Are you certain you wear a suit cut that truly flatters your figure? In many men such a question stirs uncertainty. The cut of a suit is made up of dozens of variables, and finding one that fits you perfectly therefore often calls for many hours of searching and trying on. To make the choice of a suit as easy as possible, we have created four silhouettes suited to the most common body types.
To some extent this is of course a simplification — every one of our suits is unique and none of us can be pigeonholed into just one of four categories. Even so, the right choice of silhouette can make the selection of your dream suit significantly easier.
Suits in the Extra Slim silhouette are recommended above all to men of slender build. Narrower trouser legs and sleeves, together with a markedly slimmed cut, give the wearer a highly elegant and youthful appearance. Trousers in the Extra Slim silhouette are normally worn shorter than with the other cuts, though this is not a strict requirement.
The Slim silhouette flatters the majority of men with an average build. The slimmed cut accentuates the strengths of your figure in the right places while providing enough freedom of movement for everyday activities.
Are you among the tall, broad-shouldered or athletically built men? Then you no doubt know all too well what a challenge it is to find a well-fitting suit. Our designers, however, have you in mind as well. Suits in the Sport silhouette are therefore roomier through the shoulders, chest and thighs, so they accommodate even those for whom the Slim silhouette is too tight.
Are you not among the admirers of modern slimmed cuts? Then the Relax silhouette is the ideal choice for you. Thanks to its looser cut, these suits fit every body type beautifully, regardless of proportions. They are therefore suitable also for men who carry a few extra kilos.
Tips on what to watch out for when choosing a suit
● Watch the length of the sleeves; with your arms at your sides they should reach just above the wrist bone.
● The lapels of the jacket should lie flat against the chest; if they stand away, the jacket is too small.
● Do not hesitate to sit down in the suit, or to cross one leg over the other. This way you will better tell whether the length and width of the trousers suit you.
● "Stretch out" in the jacket. If it is too tight across the back, or conversely creates wrinkles, try a different size or cut.
