Things To Consider When Choosing a Men's Suit

Planning to buy a new men's suit? Whether it's for business or just normal everyday wear, a suit will enhance your look while providing you with greater self-esteem. But with so many different suits available, how do you know which one to choose? Fabric One of the first things you should consider when choosing a suit is the fabric. Suits are available in a wide of different fabrics, including cotton, twill, and corded wool just to name a few. While some men prefer the comfort of wearing lighter suits, others prefer the bold look of a wool blend. There's no such thing as a single "best" type of suit material, so choose the one that you enjoy wearing the most. Pants Don't forget about your trousers when choosing a suit. A good rule of thumb is to place two fingers inside the waistline of your trousers when you initially try them on. If you can fit both fingers inside, the trousers are an appropriate size. However, if you can fit more than two fingers, they are two big and you need to go down a size. There's nothing more uncomfortable than being forced to wear tight-fitted trousers for eight or more hours per day, so make sure they are the appropriate size. Sleeve Length Pay close attention to the sleeve length of your suit. A proper suit should have sleeves that don't bunch up into a mess around the cuff, as this will make you look unprofessional. So, what's the proper sleeve length for a men's suit? Ideally, it should show just a small amount of the cuff when your arms are resting by your sides. Hemming Trousers A good rule of thumb when choosing suit trousers is to find a pair that are about a quarter of an inch off the floor when you wearing them. They should just barely touch the top of the heal for a clean, well-manicured look. Suit Fit We saved the most important for last: the suit fit. Whether you sit or stand, your suit should be comfortable enough to wear when you sit or stand in it the entire day. Furthermore, it shouldn’t restrict your arm movement and should be easy to move around in. To tell if a suit is the right size, try it on and lift both arms up to see if it restricts movement. If it does, pass and move on to the next suit.
