Dress codes in Los Angeles are a funny thing.
But these days, dress codes should really be taken as mere suggestions rather than mandate.
My search for the perfect Oscars suit began at the Mens Wearhouse location on N. La Cienega Blvd.

in Los Angeles, where I was greeted by the friendly store associate named Maddy.
The slim fit allowed a streamlined silhouette without feeling restrictive.
I added a white pocket square to complete the look.
The entire outfit was pretty reasonably priced too, coming in at around $750.
For a name brand suit that was tailored to my body, that was surprisingly affordable.
