Dressing well is important in today's society. How you wear a shirt, jeans, dress and other outfits can generally determine who you are. "The clothes make the man is more than what it takes.” Nothing reflects more poorly on a man during an interview or on a date than stringy hair, scuffed shoes or a badly fitted sport coat. Before your next big engagement, take steps to groom yourself properly. Shine those shoes and learn how to measure for a well-fitted sport coat. Here’s what you can do to measure a sport coat for you.

1. Get a helper, if possible, with long arms, to help you measure your sport coat. You will need to have pencil and paper handy to write down the measurements, so that you don't forget them.

2. Stand in the middle of a well-lit room wearing a shirt, a sweater or whatever other clothing you expect to wear with your sport coat most often. Now, your helper should measure around the biggest part of your chest using a tape measure.

3. Place a clothes pin under the tape measure to loosen it a bit. Whatever the measurement is, raise it to the next even number, meaning that a 41- inch chest measurement would become a size 42.

4. Measure your height if you don't already know it. If you are less than six-feet tall, your coat length will be a regular. If you are over six-feet tall, your coat length will be a long.

Sport coats add style to the way you look. So, it is very important to have the actual size of the sport coats that you’re going to wear. With these simple steps, you will probably have a sport coat that is best for you, whatever other garments you will pair with it.

You shouldn't worry about measuring your size. Instead, go to a tailor and have them fit the suit for you.
