How To Choose A Suit
Whether it's for work, a wedding or a formal occasion, choose the perfect suit with VideoJug's assistance. Follow this simple step by step guide on choosing a suit.
Step 1: Where to go
Make sure you choose a good shop with plenty of choice and Knowledgeable staff.
Step 2: Measurements
Measure your neck, chest, waist and inside leg
Step 3: Fabric
Choose natural fibres and avoid synthetics
Step 4: The jacket's style
Single breasted jackets are more common but double breasted tend to flatter larger men
Step 5: The jacket's fit
Check that the sleeves of the jacket finish just above the shirt cuffs and the collor of the jacket finishes just above the shirts collar.
Step 6: The jacket's back
If there is a channel of material down the back go down a size or get the jacket taken in.
Step 7: Buttons
Always wear the bottom button of you jacket undone
Step 8: Trousers
The trousers should be comfortable around the waist and just brush the top of the shoes
Step 9: Test the fit
Stretch your arms out in front of you to make sure your movement isn't restricted. Sit, as if at a desk to ensure the suit is comfortable and walk around checking that your socks aren't flashing too much.
Tips & Comments
the part about checking the fit was great... thanks
This is stuff a 2 year old knows about suits!!! I think its time someone saves all the poor men out there.
nice video
I disagree with her on the man made fibre part. For example man made fibres such as polyester may not be breathable but they are crease resistant and the material is very durable. they are less prone to color fastening also. So what she has said is not entirely true. when i buy tshirts,hoodies,jackets, i always try and ensure it contains at least 10% polyester as it stops shrinkage. 100% cotton is rubbish. I know this because i work in the industry however when it comes to suits, wool really is the best way to go as it looks good.
useful indeed
very expert advice
