Your point demonstrates that shop-bought suits don't always fit well or look good so it's worth both men and women investing in some decent tailoring.<br />We are continuing with this line of research and will explore this fascinating topic further.Karen Pine www.karenpine.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428781311752827436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-78840334413276419332011-09-20T15:59:46.692+01:002011-09-20T15:59:46.692+01:00I see a flaw in this study immediately.

I have never seen an uglier pantsuit. The pants are enormous and the jacket is very sloppy.<br /><br />You should do your study where the woman wears a "bespoke" pantsuit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-65956444840097146502011-09-15T09:52:18.575+01:002011-09-15T09:52:18.575+01:00I agree, I've always hated uniform of any kind...I agree, I've always hated uniform of any kind (caused me all kinds of trouble at school!) and I'm not a suit-wearer myself. I'm so pleased that God, in her infinite wisdom, gave us women a much greater range of options when it comes to clothes. Poor blokes though, if there's a suit dress -code at work they have limited scope. <br />BUT this research does show that bespoke suits give them a way to express their individuality - and really impress others at the same time. Surely this must herald the demise of Burton's man?Karen Pine www.karenpine.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428781311752827436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-27450651401353978432011-09-15T09:40:08.400+01:002011-09-15T09:40:08.400+01:00I haven't worn a suit for years.

I think people lack the confidence to move away from suits and especially black when other colours and styles could be so much more flattering and present a better image.Little Brown Birdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-47165972535170551312011-09-13T14:07:32.482+01:002011-09-13T14:07:32.482+01:00Thanks Ceri, couldn't agree more, especially y...Thanks Ceri, couldn't agree more, especially your final tip about dressing for the role you want not the role you're in, great advice!Karen Pine www.karenpine.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428781311752827436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-28776411066234676942011-09-13T10:58:08.873+01:002011-09-13T10:58:08.873+01:00Karen, I couldn't agree more with your finding...Karen, I couldn't agree more with your findings. I have spent a career working in a male dominated environment, but always invested in great quality suits or tailored dresses and jackets,aiming to look professional yet feminine. I often had them professionally altered to get a perfect 'fit'. <br />My grandfather was a 'master tailor' with clients all over the world. He taught me to look for good quality fabrics.<br />As a headhunter I know that first impressions count in business- a sharp appearance gives the appearance of a sharp mind. No wrinkled collars or scuffed shoes! <br />I absolutely agree with dressing for success. You need to dress for the role you want- not the role you're in.Ceri Wheeldonhttp://www.fabafterfifty.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
