Gala season is upon us, and while our eyes will be on ladies in towering heels and glamorous gowns, their eyes will be on the most suave guys in the room.
In order to stay on top of your game, you'll need that perfect suit: slim but not tight, pants that just graze the top of your shoes, no more than an inch of cuff showing.
Finding that suit can be tricky, but we've made it easier by rounding up the best places to get finely tailored garments in NYC. Look through our slideshow to see where you can get the only suit and shirt you'll ever need.
Martin Greenfield Clothiers
For over 60 years, Martin Greenfield has been serving the most sartorially inclined with some of the finest tailored clothing.
Bill Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, and Paul Newman, as well as brands like Band of Outsiders and Rag & Bone have all commissioned Mr. Greenfield to make suits for them, indicating his true mastery of the process.

Seize sur Vingt
Founded in 1998 by James Jurney, Seize sur Vingt quickly became the go-to alternative to Turnbull & Asser for the downtown crowd.
The Soho boutique offers suits, sportswear, shoes, and accessories for men and women, but the finely crafted shirts, worn by stylish guys like Robert Pattinson and Waris Ahluwalia, are the main attraction here.

Lanvin
Last month, luxury Parisian label Lanvin opened its first men's flagship on Madison Avenue. Here, you can buy the brands coveted, ready-to-wear pieces, but the new suiting section is what grabbed our attention.
A whole floor dedicated to made-to-measure and bespoke suiting, with some of the best fabrics and detailing, has us pinching pennies and skipping a few meals in pursuit of one.
