Which suit to buy

In a slim-fit construction and a micro-checked virgin wool fabrication, this suit is going to be insulating and flexible to wear, making it an ideal pick for office work and commuting alike. Bored of classic suiting? Then let Asos Design slip in with something a little more avant-garde.

Defined by its cinched waist and wide leg, this suit in sage green has been crafted from a soft twill made with recycled polyester from plastic bottles and textile waste. In fact, something about it reads as a fashion-forward Luke Skywalker… The style is strong with this one. At asos. Made in a slim fit, this suit is cut from pure merino cloth, woven with a soft finish, and is shaped for a natural drape over your body that will mould to your silhouette with repeated wear.

Putting a twist on traditional styles, this light blue suit from Moss brings a contemporary spirit to old-school suiting. In a checked tweed construction and slim-fit silhouette, this suit brings tweed into the s with its pale hue and attention to detail. Keep it suave layered with a knitted rollneck, or take it in a more casual direction with a tonal blue T-shirt. Constructed from strong and durable wool, this suit should be styled with a crisp white dress shirt and chunky shoes to instil your look with a young, creative feel.

This suit has summer in the city written all over it. Cut in a slim fit, it's not just a suit but two separates that'll provide the utmost versatility in your smart-casual wardrobe. Keep your look tonal, match with neutral shades and, for good measure, add tennis shoes to keep things contemporary. Paul Smith suits are the blueprint to a lot of classic British tailoring. This violet two-piece is reminiscent of the s, sans flares.

To keep the contemporary spin going, style it with a printed Cuban-collar shirt and loafers. Pure cotton breeds pure style. When it comes to styling, take a subtle approach with a polo shirt or white dress shirt , but forego a tie.

Suave elegance only. Vampirical suiting is big this season — think, ruffled poet shirts, pearl jewellery and this noir-black tuxedo from Maison Margiela. In a wool-crepe construction with satin-faced wide peak lapels, this tux is dark, fitted, tough and incredibly luxe. Dressing like a member of the Addams Family has never been so in. This rich navy-blue suit made from a classic wool blend is an easy addition to your suit collection.

With minimal design elements to give it a streamlined, clean look, all you need is a fresh white shirt and loafers. Traditional tailoring codes combine with modern-retro themes to create this double-breasted suit from Gucci.

For true Gucci style, wear this suit with a Western-inspired shirt or a ruffled poet shirt and some tinted aviator sunglasses. Patterned with a windowpane design, this check suit from Charles Tyrwhitt is a more traditional take on checked tailoring. In a single-breasted cut with notch lapels and Corozo-nut buttons, it has been crafted in a draping fit that will mould to the shape of your body when worn, rendering this suit a comfortable and dapper option for everyday commuting.

Loungewear meets formalwear with this relaxed pick from Lemaire. In a rich but dusky charcoal grey, this shawl-lapelled suit utilises unstructured shoulders and a tied waist to give a soft feel to its tailoring, almost like a formal dressing gown that you can don at your desk. Add some texture to your tailoring with this suit from Asos Design and its crosshatched pattern.

For example, note the skinny-fitting trousers. In a sharp fit and rich blue tone, this single-breasted suit from DKNY has the option of a matching waistcoat if it feels like a three-piece suit kind of event. At moss. In a streamlined, single-breasted cut, finish this look with a pair of monk shoes and a lightly-patterned tie.

At marksandspencer. In a Prince of Wales checked design, this Giorgio Armani suit might look like your classic grey blazer, but on second glance the rivers of vibrant blue present in the check jump forward into the foreground. Match this suit with a blue dress shirt to draw out this detail within the design.

At mrporter. Put your arms by your sides. The jacket should reach down to your knuckles, give or take an inch. At the back — your jacket should cover your buttocks. It shouldn't be much longer or shorter than that. Put your arms by your sides again — the sleeve should go to about your wrist bone and show a quarter to a half-inch of your shirt cuff. If the sleeves are way off, don't worry.

They're one of the easiest things to adjust — up to an inch and a half, or even two inches on bigger suits. Make sure the waist fits you well.

If it's slightly too big — or even slightly too tight — a tailor can fix that. Also, pay attention to the hip area. Your tailor may complain about adjusting this — but if it's way too loose, get it brought in. Again — fit is king. When you're buying a suit off the rack, the store should have a tailor who'll adjust it for you.

If they charge for this, it's not a bad thing — you'll often find you get better service because you're paying for it. You want to create a timeless suit that will serve you six months from now and six years from now — not a fashion trend that'll be out of style in a year. When buying a suit you'll notice there are one, two, three, four, and even five-button suits.

Stay away from the ones, fours, and fives. It's a great classic look. If you're taller and want to look a little more formal you can go with three. This is a three-button suit where the top button is designed to be left undone. Peak lapels are more formal than notch lapels. They're fine if you really like the look — but be aware that they'll grab attention.

Your best bet is the notch lapel. It's not going to win any awards for creativity — but it's timeless and will still be in style in a decade. The ones sewn on top are known as patch pockets. They're very casual. For a versatile suit, you should go for pockets that are sewn in and have a flap.

Vents are the slits in the back of your jacket that give you more room to move. You can choose a single vent, double vent, or no vent. No vent is rare — mostly found in custom and Italian suits. It looks fine if you don't put your hands in your pockets and if you want to create a slimmer profile.

Try putting your hand in your pocket with this one — everyone can see your backside. The double vent is the best. When you're walking it creates a more streamlined look — and it's designed not to show your backside even if you're riding a horse.

Yes — a suit is a jacket and trousers made from the same material. But it's also everything that goes with it to make you a sharp-dressed man. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link — so getting details like your shirt wrong can weaken the entire look. Light blue, pink, and lavender are all acceptable colors for dress shirts — but classic white is best.

It's the most formal, creates the highest contrast, and matches almost anything. A good fit in the neck area is key because you're going to button it up and wear it with a necktie. Also, make sure it's got a turn-down collar in a medium spread or a point. Point is the classic collar that works with most necktie knots. If you prefer a wider knot you can go for a medium spread.

Don't go for a wide spread — that's a more casual style. And definitely avoid button-down collars — they're way too casual for a suit. The shirt cuff should be a single button. It also has two buttons and a center vent. Available in sizes 42 to 48, this men's suit comes in a choice of Long, Regular, and Short lengths. Note that it's currently available in Charcoal only. Brooks Brothers' Stretch Wool Suit is a great big and tall option. Best of all, it is made in a wide range of sizes: Sizes 46 to 50 are available in Long and Extra Long; size 52 is available in Long, Extra Long, and Regular; and sizes 54 to 60 come in both Regular and Long.

There are also several tailoring options for the pants including having the waist taken in or out 1 inch, with a choice of inseam lengths ranging from 28 to 34 inches. Better yet, while you can leave the hem plain, you can also have it cuffed or leave it unhemmed. This two-button suit is available in Navy or Charcoal. Made in Canada, it is constructed of fine wool with a handsome grosgrain trim.

The jacket has four-button cuffs, a chest flap, interior pockets, and side vents. The trousers are also equally well-made with suspender buttons, slant pockets, and back button-welt pockets.

Even more, the hook and bar closure of the zip fly is an excellent fine detail. This tuxedo is available in sizes from 40 to 50 Regular and 42 to 48 Long.

The beautiful micro herringbone blend of black and navy fibers means you can easily dress it up or down. This tuxedo is currently available in sizes 46 to 56IT. If you are unfamiliar with Italian sizing, just subtract 10 to get your American size.

Note that the hems are unfinished so the trousers will need to be altered. Winning points for versatility, this three-piece suit from Hugo Boss can be worn as a two-piece suit or with the vest for special occasions. The double-vented jacket has a notched lapel, two-button closure as well as four nonfunctional sleeve buttons, two front pockets, and a left chest welt pocket.

It is also fully lined, though the vest is unlined. Featuring a zip fly with a hook closure and lining, the flat-fronted pants have two front French pockets and two back welt pockets. The pants, however, are unhemmed so you'll need to get them tailored.

Choose from sizes 36S to 48R. Traditional-looking yet versatile, the Ted Baker London Slim Fit Suit can be worn at the office, out to lunch or dinner, or even to a semi-formal event. The texture of the fabric, flat-front trousers, and the two-button notched-lapel jacket give it a clean, elevated look. It should be more tapered to the body. It is narrower and tighter in the arms, waist, and chest area than a regular suit is. So how do you know which type of suit to buy? It goes straight down instead of curving.

Made in Canada of percent wool, this high-quality men's suit will last for years to come. While it is labeled Slim Fit, this suit is technically considered an Extra Slim Fit—meaning it is cut slim throughout with higher armholes and narrow sleeves.

Just keep in mind that it is only available in Navy. Sizes range from 36 Short to 46 Regular. Both have a classic look that will be appropriate for the office and events for years to come. They also flatter a variety of body types. If you travel or commute, opt for the Paul Smith suit.
