HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST SUIT FOR YOUR BODY TYPE

  • How to

Nothing hurts like buying full-frame suits you saw on a good-looking fella in an ad, just to be disappointed that it looks nothing like that on you. What went wrong? 

The first thing to ask is: what’s your type? Body type, that is. 

Body type is a major factor when selecting the right suit for you. The Modern Groom doesn’t want you to feel like the Wish version of a man you saw modeling the suit you bought. We’re all built differently and that’s what makes life so diverse and beautiful. Confidently rock the right suit with these top tips on how to choose the best suit for your body type. 

FULL FRAME SUITS FOR THE BROAD, BIG, AND BEAUTIFUL MEN

If you’re someone with a broad frame and a bigger chest, finding the right proportions will be your friend. A suit off the rack or suit rental isn’t going to cut it. Parts of the suit will end up being too small or too big to accommodate the parts of your body that need a bit of extra room. In general, bulking up might be great for the gym, but put the bulk away when it comes to your suit. Reach for full-frame suits with a wider lapel and jackets that are longer for the most flattering fit. 

If it feels overwhelming, don’t go at it alone. Get a free consultation from a professional wedding stylist at The Modern Groom. Take your measurements, discuss your body type, and they’ll handle the rest.

TALL AND SKINNY SUITS FOR THE SLIM, SLENDER, AND STRONG MEN  

Don’t let the narrow frame and small waist fool you. We know you’re strong and mighty and want you to feel that way when it’s time to suit up. Find a structured blazer or suit jacket that adds bulk to your shoulders. A quality three-piece suit is also a perfect choice for slim, slender, and strong guys because the added layers under your suit jacket will add more dimension to your body. 

SUITS FOR SHORT, SHARP, AND SEXY STUDS

You may not be single anymore, but single-breasted suits are still the best suits for shorter men. To add the illusion of height, the vertical lines of a quality single-breasted suit from The Modern Groom can do that. Another great trick to add height is to shorten the jacket. This can accentuate your legs to make them look longer. Tailoring the pant hem will make suits for shorter men more flattering. Aside from your bride’s train on her dress, nothing should be dragging on the floor.

Be sure to get the ideal proportions for your dream suit, by watching some how-to videos to get your measurements right for your professionally-fitted suit.
