Don’t think you need a suit? Think again. It’s a must-have for any closet, and what’s more a suit is essential to anyone’s wardrobe, even in our work-from-home reality of sweatpants and bathrobes. We’re all looking for that opportunity to get dressed up after months of canceled events, even if it is just moving from the bedroom to the living room sofa.
Although more people are opting for athleisure this year there’s always an occasion for a suit and picking one can be complicated. A suit can transform your confidence into Timothée Chalamet on the red carpet if done correctly or as if you’ve been playing in your father’s closet if not. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, going on a job interview, or prepping for a zoom presentation there’s a perfect suit for you out there, no matter the budget.
