- Wear Fitting suits
when buying an off the rack jacket,the number one thing is to check how the shoulder fits.When you try on a suit, you’re looking for a good fit in what’s called your “natural stance.”It’s not actually a very natural posture for a lot of us but If the suit doesn’t fit well in this stance, it’s not going to move comfortably with your body either.Practice standing in that relaxed, upright pose, and then start trying on suits in that posture. Look for a good fit in the following areas when you’re in your natural stance:
- Shoulder fit:

A well-fitted shoulder lies flat. The seam on top of the shoulder should be the same length as the bone under it, and should meet the sleeve of the suit right where your arm meets your shoulder.

The back of your trousers should be a smooth drape over the shape of your rear end — whatever that happens to be.A good fit in the seat will lie loosely against your underwear, without pulling tight against your butt or draping loosely down your thighs.

The “break” is the small wrinkle caused when the top of your shoe stops your trouser cuff from falling to its full length.
This should be a small, subtle feature. One horizontal dimple or crease is usually ideal. The cuff should indeed rest on the top of your shoe — there needs to be contact — but it shouldn’t do much more than that. The trouser can fall a touch longer in the back than in front, so long as it’s still above the heel of the shoe (the actual heel, not just the back of the shoe.
