. I recognize that is the opposite of most people; welcome to my world. Virtually everything I do is the opposite of the rest of the population. So, when I needed to buy a new suit, I started researching, and one place kept coming up in the recommendations and the Google searches: Men's Wearhouse. I wanted something upscale, something with a little more punch. And if I am being honest, I always felt like Men's Wearhouse was that place you went to if you needed to rent a tux for prom or a wedding or if you needed a suit really quick. But now that I have spent over a decade in the industry, I gave it another chance and decided to wear the brand every day for a week to discover once and for all if Men's Wearhouse is worth it.
