How To Choose A Suit Designer
Choosing a designer suit is a hard skill to master. There are so many choices on the market today that many men get confused and are left to the mercy of their salesman. This can be good at times, but not always.
I wrote this article to teach you everything you need to know about the basics of buying a designer suit. Use the knowledge contained below to make your next suit buying purchase more satisfying than ever.
Suit Designers always start their designs at the lapels and shoulders. They will add large width lapels to vintage suits, medium width to contemporary, and narrow width to newer designs.
Men with medium builds can get away with almost any size lapel but should make sure they find a suit with a natural slope to it. Some suits to look at are Coppley, Mantoni, and Zanetti. These designers all provide a unique look while still maintaining a nice size lapel and shoulder spread for the medium sized man.
Large men need to look into getting broader lapels and lightly padded shoulders. Suits to consider are Haggar, Bill Blass, and Perry Ellis. These designers provide a nice lineup for the over sized man.
Thin men should look into more aggressive looks with thick shoulder pads and narrow lapels. This look can be found in any Jones of New York, Sean John, Michael Kors, or Kenneth Cole suit. These suits make thin men look more muscular and fit.
Pants can be one of three different styles. Look to find models with pleats, double pleats, and flat fronts. These styles should be chosen based off your particular build.
Thin men should flaunt their lean legs with a style of pants that comes in a flat front model. Wear pants without button pockets on the back and opt for only one slit pocket. This will show off a leaner body rather than hide it behind a pair of pleats and button down pockets.
The medium sized man can wear any style of pants he deems appropriate. However, this man should take into account the type and style jacket he chooses to accompany the suit pants.
Big men would be advised to buy a suit with pleats or double pleats. Pleated pants do a great job at drawing attention to the suit rather than the mans leg. These pants are perfect for making anyone look fit.
