I’m sure we go on tangents-for-days about our collective love affair w/ all things menswear. And if you’re new around these parts, then you might not know just how much of a tangent I mean.

Over the years, my style has progressively become more in-tune with and inspired by menswear & because of that, I’ve learned what pieces seamlessly fit into my wardrobe that breed maximum ease with minimal effort.

Be it suiting, sweaters, bottoms or button-ups, shopping in the men’s section is a skill I’ve fine-tuned & finally feel like I’ve become fairly good at. — This pinstripe suit is case-in-point.

On one of my many thrifting excursions, I came across this suit & instantly knew it’d be mine. It was in great condition, didnt have that nauseating “thrift store” smell & cost a whopping $15 flat.

As soon I got it home, I opted to crop the blazer as it was a bit too oversized for the look I was going for & looking back on it, I have not a single regret.

If you’re anything like me appreciate a good menswear moment but don’t want to break-the-bank, I implore to hit up the men’s section at your local thrift store. Yes it take a bit of time, patience & elbow grease to sift through the unadulterated clutter, but the gems are priceless & this suit was well worth it.
