if you want to save money, gain weight. the really expensive Italian brands like Armani and Zegna don't fit well on fat asses :evillaugh
you do have to spend money to look good, though. you don't need a brand name - just the best tailor you can afford, and have him find the finest materials he can lay his hands on. as long as both of you have a decent sense of style, you'll look like you stepped out of GQ yourself
dito sa US, mas mahal pa magpatailor using Italian fabrics kesa bumili ng off-the-rack na Armani suits. peste!
