Styles in Men's Suits

If you are keen to wear only finest variety of mens suits, then you must stop shopping for them in chain stores, department stores, or retail warehouses that predominantly cater to the mass markets and not to the elite. Most of these sales outlets will bother less about quality and sell cheap suits targeting the cost-conscious market.

Truly exceptional and sophisticated mens suits will be available only in upscale boutiques and specialty men's stores. Only distinguished gentlemen who possess aristocratic fashion taste will be looking to buy the finest variety of suits regardless of the price tag.

The first thing you absolutely need to do is to get your exact suit measurements as any ill-fitting suit – however costly or fanciful – will create a poor impression. Besides, getting properly measured will indicate to you what type of suit will best suit your body frame.

When it comes to mens suit style, there are basically only four main styles. These are American suits, English suits, Mandarin suits, and the Italian suits.

•  The Italian style is a double breasted suit and eminently suited for tall men.
•  The British style is single breasted and provides an imperious look compared with other styles.
•  The American style is the most casual of all the four and makes you look a few years younger.
•  The Mandarin suit should be your choice if you are influenced by more traditional eastern culture.

Which style you choose is truly a matter of your personal preference. You have to consider your body type, personal style, and the nature and timing of the event for which you plan to wear the suit.
