<p>Syms was great for guys who had smaller body types, because they carried a lot of European cuts. Which, if you’re a “slim fit” kind of guy, looks much better than American cuts. Unfortunately, they’re now out of business. Loehmann’s has a pretty good selection of slim fit dress shirts though, picked up one from Theory there the other day for $40.</p>
<p>If the suit’s for something important and isn’t worn everyday, I would suggest just shelling out for a bespoke one. Nothing looks worse than a crappy fitting suit, and despite the stereotype of guys being oblivious to fashion, guys notice a well tailored/matched suit and tie way faster than women.</p>
