There is an official business trip next week and I will lead the team. A colleague thinks that I don't have a decent suit and suggested that I buy a new one. I went to the Hailanzhijia under my building office and bought a pair of leather shoes, a trouser and a shirt. The leather shoes cost more than 400 CNY, the trousers and the shirts each cost more than 300 CNY. I think they are very expensive and I have never bought such expensive clothes. What surprised me is that the shirt is attached to a layer of velvet inside. This is the first time I know that there is this kind of shirt. It is very suitable to wear in the season between autumn and winter. I look better in this suit.

I wasn't sure if you meant for this to be a statement or not.

It sounds odd to use "better", as it is a comparative word. Since you have not established wearing any other type of clothes, it is sufficient to just say you look good in this suit.
