In the real estate world, a realtor’s image is on par with the importance of their skills and industry savvy.
Luckily, Vancouver-based INDOCHINO, the global leader in custom made-to-measure apparel, has the stylish set of realtors covered, offering customized suits that don't just draw compliments, but make dressing for any occasion — and any season — simple. This means everything from the office to an open house, to evening dinners or drinks with clients, any month of the year.
No matter the occasion or the weather, colour and materials play an important role in dressing for success. From INDOCHINO, realtors can secure multiple seasons of chic and custom-tailored items in a plethora of fabrics and cuts. And the best part? Looking suave won't break the bank. The brand's made-to-measure suits – which start at $499 CAD – look like they cost much more than they actually do.
But, more affordable doesn’t mean proverbial corners are cut – quite the opposite, in fact. Purchasing a capsule wardrobe collection at INDOCHINO involves a completely customized experience. With over 150 fabrics to choose from(!), clients can create a look that's uniquely theirs. The brand has grown to feature their signature impeccable showrooms in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Ottawa (plus many more across North America), ready to help clients look and feel their best.

The Showroom Experience
Stepping into an INDOCHINO showroom is like entering a stylish haven, tailored for the modern real estate agent. Fitting rooms with ample space allow for movement, to admire custom-made looks comfortably. The decor reflects an elegant-yet-classic vibe, creating an atmosphere that's both inviting and sophisticated, where clients can explore fabrics, try on different styles, and receive personalized (and honest) guidance. Upping the ante even further, these sleek showrooms are conveniently located in some of the most desirable neighbourhoods.
INDOCHINO’s personal consultation process is designed to be easy and enjoyable from start to finish. It all begins with the brand’s Style Guides, who take the time to understand individual needs and preferences. Whether you're looking for a suit for a special event, a job interview, or simply to elevate your work wardrobe for the season, they'll recommend the best options for you.
Whether you prefer a classic, timeless look, or a bold, fashion-forward statement, there’s quite literally something for everyone. Their made-to-measure process ensures that a suit fits impeccably, highlighting clients' best features and giving them the confidence to take on any challenge – including closing the biggest deals.

With the brand’s simple appointment system, clients can look forward to a whole hour of dedicated one-on-one time with a Style Guide, ensuring personalized and expert guidance. Because, while one of the biggest draws of INDOCHINO is the wide range of fabrics, styles, and customization options, the choices can be challenging to navigate solo.
Style Guides take the time to understand a customer’s unique style and aspirations, and craft a garment that complements their body shape and individual preferences, ensuring the end result really reflects who they are.

Style Guides strategically inquire about client tastes — favourite clothing brands, celebs, or athletes whose looks resonate with them — to define their style. They'll also inquire about the specific occasions a client will be wearing the suit for, helping them choose the right fabric, style, and details for each event. They'll even offer tips on how to accessorize a suit to complete a look.

The Timeline
From booking an appointment to final adjustments, the process takes about three weeks, with the total time varying slightly depending on customizations and shipping destinations. Generally, INDOCHINO reps suggest booking a showroom appointment about a week ahead of your preferred visit. A made-to-measure suit or summer capsule collection typically takes two to three weeks to be crafted and shipped to your doorstep.
Finally, in the rare case that minor adjustments are required, those usually take about a week. Most of the time, they can be done directly in a showroom.
Those in the market for a suit for a special occasion (work-related travel, a major meeting, or the like) should schedule an appointment at least six weeks in advance, to allow for ample time for each step of the process.

The Wardrobe Staples
For realtors, INDOCHINO offers a range of wardrobe must-haves and nice-to-haves that can elevate one’s professional image — and leave a lasting impression on clients. It all comes down to the staples.
- Essential Suits: A navy or charcoal grey suit is a must-have for any realtor. These classic yet versatile colours can be dressed up or down and are appropriate for a variety of occasions, from open houses to client meetings.
- Crisp Shirts: White and light blue shirts are classic choices that pair well with any suit. Opt for high-quality fabrics like cotton or linen for a polished look.
- Everyday Chinos: For a more casual look, consider adding chinos in khaki or navy to your wardrobe. These versatile pants can be dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with a sweater.
- Statement Suits: Once you have your essential suits, consider adding a few statement pieces to your collection. A patterned suit in a subtle check or plaid can add personality to your wardrobe and make you stand out.
- Outerwear: Imagine having your very own made-to-measure trench or overcoat. Beyond suits and complementing pieces, INDOCHINO offers a selection of outerwear at affordable prices.
- Seasonal Blazers: A linen blazer for summer or a tweed blazer for winter can add a touch of sophistication to your outfits and keep you looking stylish year-round.
- Accessories: Don't forget the finishing touches! A pocket square, tie, or lapel pin can elevate your look and showcase your attention to detail.
While it may sound daunting to curate a versatile capsule wardrobe on your own, INDOCHINO's Style Guides can help you create a wardrobe that perfectly balances professionalism and personal style, ensuring that you always look and feel your best while representing your clients.
