subject: Tips On Buying A Men's Slim-fit Suit [print this page] Selecting Slim-fit Suits: Selecting Slim-fit Suits:
1.Get the skinny. Typically, men's slim suit feature a tapered waist, slim and slightly tapered legs and a narrower point-to-point shoulder measurement. If you have muscular arms, defined legs or a wide waist, a men's dress suit cut in a slim fit may not work best for you. However, slim-fit men's suits can help you achieve a flattering silhouette and visually trim a full chest or stomach as well.
2.Wear the pants. When purchasing a men's dress suit, it is important to find suit pants that fit well. Men's slim-fit suit pants, unlike most suits for men, feature a lower rise and have a slightly shorter length in addition to their slim fit. These suits for men also have a flat front instead of a pleated one, which adds to their sleek, polished look.
3.Take your coat. A slim-fit men's dress suit features a narrower lapel with a higher gorge (or notch), lower button stance to lengthen the body and a shorter suit coat length overall. Smaller and softer shoulder pads also characterize slim-fit men's dress suits, and many also feature a two-button suit coat instead of a three-button style.
4.Slim down. As with all slimming suits, you should pick a men's slim-fit suit only if you're comfortable with its close fit and sleek look. A suit in navy blue, black or black pinstripes can also visually trim men who are stockier and are restricted by slimming suit.
