GUIDELINES IN SHOPPING FOR A SUIT

A man should own at least five suits. That’s a formal portion of every man’s wardrobe. For obvious reasons, your suit must be of excellent quality. But buying a suit can be intimidating. I guess you will find the following the guidelines in shopping for a suit useful.
(i) Consider the fabric: A 100% wool suit is definitely the way to go since wool is natural, breathes well, it is extremely stylish and excellent for travels.
(2) Take note of the collar: Your suit collar should hug the back of your neck without buckling or pulling on your shirt. Your shirt should stick out an inch from the back of your collar.
(3) Watch out those lapels: Suit lapels are an extension of a suit’s collar. They can have both a high and low notch as long as they are flat on your chest, discreet and don’t buckle. The stitching on the lapel should be as invisible as possible. While letting your arms hang on your sides, your sleeves should end where your hands meet your wrist. You should be able to move your hands freely and comfortably. Your shirt sleeves should be a quarter-inch longer than your suit jacket.
(4) Choose a one or two button jacket. Currently, a two-button jacket is in vogue. One button jackets are better suited for men with slimmer physique. Three button jackets appear outdated.
(5) Vents or slits are the flaps of cloth below the waist at the back. They should cover your entire rear end and should never be separated unless you are bending or sitting down. It should lie flat against your backside when you are standing straight. A larger individual should choose a jacket with two slits, while a thinner man should opt for a jacket with no slits.
(6) You should be able to stick one finger into the waist of your suit pants and feel comfortable on you.
(7) Pleats should be avoided. Flat front trousers are better. Suits trousers should fall to the soles of the soles.
(8) Cuffed pants look better on taller men. Cuff will also help your pants hang properly. If you are somewhat shorter, avoid them together as they will only highlight your shorter stature.
(9) The length from the crotch to the waistband is called the rise. Generally, avoid extremes such as high-rise pants or low-rise trousers.
(10) Too long is just bad as too baggy. You never want your suit to reach down to your knees. It should come to just below your bottom or slightly higher.
Following the above guidelines in shopping for a suit will help you get the kind of suit, you really desire.
