With regards to men’s suits and formal wear, one style certainly does not fit all. A correctly fitted suit can change not only a man’s posture, but also their mentality and confidence. Of course, buying a suit can be quite the daunting task. The wrong fit can be completely unflattering, choose the wrong pattern and you might look too flashy, accessories incorrectly and your wardrobe can fall apart. This guide will give you an introduction as to how to figure out the correct style for you.

The Classic Fit Suit:

For  those who prefer a less attention-grabbing garment, a classic fit suit  is a great option to explore. They are specifically crafted to be  comfortable in feel and unrestricted in cut, this popular men’s suit style affords breath ability and mobility without resorting to a baggy or shabby aesthetic. A classic fit suit is an ideal choice for the wearer looking for an outfit that is perfect for the office Monday to Friday. A style secret is to combine a classic fit jacket with chinos or upscale jeans for a sophisticated yet casual weekend look.

The Slim Fit Suit:

A quality men’s slim fit suit artfully sheds any loose, unnecessary fabric. This results in a form-fitting men’s suit that’s wider at the chest and more narrow at the waist with an elegant taper. A common misconception is that a slim fit suit is only meant for a slim built man, however, the truth is that many different male body types can flatteringly fit in a slim fit suit This is due largely in part to the face that a men’s slim fit suit –while true to the body’s natural contours– leaves enough space between the garment and the wearer. This prevents an overly tight appearance.

The Modern Fit Suit:

A modern fir suit is ideal for the wearer looking for a sophisticated look that is in between the form fitting slim fit and the more relaxed classic fit. The result is a popular tight, clean appearance. With the correct accessories, a modern fit suit can be extremely versatile. One could wear a modern fit suit to a variety business and formal occasions and holidays.

The Single Breasted Suit:

Among men’s suit types, the single-breasted suit is the by far the most ubiquitous. The easiest way to spot one is to look for a single row of buttons along the seam. By nature of the single row of buttons, a single-breasted suit tends to lend itself to a narrower and tighter appearance.  Single-breasted suit wearers tend to follow a pretty ubiquitous set of rules with regards to how their particular type of suit should be buttoned. For a one-button suit, the button should be clasped when the wearer is standing, and unbuttoned when sitting. With regards to a two-button suit, the top button should be clasped when the wearer is standing, unbutton the top button when sitting, and never fasten the lower button. When wearing a three-button suit, the top button is optional, the middle remains clasped at all times, and the lower button is never fastened.

The Double Breasted Suit:

In distinction from the single-breasted suit, the double-breasted suit boasts an additional row of buttons on either side of the jacket strictly for aesthetic reasons. The total number of buttons ranges from four to eight but is most commonly six. Due to the extra row buttons, the viewer’s eyes move from the inner seam toward the sides of the wearer. This creates the illusion of a wider or torso. Hopefully this brief post has shed some light on the vast subject of men’s suits. No matter the cut or color, it is most important for the wearer to buy what works for their own, unique features.
