DRESS THE PART
There is much truth in the popular saying, “Dress the way you want to be addressed.” A gentleman’s clothing can say a lot, or a little, about him. And when it comes to dresswear, the more positive chatter one creates, the merrier.
According to Tarayann Lloyd, marketing director at Edwards Garment, Kalamazoo, Mich., over the past 10 years, the styles, colors and fabrics available in men’s dresswear have undergone significant changes. She said the company’s polyester/wool suits now are made with a natural stretch fabric—a feature men shouldn’t do without. “The poly/wools are much lighter so you may wear them year-round,” she explained. Furthermore, Lloyd said promotional men’s dresswear closely “follows retail trends,” most noticeably in the “cut of the suit jacket [and] the color of the fabric.” To that end, Edwards Garment has added pinstripe suiting in navy, charcoal and brown.
