Five things to keep in mind when trying on suits
The good news is that there is definitely a suit for you. The downside is that it can be a daunting effort trying to find it. To help you find your perfect match, we checked online stores and markets, and even surveyed real people, to find exactly what's different about each brand's version. The result is a practical guide that classifies suits by price, fit, style, and occasion.
THE SHOULDER
If your shoulders don't fit you when you first try it on, try a different outfit; it is one of the things that a tailor cannot easily fix for you.
To get the correct fit, first, with your arms hanging down at the sides, check that the seam where the jacket sleeve meets the shoulder aligns exactly with the outermost point of your shoulder. If it's too comfortable, don't worry, that means it fits you well and won't give you sad linebacker shoulders. In fact, it is suggested that you should always try on a jacket size smaller than you think as men generally go overboard.
Then raise your arms and move them a bit to make sure the armhole is comfortable, but also know that the suit will loosen (a bit) over time. A good suit will fit and mimic your natural body shape.
JACKET LENGTH
An easy way to tell if the length is correct is to try on the jacket and turn your hands towards the body, then try to grab the hem; You should be able to easily wrap the top two knuckles around the bottom of the jacket. . Another test: with arms relaxed at your sides and wrists hanging loosely, clench your fists; knuckles should be at or slightly shorter at the hem.
THE SLEEVE
The end of the jacket sleeve should touch just where your thumb connects to your wrist, enough room to allow a strip of shirt to peek through.
BUTTONS
Two-button jackets are the most common and most versatile type - the optimal choice for storing a wardrobe. (Just remember to always keep the top buttoned and the bottom unbuttoned - buttoning both is a major style failure.) The three button jackets are a bit heavier and conversely the one button suits look very relaxed, even in fashion. Double-breasted suits are also making a comeback. More formal and flashy, they tend to give the torso a more boxer look, so we suggest you bring a really honest friend if you're trying one out.
THE HEM OF THE TROUSERS
There is a bit of wiggle room here in the proper fit, depending on how much "tear" you like - that is, the amount of fabric crease there is when the pants hit your shoe or the floor. . Today, no break is the cleanest and most modern look, which means that the pants should end just around the ankle bone, without leaving any indentation from the extra fabric resting on the shoe. The flashier, edgy styles are even shorter for a bit of a cut.
