That is mostly an impossible endeavor in the south. Almost all dress pants, suit or no suit are pleated. You can be rail thin and still look a little pudgy.

Buying dress clothes here, is depressing.

It's difficult? No it isn't. Club Monaco, D&G, Calvin Klein, Armani, BOSS, Hilfiger, John Varvatos (ESPECIALLY!), and LAUREN Ralph Lauren all give you amazing (!) slim cut suit options. You can get them in wool, tweed, or cotton. If you want a more affordable option, Club Monaco ain't bad but if you want even cheaper you can go H&M or Top Shop. The only limits here are how lazy the buyer feels or how poor he is.

If you get a slim lapel jacket, remember to get a small collar for the slim tie. I don't have one and I look a bit silly with my thin tie getting lost in the collar. I think wide-spread collars are the thing now, too.

You don't know what you're talking about. Some of those brands are hard to find. Club Monaco for example, only has 69 stores. The closest one to me would be Miami.

And when those brands are offered, the store in question often doesn't offered the slim option.

Get your measurements. Order a suit from somewhere that doesn't suck online. Get it tailored. The end.

You forgot the part where you shove it up your ass.

I also forgot about Brooks Brothers. If they, the long-standing formalwear makers for older men, even know that slim is in for everyone pls blv every single fashion house has a slim suit option. And really, you cannot go wrong with Brooks Brothers now since they stopped making all their suits for your dad and started to focus on clothes for younger men. If you insist on a black suit, buy another one either navy blue (meh) or grey (a light grey and highly recommended) for some diversity in your wardrobe. Really, a black suit is for funerals. Any other occasion you should be wearing a different colored suit so you don't look like a drab motherfucker.

Unless, of course, you're punk as fuck and can make a black suit look like the most fashionable thing in the room. I doubt you are, though.

Thanks for the advice. Will have to keep the lapel width in mind since a slim black tie is required.

A light grey suit would be my ideal first choice. Unfortunately, both weddings are asking me to wear black. This is why I'm thinking of going for a buy 2 deal as I know the black one is never going to get used again other than for funerals.

[Razor Ramon]

Wear one to both weddings, why not? You don't need separate suits. People will believe you know how to clean your clothes. You won't even need to, really, anyway.

I wear a black suit, a black shirt, black chucks, and a white tie to all formal occasions. I dare you to try it.
