Why the Right Proportions Matter in Modern Man’s Suit?
A man whose suit is carefully proportioned always looks great. Unfortunately, in our time this fact is extremely underestimated, and therefore it is so difficult to meet a man on the street whose style demonstrates elegance. Most of the men’s suits and shirts sold in stores come in several standard sizes and are tailored to suit today’s fashions. Yes, if you find a good tailor, you can alter the standard clothes, adjust them “for yourself”, but in the case of, say, a men’s suit, there are many smallest and, at the same time, significant details that cannot be foreseen when purchasing a suit from the store shelf. In retail, details such as neckline height, type of fastener, button position, lapel width – everything follows today’s fashion, and not the features of the physique and desires of the buyer. Let’s consider these factors in more detail, keep reading this article made by our styling team.
What is the issue?
Most suits are sewn with the expectation of some hypothetical figure of a man, which occurs, perhaps, once in 100 people. Therefore, it is not surprising that those who have a non-standard figure – men with high or short stature, thin or overweight – those for whom the clothes “did not count”, this state of affairs cannot satisfy. So, it would be much better if their jacket and trousers were adjusted to the characteristics of their physique, with the appropriate cut and proportions, allowing an order of magnitude to improve their appearance.
While somebody’s types may not match certain items of clothing very well, this does not mean that only one particular style of clothing is suitable for your physique. The most important task in this business is to find such proportions in clothes that are ideal for your physique and then constantly adhere to them when choosing and buying garments.
Why the right proportions are important?
Correct proportions are very important for a man’s jacket to achieve a natural and attractive appearance. For example, if you have a wide enough head, the wide shoulders of the jacket will help to make this feature less noticeable. For men with a narrow face, jackets with sloping shoulders are more suitable. The neckline of a jacket is where the lapels merge into the collar, creating a neckline or tapered corner. Men of short stature look better in a jacket with a high neck. The length of the lapels must correspond exactly to the length of the torso, otherwise, the jacket will either be overweight or, conversely, make the man visually thinner. Regardless of the specific size, the length should be such that in a standing position, hands at the seams, the jacket only reaches the thumb. The sleeves would end at the base of the hands. At the same time, if you have unusually long arms, it is better if the jacket ends, covering the buttocks.
A man who chooses clothes designed specifically for him and suits his own style can wear these clothes with confidence, looking great regardless of the vagaries of fashion! To find all the necessary garments including suits, jackets, shirts just visit the Hawes & Curtis website.
