Fit is a very important aspect of a style. It can make or break any look. If your clothes don’t fit you, then whatever the price, brand, or color, nothing matters. They will not look good on you.
However, working with a tailor for clothing alterations is a rewarding experience. Those off-the-rack clothing that rarely fits on you can look amazing if you have someone who is prepared to make garments perfect for you.

But, how to find the best tailor for your clothing alterations?

Find the best tailor at Dress Alterations Galway City Center. Here are some tips that can help you to find the best tailor.

1.     Ask Around
Asking the people you know is one of the best ways to find the best tailor. If you find a man or woman whose clothes are properly fitted, ask them whom they recommend.  
You can also check out on Google. Their location, contact information, and website if any of the tailor. You just need to type “(your location) tailor or (your location) clothing alterations” to find the best tailor in your locality.
Online forums are another place to find the best tailor in your area.

2.     Check reviews
With the internet, we can search for reviews and comments about any item that we are planning to buy. Search local review sites such as Yelp and CitySearch to find the best tailor in your locality.
Search for the tailor that has the highest reviews, and check out what people like and don’t like about them. Also, pay extra attention to the reviews from those people who have similar body type as yours, such as busty or petite.

3.     Look for experience
In case you are looking for alterations of your designer garment, or very expensive garment, look for an experienced tailor who works on these kinds of clothing alterations on a regular basis.
Tailors who advertise themselves as specialists can easily handle the trickiest clothing alterations. If you are looking for the alteration of a particular type of fabrics that are hard to work with, find the one who specializes in working on those fabrics.

4.     Examine their work
Before you finally hire a tailor for clothing alterations, ask them to show you clothes they have already altered. Examine every piece that hangs on their racks very carefully to make sure that the work looks good.
Stitches on the clothes should be even and clean. Hems and sleeves should be even in clothes.

5.     Skip the Departmental Store Staff
Certain clothing stores offer alteration services. They are not the best tailor for your all alteration work as they are rushed and will not offer you the best personal services.
Therefore, take time, and find the one that can work with you one on one, even it requires some extra work from your side.

6.     Start out with small work
When you are working with any new tailor, it’s better to start out with small work like taking in the waistline or hemming a pair of pants. If you find his work satisfactory, then you can go for more complicated jobs.

Always remember to include the alteration cost in your budget when you shop for clothes. It will save you from going out of budget.

A suit can be a man’s best friend or worst enemy, depending on how it is fitting you and how much it would suit your body structure.

In fact, if there is any attire for men that enhances their personality and look good for every occasion – be it wedding, office, date (just that you have to tone it down or up according to the place and occasion), then it would be a suit.

So, if you have ever gone for a suit shopping and wondered if there are some rules to know that a suit fits and looks perfectly for your body shape, then let us help you with some tips here. There are definitely no fixed rules but we have some cheats for you to keep in mind to make your shopping experience more convenient and fulfilling.

1.      Keep It Classy and Simple

Suits are your second skin and just like the first one, the more comfortable and confident you will feel in your attire, the more it will enhance your personality. Before you get swayed with the patterns and funky color options, make sure that you have the basics in your wardrobe. No matter what the occasion is, you can never go wrong with a suit in solid shades. And when it comes to choosing the fabrics, go with something that fits that season.

2.     Find Your Fit

Always wear a suit that would fit you just right. In fact, it is recommended that you go for a custom made suit so that it is fitting well. Never go for something that is too tight or baggy thinking that it might fit you some day. Just follow the 2 golden and simple rules to find the suit of right fit:

·        The shoulder seam of your jacket should end when your shoulder ends.
·        Your jacket sleeves’ length should be 1/4th less that the length of your shirt sleeves.

3.     Understand Your Jackets

Always wear your suit’s jacket with a matching pair of trousers and a smart pair of shoes. If you want to go contrast with your jacket color, then go for a sports jacket. Remember that for a jacket to give you a slimmer and smart look, it has to fit you perfectly. As for the rules of buttoning your jackets, keep just these two things in mind:

·        Always remember to unbutton your jacket while you are sitting.
·        IF you are wearing a jacket with three buttons, make sure that you are keeping the last button open always.


4.     Pick Your Trousers Carefully

The problem that most of the people face is not finding perfect fit trousers. Do not settle for the lose ones as they give a very baggy look. Get your trousers custom tailors so they fit you properly. Also remember that if you are shorter in height then don’t get too many pleats on your trouser as pleats combined with cuffs don’t look good on shorter men at all.

5.     Opt for Navy Blue as Your First Suit

If you do not have the budget to purchase multiple suits at once, go for a navy blue as your first suit without a thought. You can wear it at any occasion and you can pair it up with shirt of any color and we can assure you that you will never go wrong with it.

Just keep these points handy whether you are getting a tailor made suit or buying it off-the-rack and you would never regret your purchase.

Men- they are either super stylish or they just look plain tacky to a woman. There can never be an in between and the ‘okay’ looking category is mostly neglected. However, when it comes to fashion some men tend to be too good at maintaining their style quotient while others just seem to be clueless even when they have to match their shirt with a tie. And Men! Trust me, nobody is blaming you for it. We understand the struggle that you men have to face in order to remain fashionably updated when you can hardly invest their time in shopping.  


So, here we have a list of some quick fashion tips that would let you keep get that edge in the styling department whether you are going out for a casual outing, your first day with the girl you have been crushing on or just a planning a dinner with your friends and relatives.

1.     Right Fitting is the King
Most of the men have this thing – either they wear clothes that stick to their body or they wear the baggy ones. Well, you are fashionably wrong either ways. Get clothes that will fit you just perfect. They should be snug without being extremely lose or too tight.

2.     Follow the KISS Concept – Keep it Simple
Make sure that you don’t overdo while getting ready for any event. I agree that you might be having lots of flashy accessories and dresses in your wardrobe that you want to flaunt but putting everything in together at a single time is a bad idea. Keep your accessories minimal. And make sure you are not supposed to look like a rock star until you are really planning to join a band in real.

3.     Go Shopping with a Female
You would definitely be having at least one female friend who has a better taste and who is fashion conscious. Take her along with you for shopping and take advantage of her styling knowledge. Besides, having a second opinion is never a bad thing and you it always helps to have an expert along.

4.     Always Take Care of the Shoes You Are Wearing
The first thing that everybody generally notices about your attire is the shoes that you are wearing. Thus, it is really important that you invest in a good pair of the footwear. And trust me, this is one investment that can never go waste because your footwear is probably the only part of your entire dress-up that you are going to repeat more often.

5.     Stay a Notch Above
Yes. You are not supposed to overdo it but being underdressed is also not something that would look good in any setting. Just gather information about the venue and your host as well as fellow guests and you would be able to understand that how you need to trust. Just that if you are going to be with an important person, like your boss then you shouldn’t be looking better than me.

6.     Casual Tshirts
While you move around wearing those tshirts with huge logos on them, you look no less than a walking billboard. C’mon guys, stop being so loud about brands unless you are getting paid for them. Instead, go for a classic solid v-neck tee or something really artsy.

7.     Don’t Be a Blind Follower of Brands
Whenever you decide to purchase any product, just ask yourself once that why are you really investing in it? Is it because you think the style and color will suit you or is it merely because of the brand name? Just think that would you still pay for it if there was no logo tag on it and you would know if it the right product for you or not.

8.     Ask for Genuine Feedback
Most of the people don’t give you genuine feedback about how you are looking because they have a tendency to be diplomatic. However, you would be having that one friend who will always be blunt about her reviews and opinions. Make her your styling adviser.

9.     Invest in a Good Wrist Watch
Wrist watch is a fashion accessory that men need the most but they often neglect it. A good watch can really make you stand out in the crowd. So, invest in one with neutral color combination so that you can wear it with any outfit.

10.Don’t Hesitate to Experiment
Every time you go out shopping, try something new out. Go for something that is completely out of your comfort zone and see how it looks on you. You will be surprised but some styles you feel would look disaster can actually suit you perfectly.

And if you don’t have time to go out and shop then you have the option of purchasing suits and casuals online also. Trust me! The variety that Jodhpur Tailors have can enhance your look a lot.

Wedding is on the cards! – As much as this statement makes one excited about ‘the day’, it is a bit dreadful too. We know you want to look good even if you don’t go around sounding anxious about your dress like your bride does. After all! You will get as much attention (if not more) as her at your special day.
You are going to get clicked more, people are going to remember and talk about what how you looked at each ceremony and you will be making your first impression on many your bride’s relatives and friends. You have every reason to look your best!


You will be poured in with varied styling tips from everybody around you and there will be many dressing options for all the ceremonies to choose from. Do not panic! We have listed down some basic guidelines to make your job a bit easier and to rescue you from all the confusion while finalizing your wedding suit.
Be the Best You Have Ever Looked
Go timeless! Your wedding photos are going to stay with you for a lifetime. The aim is to make your dress look so classic and trendy that even when you look at your marriage album after years with your grandchildren sitting beside you, it should make your bride want to time-date the picture.
The Elegant Two-Piece Suit
Unless you happen to be somebody who is completely familiar with the styling rules of wearing a tuxedo, a two-piece suit is the most prominent option for every man. Remember! Your wedding is not the time to experiment with a new style. Go for darker shades while choosing your suit and match it up with a light colored shirt and a plain tie. This combination makes any man look classy and neat.
Keep It Solid
Your suit should either be navy blue, black or charcoal gray. Stick to these colors unless you are planning a destination wedding at an exotic location like Vegas, in which case can I also get an invitation? And be it Vegas or your hometown, patterning on the suits should be left for the bridals. Go the simple and chic way and you will impress.
Wedding Suit Cuts and Style
A single-breasted suit is always the first choice of the men, but that is the most obvious and simple choice too. And I am sure that your wedding is definitely not the day where you want to look ‘so normal’. Thus, going for a double-breasted suit will give a more formal look. Alternatively, you can also wear a three-piece suit as it brings a comfortable and stylish aura. Your photographer will also be able to take pictures in different poses by playing around with your jacket while you are wearing waist coat.
The Wedding Dress Shirt
Imagine yourself being the showstopper of the day along with your bride. What would you like to see yourself in? Probably white or another solid color but in lighter shades. This is exactly what you should be wearing while choosing the shirt of your dress. Leave the patterns and checks for your guests. You should look more formal for the occasion and that look can be achieved with a tailor-made shirt only.
The Wedding Necktie
If there party of your dress that would remain more in focus then it is your necktie, followed by the shirt collar. Ensure that you spend adequate time in selecting this accessory and make a thoughtful decision. I would recommend you to go for earthy colors or the darker shades of blue, gold and green. Remember! Red color looks good only on bridal for the wedding day so avoid it.
Wedding Day Shoes
A man’s best accessory is his shoes! Wear formal shoes with a shining look. You can choose the brand and color complementing your suit. However, ensure that they are perfectly polished and they have to match to your belt (somewhat if not closely)

No matter what you wear or choose, just remember two simple rules – Firstly, your outfit should complement your bride’s dress, not compete with her (since you are getting married, you should know that you are never suppose to compete with your counterparts) and secondly, keep your suit as simple and elegant as possible. Weddings are already very hectic affair, you do not want to get yourself uncomfortable by wearing something that you don’t feel confident it!

The best investment a man can ever make for himself is buying a custom-made suit. I agree that it is a big investment both in terms of time and money, but every man should have at least one good and well-fitted suit in his wardrobe for the occasions that need him to be suited-up. You can always deconstruct a suit and wear it on occasions that are beyond being formal and professional.


If you are thinking that wearing the same suit to every occasion is practically not possible and it would become boring after a point too then I have a better alternative for you to put your suit to the best of its use without making it look unexciting. You can pair the shirt, vest, jacket and pants with something casual and you would be ready for just any occasion or venue.

If you are wondering that I am saying it just for the sake of it then allow me to tell you how and with what you can pair every clothing piece from your suit for those casual outings and meetings to sport a smart look. Let’s begin with considering which suit you should be buying that can be converted into the casual outfits.

Let me make a confession – Navy Blue is my personal favorite color but today I am not recommending you to invest in a suit of same color because of just that reason. Trust me! A navy blue two-buttoned suit looks elegant enough to be worn anywhere and it can be paired with just about anything when you are deconstructing it.

Here’s how you can style each item.

The Jacket



You can double the navy blue suit jacket as a blazer also. It is perfect clothing for a smart look that will be sophisticated yet approachable for a casual date.

Oliver Cotton Shirt

The woven-shirt’s slender gleam complements the solid dark jacket while being elemental.

Raw Denims

A pair of Indigo Timber colored slim-fit jeans would give you a perfect trendy and comfortable look. Avoid choosing skinny fit denims because slim-fit is the real modern classic style.

Leather Belt

A brown colored leather belt is a perfect companion for informal occasions. It goes really well with gray, navy and tan shoes (but never wear it with black).

Sneakers

All white sneakers are perfect for an outing on a sunny day. They look good with almost every pattern, color and texture. I would recommend you to go for leather material as it is easy to clean.
