Things to consider when buying a suit

a list of points on things to consider when trying to fit a suit

How a suit should fit

1
Snug in the shoulders

Make sure the suit fits close in the shoulder, without extending past your own.

2
Close in the chest

You should be able to easily button your jacket with about one fist’s worth of space in the chest.

3
Slim arms

Sleeves should fit comfortably without excess bunching at the elbows.

4
Wrist length sleves

The sleeve should end at the wrist joint with ½ inch of your shirt cuff showing.

5
Perfect jacket length

You should easily be able to cup your hands around the bottom of the jacket.

6
Trim in the legs

Suit trousers should fit comfortable without sagging or bunching

7
Hit at the shoes

Legs should fall at the top of the shoes in the front and just over the top of the heel in the back.

How to wear a suit

Leave your bottom button undone, to give the jacket a slimmer line.

Always make sure that the end of your tie sits just above the belt line.

Ensure that your belt and your shoes match in tonality and colour.

Ensure you have an area of focus. ie. Wear a bold shirt with a plain tie and suit.
