Avoid tight-waisted jackets, overly padded shoulders, wide lapels they make you look squat. Average? On you, everything looks good. Heavy? Avoid all fabrics they're fattening. Come on in and we'll suggest the Michaels-Stern models that do the most for your build.

2. Be a crank about quality. Inspect the fabric. See if you like its feel. Make sure it's flawless.

Look at the linings and ask if they're pre-shrunk (they'd better Pinch the lapels should bounce back into shape without a wrinkle when you release them. Check the seams. See if they're neatly and evenly stitched. Examine the buttonholes for tight, precise stitches. Ask if the thread is silk (that's the best buttonhole thread).

Stop in and we'll show you all the fine needlework in our Michaels-Stern suits. 3. Be sure you get a good fit. First, relax and stand naturally before the mirror. Resist the temptation to pull in your stomach and square your shoulders.
