đŸ€”How to fit in a suitđŸ€”

Welcome! To

Today we are going to talk about the way a suit should fit and what is best for different body types! Different styles of suits will fit on your body differently
 and if your suit is just to big or just to small the whole look will be off and unprofessional!

When you try on a suit, try to stand in your “Natural stance” this would be how you stand the most often, just let your body stand natural, your muscle memory will help you with this.

A well-fitted shoulder lies flat. The seam on top of the shoulder should be the same length as the bone under it, and should meet the sleeve of the suit right where your arm meets your shoulder.

If the seam that connects the sleeve to the jacket is hiked up along your shoulder bone, or dangling down on your upper bicep, the jacket is never going to sit properly. In these instances, you’ll see “ripple effects” that create lumps or wrinkles on the sleeve and the top of the jacket. If you can’t move your arms well, or if you cannot pinch just the jacket, it is too small. If the shoulder seam of the jacket is below your shoulder, or the sleeves run farther than 1/2 an inch past your wrist than the jacket is too big.

The trouser break is the bottom of your pants, below the pants cuff. Pants have a couple signs of them being too big or too small. Sometimes the most obvious one is the trouser break, they should rest slightly on the top of your shoes.  If it doesn’t go to the top of your shoes it is too small, and if it goes below the middle of your heel it is too big. You don’t want your pant bottoms to drag on the ground, you will step on them, they will rip and tear and it looks tacky. Looking Tacky isn’t ideal when wearing a suit!

The jacket collar should rest easily on the back on your neck and shoulders. If it hangs farther back, or is bunched up causing “ripples” behind your neck, the jacket is too big. If it is tight and has little scrunches the jacket is too small. 

When your jacket is buttoned make sure it isn’t making an “x” as shown above. This means the jacket is too tight! It is pulling all the extra fabric it can find to make the button fit.

The shoulder divots will appear on your arms, usually on your biceps if the jacket is too small. The perfect fit jacket will not have any creases.

A single–breasted item has a narrow overlap and only one column of buttons. 

A double–breasted garment is a coat, jacket, or vest with wide, overlapping front flaps which has on its front two symmetrical columns of buttons. Double-breasted suits have a more sophisticated look.

A lounge suit is basically just a little looser. It is more of a hipster look, you’d wear this to class after stopping and studying for your test at Starbucks drinking a cappuccino.

Business suits are usually a navy blue or a shade of grey, but sometimes on a more serious note they are black. 

Your suit should fit correctly of course, but the color also plays a huge roll in how serious or not you look.

 In a Mandarin collar suit – the collar is a short unfolded stand-up style on a shirt or jacket. 
 The edges of the collar either barely meet at the center front or overlap slightly. They are usuallly worn by someone with a religious education or responsibility.

Wedding suits are commonly known as Tuxedos. Tuxedos are considered evening wear, and if you’re having a brunch or daytime wedding, a suit will be more appropriate. If your wedding starts during the day but ends in the evening, either a suitor a tuxedo will make a fine choice. If the wedding or event is in the evening a tuxedo is a fancy and fine way to make your way into the spot light and impress all.

A dinner suit is also commonly known as “The Black Tie Dress Code” This just means you are dressing up to feast with your friends

We hope we helped you find the best suit for you! If you have any questions please reach out!
