If you want to turn out like the gentleman shown here (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) without breaking the bank on Saville Row, here are five good tips when looking for an off-the-rack suit on the high street.
1. Sacks are for potatoes – not well dressed men
There are many measurements to consider when finding a suit jacket that fits, but you must make sure you concentrate on these three at the very least: the chest, the waist, and the shoulders.
Given the way in which suit jackets are sized – that is to say, chest size-by-length – even the most clueless buyer will be fleetingly aware that the chest is an important area. Amazing, then, that so many still get it wrong. It’s quite simple, really: make sure your lapels lay against your chest when the jacket is buttoned, not too tight, but certainly with no gaping space.
