One of the best ways to make your look really fit your personality is to make sure it fits you. And by this I mean: Get yourself to a tailor. It’s one of my first messages to clients. If it doesn’t fit, then it isn’t perfect, which means it shouldn’t be in your closet just yet.

My Seattle go-to tailor is Misook at Superb Custom Tailors on Queen Anne. (206-283-7777). You can’t beat her honesty and no nonsense approach to making sure your look is perfect for your body and your life. Spending a little more on your tailoring is a savings in the long run: you can stop looking for the perfect piece because it’s already in your closet.
