Getting the Perfect Fit

When shopping for your clothes, the basic thing to remember is to select the right size that compliments your frame. You may pick out the best looking suit, jacket or trousers – but if it is does not fit perfectly, the investment will be in vain.

In men’s wear, fitting to perfection is the primary necessity. When selecting a suit, here are the three key guidelines you need to know:

• Select a suit that complements your body type. The body structure of every man is different and can be categorized as slender, athletic, fat, and pear-shaped. The suit should be matched to the body type so that it does not look ill fitted.

• Pick the right fabric for your suit. You can choose from a variety of fabrics such as wool, linen, cotton etc. in accordance to your liking and seasonal trends. In fact, the texture of the fabric is also decided by the shape of your body.

• The measurements must be right. A man’s suit needs perfect measurements of your body so that it covers your frame in an elegant fashion.

A proper neck line is a must in men’s wear: As you browse through the racks of men’s dress shirts and tees, make sure that the neck line is proper and looks good on you. Stand straight and measure your neckline beforehand to ensure you get the right size.

A shirt that is too big or small towards the front mostly results in a crumpled look. When buying a dress shirt, measure your chest line first so that you get the best fit. Also measure the length of the shoulders to ensure a well fitted yet relaxed look that gives you confidence.

Trousers make for an important element of the man’s look, especially to give you that sophisticated form you desire. From pleated men’s trousers to plain fronted ones, there is a wide variety for you to select in accordance to your structure, liking and comfort.

Suit your body type. The structure of every man is different. You can look impressive regardless of your frame type provided your clothes fit you well.

The way you look and present yourself is something that potentially impacts your success for both men and women. The suit has been a staple component for years; but whether you are buying suits in accordance to the season or to fit some event, it is important that you get the measurements correct.
