How To Buy A Suit That Fits
A men's suit is essential in any wardrobe — single or double-breasted, a dinner suit for formal evenings, a linen suit for summer, or a tweed suit for winter. The right fit is everything. Here are the secrets to dressing well.
How to tell your suit fits
- 01Your flat hand should slip easily into your suit under the lapels when the top or middle button is fastened.
- 02The top button of a two-button suit — or the middle button of a three-button suit — should not fall below your navel.
- 03Jacket sleeves should end just above the large bone in your wrist.
- 04The shoulder seam fits correctly on your shoulder — no lumps or wrinkles means it isn't fitting correctly.
- 05Between a quarter and half an inch of shirt cuff should be visible.
- 06Shoulder pads end with your shoulders.
- 07Slide your thumb between the button and your stomach — slightly tight is the right size; loose means adjust, too tight means size up.
- 08The lapels should lie flat on your chest. A gap between jacket and shirt collar means another size — or another suit style.
The type of lapel
| Notch Lapel | Peak Lapel | Shawl Lapel | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Defined by a notch where the bottom of the collar meets the top of the lapel, generally at a 75–90° angle. | Edges pointing forwards and towards the shoulders; traditionally the most formal lapel, originally common in tailcoats and morning coats. | Single-rounded edge, most seen on dinner jackets or tuxedos. Can be worn in more informal occasions depending on colour. |
| Best Occasion | Business suits; a great piece for job interviews. | Weddings, formal dinners, black tie events, or whenever you want to dress up a bit. | Weddings, dinners, black tie events, proms, red carpet galas. |
| Best For | All body types; slim notch lapels flatter and maintain the proportions of a slimmer frame. | All body types; great for shorter men — the point of a peak lapel can create the effect of adding height. | Perhaps not recommended if you have a round face or body — it brings attention to the body shape. |
The number of buttons
Jackets can include one, two, or three buttons. The two-button is the most versatile; three-button suits a taller frame.
Double-breasted suits
Two parallel rows of buttons superimposed on chest and belly. Only one row is usually functional; the jacket is worn buttoned.
