CDG = Comme des Garcons. Nobody said looking
good was going to be cheap. For high style, you're
supposed to live in a tiny flat in London or New York
and have it sparsely furnished with angular modern
furniture and only have space for three or so outfits,
so you can buy expensive shirts. And I'm pretty
certain that it really is slim fit.

Remember Meg Ryan to Tom Hanks in Joe versus the Volcano?

"That outfit's wearing you, Felix"

Stand up straight.
Be comfortable in your own skin.
Wear clothes you like.
You will be in style.

Find a good tailor.
Have him fit your jackets and trousers for you,
including the ones you own now.
Do not allow the store fit your clothes.
