How to choose a suit

A good suit can be expensive, but it will last you a lifetime. Therefore it is important to take the time to make the right choice when buying a suit. The fabric, the cut, and the type of suit all have a big bearing on the overall look of a suit.

The number of buttons on a suit can have big affect on its appearance. Generally, the more buttons a suit has, the taller you will look when wearing it. Because of this, single button suits are only really suitable for tall men.

Two button suits are one of the most flattering styles, and as a result they will never go out of fashion. They make the wearer seem taller and slimmer, and their flattering nature is the key to their popularity.

Three button suits were out of fashion for much of the 2000s, but they are back in with a bang now. They add a lot of height, but they do not usually suit people with short waists.

The shoulder shape is an important consideration. Some suits have shoulder padding that stops at the natural end of the shoulder bone. Others, particularly British-made suits, continue the shoulder padding down past the shoulder bone into the sleeve. This creates the illusion of broader shoulders.

Lapels come in various shapes, with the most popular being the notched lapel. In 2009, the peaked lapel made a big comeback due to its ability to create that much coveted v-shape to a suit, and this trend looks set to continue into 2010.

The type of fabric is perhaps the most immediately noticeable thing about a suit. It can also have a big bearing on when you will be able to wear it. Cotton and linen are great lightweight fabrics, making them a good choice for wearing during the summer.

Wool is the preferred suit fabric as it is long lasting, available in a variety of blends and designs, and is the most crease-resistant natural fibre available.
