Being well-dressed costs money. But for a lawyer, looking tailored and professional in an attractive, well-fitting suit is a worthwhile investment, Tony and Tara Costanzo say.
That message has put the 30-something married couple in business, helping several hundred clients including numerous lawyers in the New York area, order the right clothes without ever having to shop for them, reports the Connecticut Law Tribune in an article reprinted in New York Lawyer (reg. req.).
The Costanzos will meet busy clients as and where needed, and once held a clothing consultation in a courthouse restroom. Then they order the right clothes, in the right size. Ready-made suits start at just under $500; custom-made suits begin at close to $1,000 for men and $1,500 for women.
Generally, professionals need fashion consultation and shopping assistance for one of three reasons, says Tara Costanzo: “They don’t have time to shop. They don’t like to shop. Or they have fit issues.”
