At its beginning, mass-produced clothing was never meant to replace the work of a good tailor. It was simply a cost and time-saving shortcut, with alterations assumed to be required. While off-the-rack styles have evolved over the years, you still can’t beat the work of a tailor for a truly flattering fit. For over thirty years, 6 Avenue Tailor has been helping New Yorkers look their best, with affordable alterations and beautifully tailored clothing.

Read on for their insights on how a tailor can help you achieve a look you’ll love:

• You Are Not Generic: Off-the-rack pieces are built for average frames and average sizes. Since no one is truly “average,” these pieces fit exactly no one perfectly. Taking pieces to a tailor for a few alterations will help you get the most flattering fit. Tailored clothing makes you look and feel better with a confidence-boosting closet that will have you ready to take on the world.
• Revive Your Favorites: Form a relationship with a good tailor, and you’ll never have to bid goodbye to an old favorite again. When beloved pieces start to look a little worn, a few artful alterations can bring them back to life. They can also take those out-of-style pieces from the back of your closet and revamp them with a fresh, modern look.
• First Impressions Matter: There’s a reason they call it “looking smart.” Tailored clothing doesn’t just help you look put together. It helps you look like you’ve got it together. Whether it’s a major meeting or that big date, a tailor can help you give a first impression that will blow them away. The extra confidence you’ll feel after you see your reflection in a flattering fit won’t hurt either.
