“The secret to living in a big city is to always wear a suit, because then you can go to the toilet anywhere. Everyone will say, “Sir, nice to see you again.” Paul Feig. But the main thing is to buy a suit that fits well on your figure. Let's figure out what a man needs to pay attention to.
Signs of an ideal suit
If you are thinking of wearing a suit, then first of all you should think about its cut. After all, it is the cut that makes a suit ideal for a man. Try to pay attention to all the details of the costume. Don't forget about the material and color too.
How should a shirt fit?
Initially, you need to pay attention to the size, the shirt must be selected strictly according to the body. There should be no hanging fabric either on the sleeves or at the waist when tucking into trousers.
The collar must be fastened to the top button without creating discomfort or squeezing the neck.
Advice. If the shirt is the right size for you, but the collar is constricting your neck, wear it without fastening the button, or tie the collar together with a tie.This will hide the undone button.
It is necessary that the sleeves of the shirt do not look like “culottes” from the time of Louis XIII. But at the same time they should not restrict movement.
The sleeve should end exactly at the wrist. At the same time, he cannot hide accessories such as watches and bracelets.
The shoulder seam should be located at the highest line of the shoulder. Otherwise, it will create discomfort when moving your hand.
How should pants fit?
An important element of the suit is the trousers. They come in high, low or medium waist. In order to understand what kind of waist a model has, it is necessary to wear trousers so that the seam between the legs is extremely close to the body, but does not interfere with movement.
The cut must be chosen so that the back of the trousers fits snugly to the body, but does not squeeze.
Next, consider the length of the trousers. Put on your pants and look at the arrows. If they lie on your shoes and at the same time create a crease, then they are right for you. If there are two or more creases, then you should find a shorter one.
If after trying on you are satisfied with everything, but the waist or length of the trousers is too big, you should take it for alteration.
Important! When walking, socks should not be visible from under your trousers.
It should also be remembered that uneven arrows create the appearance of curvature of the legs.
How should a jacket fit?
The main element of the elegance of a suit is the jacket. It is he who creates the overall picture during visual contact. Therefore, you need to take full responsibility when choosing a jacket.
Always pay attention to the gate. The collar should not be high, otherwise it will cover the shirt collar when you decide to sit down. This will affect the appearance. The collar should also fit neatly around the neck, but not restrict head movements.
Next we look at the shoulders.The shoulder line of the jacket should match the line of your shoulders and end at the edge of the shoulder.
Among tailors there is such a word as “armhole”, it means the width of the sleeve at the junction with the jacket. You should pay attention to its width. If it is too wide for your hands, it will create inconvenience when moving.
Now let's consider jacket length. There are many opinions and private rules about how long a jacket should be chosen. The correct length directly depends on the fit of the trousers.
If you wear high-waisted trousers, keep in mind that a men's jacket should completely hide your butt.
For a medium and low waist, a jacket is suitable that will emphasize the buttocks, but will not reveal them completely. It should only cover the top part.
The issue of the jacket's silhouette is also important. With the wrong cut, you will appear square and chopped; with a very narrow suit, it will simply be uncomfortable. Put on your jacket, lower your arms and look in the mirror.
If there is a space of 2-3 cm between the sleeves and the waist and the jacket does not press, then everything is correct. Try buttoning the top button of your jacket and placing your hand in the inside pocket. The palm should be difficult to clench into a fist. Do not forget about the length of the sleeve; the shirt cuffs should protrude 1-2 cm from under it.
Useful tips
- Never put anything larger than a card wallet in your inside pocket, otherwise it will stand out.
- You should not put coins in your trouser pocket; they jingle when you walk.
- Shoes must be chosen in dark colors, preferably made of genuine leather, without thick soles.
