COVINGTON SHOP OWNER: HOW TO BUY A SUIT AND LOOK GOOD IN IT
Jerod Theobald, owner of flow - a shop for men on Scott Boulevard writes:
Black is nice, but a solid navy, two-button suit is a better option. To complete the classic look, pair the navy suit with a white or light blue dress shirt. Not sure about fabric? Stick with mid-weight 100% wool. It’s heavy enough to keep you warm in the cooler months but light enough to keep you comfortable as temperatures begin to climb.More tips from Jerod at the link.
