Five Secrets of the Perfect Suit

A suit can be a man’s best friend or worst enemy, depending on how it is fitting you and how much it would suit your body structure.

In fact, if there is any attire for men that enhances their personality and look good for every occasion – be it wedding, office, date (just that you have to tone it down or up according to the place and occasion), then it would be a suit.

So, if you have ever gone for a suit shopping and wondered if there are some rules to know that a suit fits and looks perfectly for your body shape, then let us help you with some tips here. There are definitely no fixed rules but we have some cheats for you to keep in mind to make your shopping experience more convenient and fulfilling.

1.      Keep It Classy and Simple

Suits are your second skin and just like the first one, the more comfortable and confident you will feel in your attire, the more it will enhance your personality. Before you get swayed with the patterns and funky color options, make sure that you have the basics in your wardrobe. No matter what the occasion is, you can never go wrong with a suit in solid shades. And when it comes to choosing the fabrics, go with something that fits that season.

2.     Find Your Fit

Always wear a suit that would fit you just right. In fact, it is recommended that you go for a custom made suit so that it is fitting well. Never go for something that is too tight or baggy thinking that it might fit you some day. Just follow the 2 golden and simple rules to find the suit of right fit:

·        The shoulder seam of your jacket should end when your shoulder ends.

·        Your jacket sleeves’ length should be 1/4^th less that the length of your shirt sleeves.

3.     Understand Your Jackets

Always wear your suit’s jacket with a matching pair of trousers and a smart pair of shoes. If you want to go contrast with your jacket color, then go for a sports jacket. Remember that for a jacket to give you a slimmer and smart look, it has to fit you perfectly. As for the rules of buttoning your jackets, keep just these two things in mind:

·        Always remember to unbutton your jacket while you are sitting.

·        IF you are wearing a jacket with three buttons, make sure that you are keeping the last button open always.

4.     Pick Your Trousers Carefully

The problem that most of the people face is not finding perfect fit trousers. Do not settle for the lose ones as they give a very baggy look. Get your trousers custom tailors so they fit you properly. Also remember that if you are shorter in height then don’t get too many pleats on your trouser as pleats combined with cuffs don’t look good on shorter men at all.

5.     Opt for Navy Blue as Your First Suit

If you do not have the budget to purchase multiple suits at once, go for a navy blue as your first suit without a thought. You can wear it at any occasion and you can pair it up with shirt of any color and we can assure you that you will never go wrong with it.

Just keep these points handy whether you are getting a tailor made suit or buying it off-the-rack and you would never regret your purchase.
