i dont think he has.

anyway, Izwanz, dont you worry. you can wear a suit everyday and if anyone laughs, theyre just sartorially stupid.

p.s: id wear a suit everyday if i can afford to have enough no of suits for everyday wear.

Dunno who Barney Stinson is, but suits are really only worn by certain people at certain times.

If you're a low level employee that people have trouble taking seriously and you go about in a cheap suit indiscriminately, people will think you're not only young and inexperienced, they will also think you are stupid.

For some people in some circumstances, not wearing a suit is a sign that you should be removed from your job. Immediately. Think of when meeting with ministers at officiating ceremonies, industry prize-giving ceremonies, when giving a speech to other businesspeople...

Suits are highly ceremonial in nature. They also happen to be, in this country, worn infrequently, but when a suit is called for, much depends on it being a good one. There is no better way to lower your status than weraring a bad suit when the spotlight shines on you and several hundred eyes gaze upon you.

But what Malaysians do not know is that there exists a whole genre of tailored clothing that is based around the tailored jacket but which is unmistakably casual. An opened neck buttondown shirt with a cream linen jacket worn with jeans is perceived as casual by everyone whose opinions are worth anything. (fan cheongs will remain fan cheongs and will always be clueless and stupid)

This Stinson guy is irrelevant to the wearing of tailored garments.

the fact that he wears a suit all the time (even his pyjamas is kind of a suit) is a running joke throughout the series should give you a clue

the funny thing about Barney is that, he tailors all of his suits...or at least he claims them to be...then again, no one knows what he does for a living and how the hell is he so damn rich.

He haz a lot of keys!

keys?

If im not mistaken, Ted mosby said something about Barney and his job. The line goes "I dont know what he did for a living but he does has a lot of keys........"

If this Barney guy is a caricature, then izwanz's question could only have come from a stupendously stupid pea-sized brain.

It's like asking, "If I dress like Ronald McDonald will people laugh at me?"

Chill bro. Barney is not a cartoon. He's rated as top 100 world most influential men in 2010 if im not mistaken. His question is justified.

I prefer 8118 superfine series

My tips is...

Always work out, to get a decent body shape to fit most clothes, dont have to be muscular, just need to be fit.

Make sure you buy your clothes size. Never be tempted to buy something bigger and think you can fit in the near future.

When you buy shirts, make sure the sleeves fall well on your hand. If its too long, alter it. If its too short, buy a bigger size (the sleeves will be longer and will fall nice, if it doesn't means the brand is pretty bad in making shirts) but check whether collar fits when button up, make sure you can only fit two fingers maximum when you button up the shirt. If its okay, the width of the shirt is usually bigger, so alter it to fit. Add darts or take in by the side. If you dont feel like spending that money, look out for SLIM FIT shirts. Not all brands are the same, Zara makes good Slim Fit which is reasonable and cheap. Keep in mind even expensive brands needs alteration, there is no such thing as a perfect fit shirt for the mass market! Also, if the sleeves is too short, you might want to think whether you will likely roll them up since malaysia is always hot. If you are going to wear them casual and think that most of the time it will be rolled up, then its okay to buy.

About Jeans or Pants length, if you want them to be shorten, make sure when you wear them the pants only breaks once when it touches your shoe. If it breaks more than 2 to 3 or more creases, means its too long. Also ensure you always wear your shoe when you get them shorten, if you dont, after tailoring it will be likely to be longer than you expected.

About shoe sizes. Make sure you know your Euro size. Example. 41, 42, 43, 44, they do half sizes too so double check. Euro size is important because not all shoes share the same UK and US sizes. If you are a half size like me, 43.5 it is always better to buy half size smaller than half size bigger, shoes can expand (not sure about sneakers unless they are leather or suede). Your feet wont grow when you after 20 years old. Unless you eat more and gain weight it will only grow on the width. The sizes are D, E, EE.. for shoe width most shoes runs on D and E.

Men wardrobe basics

Sneaker
Black work shoes
Patent dress shoes

Blue Jeans
Dark Jeans
Chinos (if you are young)
Shorts

Black Suit
Blue Navy blazer

White shirt (Always but the best white shirt you can afford. Many people think white shirt can buy cheap ones and wont make difference. Dont be wrong, it is very easy to tell a cheap shirt from a well made shirt even if they are both just plain white.
Black shirt (buy the best you can afford)
Light blue shirt

Checked shirt

T shirts < buy as much as you like. Make sure they fit well

Always find the best tailor you can afford to tailor you suits. You dont want someone to fit you like the 70's, do research, find feedback's before attempting to engage a tailor. Look up at the latest cuts, or timeless pieces, see how well they are fitted, learn and replicate the fit. Brands like Brioni, Caruso, Pal Zaleri, Kiton, Ermeneigildo Zegna, Tom Ford has long history or good reputation in making suits.

Thanks for the tips

+1.

i think Malaysia is infested with too many ppl in the business who just wanna make money ie shops in Sg Wang. noone wants to make/sell clothes that give the ones wearing them the satisfaction they deserve.

I like this. Keep it up.
