Re: GQing yourself
Has anyone heard of suitsupply.com?
I read up on them in GQ and they have a retail store in NYC.
I want to change my style up from the fitted streetwear look, to the more casual look.
Is it best to just go and get fitted for a suit right away and use the measurements for everything else or is there a better approach for diving into it?

The Complete Guide to Suits: 57 Rules of Style

Rule #1
We've said it before and we'll say it again: Fit is everything. (See above.) Even the world's most expensive suit will look bad if it isn't tailored to the contours of your body.
Rule #2
Some think button-down collars are for casual wear only, but they can work great with dressier looks as well.
Rule #3
Polka dots are a great way to bring energy to a suit. Make sure they're big enough to be recognizable, but not so large that they're goofy.
Rule #4
A tried-and-true pattern like herringbone or glen plaid in a muted shade makes an impression without crossing into the realm of garishness.
Rule #5
Visible stitches around the edges of your lapels (called pick-stitching) aren't necessarily a sign of a well-made garment anymore. However, they can be an attractive decorative flourish—as long as they're subtle. No contrast stitching!
Rule #6
Some say you shouldn't cut the stitching in your jacket pockets, because putting objects in them will cause your jacket to lose its shape. Don't listen. It's pointless to have nonfunctional pockets, and a concert ticket or a business-card holder certainly won't do any damage.
Rule #7
Some think three-pieces are stodgy, but when the waistcoat is cut close to the body and hemmed to the belt line, you'll look slim and modern.
Rule #8
Your tie bar should never be wider than your tie.
Rule #9
The difference between classic and cliché is often in the material. The timeless appeal of this gray suit begins with its super-luxe cashmere wool.
Rule #10
Always unfasten your jacket buttons when you sit. No exceptions.
Rule #11
Never fasten the bottom button of a double-breasted jacket (unless it has only a single row of buttons).
Rule #12
Avoid over-accessorizing. If you're already wearing a pocket square and a tie bar, you'll want to reconsider that clever lapel pin.
Rule #13
When wearing corduroy, steer clear of fusty wide wales, but don't go so narrow that the material starts to look like velvet.
Rule #14
A dark, patterned pocket square provides a welcome visual anchor to a light-colored suit.
Rule #15
When it comes in a sandy tan rather than the usual rust or chocolate brown, this cold-weather suit gets a dose of sunny
Rule #45
An unexpected color like mossy green will bring out a new dimension in a navy suit.
Fratelli Rossetti ($690)
Rule #46
The Chelsea boot pairs perfectly with tapered trousers.
Banana Republic ($158)
Rule #47
Worn with a black suit, a black suede captoe delivers a tonal match that will add some texture to your outfit.
O'Keefe ($545)
Rule #48
The black single-monk is the sleekest, most sophisticated, most versatile shoe around.
Church's ($610)
Rule #49
For a bit of Euro flair, wear a tasseled loafer with pants that graze the middle of your ankle.
Tod's ($625)
Rule #50
A dark-oxblood shoe is a beautiful complement to a charcoal-gray suit.
John Lobb ($1,640)
Rule #51
Brogue boots add the perfect rugged touch to your favorite casual suit.
Allen Edmonds ($375)
Don't drag down your outfit with a substandard timepiece—find one that shows you're fully invested in every last detail of your appearance.
Rule #52
White face, gold indices, brown leather strap—you can't go wrong.
Movado ($795)
Rule #53
Oversize, elegantly designed numerals add some panache.
Panerai ($39,800)
Rule #54
A tank watch, marked by its rectangular shape, spells refinement.
Cartier ($14,200)
Rule #55
An all-black timepiece is a great match for a solid-black or gray suit.
Bell & Ross ($4,600)
Rule #56
A watch your grandfather could have worn will look just as great on you.
Omega ($6,800)
Rule #57
You can wear a chronograph with a suit if it's simple.
TAG Heuer ($5,100)

Looking to get some brown oxfords to incorporate with some new blazers im putting into the rotation this winter but don't really see many reviews on them other than Amazon.
