Actually, for a high-end tailor-made (from scratch) suit, yes, the tailor takes the "dress" into account.

For an off-the-rack suit that will be altered (or an off-the-rack pair of p@nts or je@ns), then one is stuck with making sure they are comfortable to wear before walking out the door with them - the cut and design of the basic garment is going to be key (as is getting the proper size by trying it on, not just by grabbing the "34X32 I always wear").
