Suit Fit Styles

Fit Type	Description	Best For
Slim Fit	Tailored close to the body with minimal excess fabric. Narrow lapels, higher armholes, tapered trousers.	Lean, athletic builds. Modern, fashion-forward look.
Modern Fit	Slightly relaxed through chest and waist with a gentle taper. Medium lapels, comfortable armholes.	Most body types. Contemporary professional appearance.
Classic Fit	Traditional cut with more room through chest, waist, and seat. Fuller cut trousers, wider lapels.	Broader builds, those preferring traditional styling and maximum comfort.
Tailored Fit	Between slim and modern - shaped but not tight. Follows body contours without restriction.	Athletic builds. Balance of style and comfort.

Professional Fitting Tips:

Jacket Shoulders: The seam should sit exactly at your shoulder point - not beyond or before
Jacket Length: The jacket should cover your seat and end around mid-hand when arms are at your sides
Sleeve Length: Jacket sleeves should end at your wrist bone, showing 1/4" to 1/2" of shirt cuff
Jacket Buttons: When buttoned, you should be able to fit a fist between your chest and the jacket
Trouser Break: Trousers should have a slight break (crease) where they meet your shoes
Trouser Waist: Should sit comfortably at your natural waist without needing a belt to hold them up
Collar Gap: No gap should appear between your shirt collar and jacket collar at the back of your neck

Alteration Considerations:

Sleeve length and trouser length are easily altered
Taking in the waist or seat is straightforward
Shoulder alterations are complex and expensive - get this measurement right from the start
Jacket length can be shortened slightly but not lengthened
Most designer suits benefit from professional tailoring for a perfect fit
Budget £50-150 for basic alterations, more for extensive work

Measuring for Bespoke or Made-to-Measure:

For custom tailoring, additional measurements are required including back length, across back, front length, armhole depth, thigh, and knee. Always consult with a professional tailor for bespoke suiting.
