In a matter of weeks, the weather will begin to warm—and spring fashion will be on display. Are you ready?

At Michael Thomas Clothiers, we know how important it is that your wardrobe reflects your position and your accomplishments. We’re always keeping our eyes open, looking for trends in the fashion world so that we can keep you up to date. As the spring season approaches, here are several highlights (via GQ.com) to keep an eye on. Come in and see us today to learn more!

Canali:

No group of people get flair and elegance better than our friends the Italians. And there aren’t many suiting lines more italiano than Canali. This season, they amped things up with bold, head-turning colors—pink, magenta, royal purple—and cranked out blazer after blazer with not one, or two, but five buttons. And for the more traditional guys out there, they kept things simple with beautiful powdery-gray, two-button suits that just about any guy can look chic in.

Calvin Klein:

Designer Italo Zucchelli continues to explore what it means to be designing in the 21st century. The feel this season is sporty and relaxed, with full-cut, reverse-pleated pants and Dolph Lundgren-y, bicep-revealing (ck) shirts, all accented by a white and gray color scheme that meets electric yellows and seafoam greens on the other side of the spectrum.

Giorgio Armani:

Armani opened everyone’s eyes back in the ’90s when he snipped the shoulder pads out of his suits and created a softer shape in his jackets. This season, he’s exploring that breakthrough again—in his usual palette of navy and gray and white and black—while sticking to his vision that a man can look well-dressed and casual at the same time.

Tommy Hilfiger:

Warm-weather prep gets haute. Tommy’s boys are always sophisticated but have rarely looked as forward-thinking as this year. Hilfiger partners once again with young gun Simon Spurr to meld Cape Cod staples with sleek silhouettes and saturated, high-voltage colors. Tops on our list is the array of many-hued, iridescent camo, splayed across shorts, shirts, and jackets alike, as well as a slimmed-down, positively pop-art take on the varsity jacket (not to mention the funky lapeled varsity-cum-suit jacket), proving that one of the reigning kings of prep can still out-innovate the field at its own game.

J.Crew:

Splashes of unlikely color peeked out at J.Crew’s presentation—orange striped sweaters, lemon-colored oxford shirts, chartreuse shorts, Pollock-esque paint-splattered shorts—throwing a few twists into this otherwise dependably smart collection for the modern man. Lightweight suits, suede deck shoes, and sea-ready outerwear were the highlights, proving once again that Frank Muytjens and Co. see the warmer months with clarity.

DKNY:

This go-around, DKNY took over the NASDAQ building in Times Square. Fret not: The clothes were anything but floppy Wall Streeter get-ups. In front of scrolling stock tickers and megatron ads, young guns stood at attention in crisp, tailored suits that were often pinstriped and nearly always in shades of gray. Others were geared up for the storm that raged outside: Steve McQueen-channeling trenches, zip-collar anoraks, and rain-ready, white-soled boots. Last but not least, there were some dudes in Teva-like sandals. Yep, those could be making a comeback.

Are you ready for the spring season? We’re ready to help— give us a call and set up your appointment today!

You have heard it said that “the clothes make the man.” But have you ever wondered why this is true—and more importantly, why investing into your wardrobe is worth it? Today, we are going to share seven reasons that your wardrobe is among the best investments you can make:

Your clothing largely shapes the first impression you create. The first impression you make is important—whether it’s during a job interview, a first date, or anything in between. And the way you dress plays a major role.

Dressing for the job you want improves your chances of attaining it. Many people hope to secure a prestigious job—without understanding that, if they don’t look the part, they’re unlikely to get the opportunity. Dress for the job you want… not the job you currently have!

Dressing well distinguishes you from the masses. In today’s highly competitive world, it is important that you can distinguish yourself from others—whether it’s in business or social settings. Your wardrobe is a sure way to do so!

A sharp wardrobe gives you a huge advantage during a job interview. Landing your dream job is never easy, but in the current economy it is even more challenging than usual. The first step is making a good impression during your interview… and the right outfit makes a big difference.

Your style of dress helps you create a memorable personal brand. It’s not enough to look good—you need to stand out. There are thousands of people who look “good” in a suit… but how many of them are truly memorable?

Dressing well boosts your self confidence. When you know that you are dressed well, it changes the way you carry yourself. You become surer of yourself and more willing to take on challenges.

A top-notch wardrobe allows you to “take over the room” when you enter. A small number of people have the ability to “take over” a room when they walk in the door. You know what I’m talking about—the people that you can’t seem to take your eyes off of. Clothing from MT Clothiers will help you become that person!

Set up your appointment today—it just may be the best investment you ever make!

Tom Comeau, President of Michael Thomas Clothiers, a men’s & women’s custom tailoring showroom, explains that clothing really does make the man or the woman.

The blog, titled “The Clothes Really Do Make the Man (and the Woman!)” explains that an excellent wardrobe inspires an individual to strive for excellence.

At Michael Thomas Clothiers, we have been in business for over 35 years. As you can imagine, during that time we have provided service for thousands and thousands of clients. As a result of this extensive experience, we have realized a profound truth: the clothing that professionals wear has great significance—and not just in making them look good. Indeed, the right wardrobe has the power to change your life. Below are four examples that we have seen over and over again:

1) The right wardrobe inspires self-confidence. Henry Ford once said that “if you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right.” The message is clear—believing in yourself is essential for achieving success. At MT Clothiers, we have seen the impact that the right wardrobe has on an individual’s self-confidence. When an individual knows that he or she looks fantastic, their self-confidence soars. They become more comfortable and more sure of themselves—and as a result become more effective at work and in life.

2) The right wardrobe sends a powerful first impression. Whether it is a job interview, a business meeting, or a social event, sending the right first impression is critical… and the right outfit plays a crucial role in creating this impression. Your outfit can help you to appear sophisticated, powerful, and tasteful… but it can also create the impression that you are sloppy, unprofessional, and unmotivated. What type of first impression do you want to make? Visit Michael Thomas Clothiers and let us make you look your finest!

3) The right wardrobe dramatically increases professional success. What determines the career potential of an individual? Certainly motivation, intelligence, communication skills, and other aspects of a personality play an important role. But we have seen over the years that wardrobe selection plays a tremendous role as well. An impressive wardrobe sends the message that you have what it takes to perform at a high level as a leader. Whether it is receiving a promotion or securing an interview for a sought-after position, the clothing you wear has a substantial role to play. As the saying goes, a man should dress for the job he wants, not the job he has—and at MT Clothiers we will make sure you are always dressed for success.

4) The right wardrobe creates a distinctive personal brand. What do others think of you? Are you a high achiever? Are you talented? Are you motivated, sophisticated, and savvy? The perception that others have of you is known as your personal brand—and your personal brand is important in business and in social life. While most people don’t realize it, their perceptions of others are shaped in large part by the clothing that the individual wears. The right wardrobe will create distinctive and attractive personal brand—and you’ll reap the benefits each and every day.

Sure, a well-tailored suit makes you look good. But the power of the perfect wardrobe runs far deeper than that. Schedule your appointment with MT Clothiers and discover the power of the perfect wardrobe today!

Your style of dress sends a strong message about yourself. The clothes you wear play a huge role in creating the first impression that others have of you.

For that reason, choosing the right wardrobe is essential for success in the world of business and beyond.

But that is not the only reason that your clothing selection is so important. You have all heard the saying that “you should dress for the job you want, not the job that you have.” It is important to understand, however, that this statement is about more than simply what others think of you. The truth is that an individual who dresses well is typically inspired to work hard in order to live up to the standards that his clothing has set for himself (or herself).

In other words, your clothing will bring out the best in you—provide that your clothing reflects the excellence that you are striving for. Taking the time to invest into your wardrobe not only ensures that you will look your best, but also that you will be driven to live up to the standards you have set.

At Michael Thomas Clothiers, we want to help you make the right impression on those around you as well as bring out your best. To that end, we offer meticulously hand- tailored clothing and accessories in luxurious fabrics – and sometimes at less expense than an off-the-rack suit. We take detailed body measurements, which Michael Thomas Clothiers’ garments will fit you perfectly and enhance your physique. You will have a choice of an array of fabrics in numerous hues. You’ve invested in many areas to get to where you are today. Now, choose clothing that is timeless, classic and reflects the excellence you pursue on a daily basis.

Don’t settle for simply being “ordinary.” Don’t settle for looking “okay.” Choose excellence!

Visit Michael Thomas Clothiers, and invest in your most important asset – you.
