kinds of Suits that are generally available in the
market.

This cut was first introduced by Brooks Brothers in
1895.
Boxy silhouette S
Straight hanging lines
Natural shoulders (no padding)
Flap pockets
Single center vent (single slit at the back) in the
jacket
The American cut is a classic cut. This is a fine
choice for somebody who is middle aged and is
planning to wear his first suit. Also, take note that
if your work requires of you to wear a suit for long
hours, a comfort fit American Cut Suit is the ideal
choice.

33. 2. THE BRITISH CUT –
The British Cut Suit is slightly more shaped
around the waist than the American suit.
Double vents (two slits at the back)
Higher armholes.
The sleeves are narrower than American Cut
Suit.
The shoulders are more crisp and they have
flap pockets.
A British Cut Suit is ideal if you are not
comfortable wearing a Suit that’s either too
boxy or too slim fit. If you are an average
built, the British Cut Suit is for you.

35. 3. EUROPEAN CUT (ITALIAN) –
This is the slimmest of them all.
It is slightly shorter in length compared to an
American or a British Cut Suit.
This has a very well shaped waist, narrow
slim sleeves and no vents at the back.
If you have a slim frame and a flat stomach,
this suit is meant for you. Buy a slim fit Suit
with a single button or maximum two buttons
and narrow lapels. These suits are particularly
meant for more dressy occasions.

37. A tuxedo (American English) or dinner
suit or dinner jacket (British English) is a
semi-formal evening suit distinguished
primarily by satin facings on the
jacket's lapels and buttons and a similar
stripe along the out seam of the trousers.
The suit is typically black (though may
be midnight blue) and commonly worn with a
formal shirt, shoes and other accessories,
most traditionally in the form prescribed by
the black tie dress code.[1]

43. With a Natural Shoulder, the suit is designed
along the natural curvature of your shoulder, and
it give the jacket is rounded effect. On the other
hand, the padded shoulder are designed with
thick or light padding giving a more tailored and
angular look.
All jackets are constructed around the shoulders,
therefore is very important part of an excellent
fit for a suit. The shoulder pads should not cross
your shoulder and this cannot be fixed through
alterations. With a bespoke or made-to-measure
suit, the skilled tailor will be able to help to get
the best shoulder fit – that’s what make the
difference.

is actually the offspring of two distinct
jacket styles, one being double breasted and

other is single breasted having evolved from
the jacket worn at rowing clubs between
1870 to 1950.

52. A blazer should fit in the same fashion a suit
jacket and sport coat should.
Room in the shoulders to allow full arm
movement but not so much room that the
shoulders are over extending the shoulder points
by more than ½ inch.
Room in the chest to fully button the jacket but
not enough to hide a baseball.
The blazer jacket sleeves should extend to the
wrist bone and show ¼ to ¾ an inch of shirt cuff
when standing straight.
The jacket length should always fully cover your
backside – it can be a bit longer if you are taller
than six foot, and should lean on the shorter side
if you are shorter than five foot six.

54. Grey Flannel Trousers – the perfect partner for a blazer
jacket, grey flannel trousers compliment a wide range of sport
jackets as well and have historically been the go to trousers for
stylish men for almost a century. They are comfortable, classic,
and durable.
Khaki Trousers – Will make a man look a bit shorter as this
combination’s contrast in colour draws attention to the
midsection instead of allowing the eyes to flow from head to
toe. Men south of five foot seven and those with substantial
midsections should try to wear either darker shades of khaki or
skip this option altogether.
White Cotton Slacks – A great summer choice, white cotton
trousers require a bit of personality to pull off and need to be
worn with care. The pros outweigh the cons here though; if you
can pull it off, the contrast looks great.
Quality Denim (aka Jeans) – Levi 501s, 505s or 531s work well,
but there are so many types out there it shouldn’t be too hard to
find something that works for your body shape.
