No-Brainer Suit

This is basically the man’s version of the little black dress. We can call it unofficially as a ” no-brainersuit “. It works during the day and night as well. It works at every occasion you’d wear a suit to. But you should make sure you’re getting the right shade of gray—not one that’s light and summery, and definitely not a somber charcoal. You need a gray that’s right down the middle. When in doubt, wear it with a white shirt and dark solid tie and—like Cary Grant here—you’re always going to be the best-dressed guy in the room

Styles That Help You Stand Out

• If you want a double-breasted suit to look modern—and not like something from a gangster flick—keep it short and trim. And avoid Dick Tracy-grade shoulder pads, too.

• Keep the jacket buttoned (including the interior button). It doesn’t hang well when undone.

• And unlike with single-breasted suits, unless you want to look like a singer in the ’80s , go for a higher-cut six-button suit instead of a low-slung four-button model.

How to match your shape

Consider the man in the images below

Before

• An overly roomy suit—even a pricey one like this—makes you look sloppy.

• Try avoiding long suit jackets. They actually make your legs look shorter.

• Excess fabric, especially below the knee, looks bulky.

After – Tips used

• Wear a pocket square. It brings the focus to your chest, not your belly.

• A lower button stance creates long lines, essentially stretching you out.

• Show some cuff to lengthen the look of your arms.

• A pant leg with very little break will help you look taller.

• Big man, solid shoe. Choose shoes that have a substantial sole. You need something to anchor your weight.

What’s the right fit, and how do you get it?

A. Take It from the Top
A good suit should hug your shoulders, not slouch off them. Most guys think they’re a size larger than they are—say, a 42 regular instead of a 40. When buying a suit, go ahead and try sizing down. When you pull on the jacket, there should be a firmness to it. You should snap to attention and stand taller. If it doesn’t fit right in the shoulders, don’t buy it.

B. Lose the Flab
Think about the width of the sleeves. At Suit Fullstop, we have a tailor slim down the sleeves, trimming them of excess fabric. It cuts a mean figure.

C. Show Some Cuff
Your suit sleeves should end just above the hinges of your wrists, so a quarter to half inch of shirt cuff shows. It’s like the frame on a painting—the elegant finishing touch.

D. Taper, Taper & Taper
Your jacket should contour to your body. Have a tailor nip it at the sides. This will accentuate your shoulders—whether you’ve got strong ones or not.

E. Break It Down
We like flat-front pants, cut slim, with very little break at the ankle. This produces a long, clean look. Your pants should just clip the tops of your shoes, not bunch up over them.
