Looking great in a suit is no mean menswear feat. With ill-fitting attire, colour combinations and endless ties to contend with, it's a wonder anyone pulls it off at all.
But suits aren't just for the David Beckham and Tom Hardysof the world - the team at Dobell have put together a simple-yet-informative infographic covering jackets, trousers, lapels, and ties.
Want to pick out and wear a suit like a pro? Just follow this simple guide:
Rules to follow include…
- Jacket length – a suit jacket should cover most of the zip at the front of your trousers and all of your behind.
- How your shoulder of your jacket fits is one of the most important things to check. The seam should rest naturally on your shoulder and not move when you do.
- Your jacket collar should closely just below the collar of your shirt.
- The peak lapel will add some height by creating an elongating effect by moving the eyes upwards
