How to Choose the Perfect Suit for Your Body Type

A well-fitted suit transforms your look, boosting confidence for weddings or events. At Suit Society, Australia’s go-to for custom-tailored suits, we know every body is unique. This guide helps you choose a suit that flatters your frame, ensuring you shine on your big day or any occasion.

Understanding Your Body Type

• Slim: Long, lean frames need suits that add structure without overwhelming.

• Athletic: Broad shoulders and narrow waists require balanced proportions.

• Broad: Larger builds benefit from streamlining cuts to enhance elegance.

• Short: Compact frames need suits that elongate and avoid bulk.

Suit Styles for Each Body Type

• Slim: Opt for slim-fit suits with single-breasted jackets and notched lapels. Light fabrics like linen add volume. Avoid overly tight cuts that exaggerate thinness.

• Athletic: Choose tailored fits with wider lapels to complement shoulders. A double-breasted jacket can enhance your V-shape. Stick to darker tones for balance.

• Broad: Go for single-breasted suits with wider lapels and structured shoulders. Dark colors like navy slim the silhouette. Avoid bold patterns that add bulk.

• Short: Select slim-fit, single-breasted suits with high button stances to elongate legs. Vertical stripes or monochromatic looks add height. Avoid oversized jackets.

Key Tips for a Flattering Fit

• Get Measured: Visit Suit Society for precise measurements. Our tailors ensure a custom fit, whether bespoke or made-to-measure.

• Focus on Fit: Shoulders should hug naturally, jackets taper at the waist, and trousers break cleanly at the shoe.

• Choose Fabrics: Lightweight wool or linen suits warm climates; heavier wool suits cooler settings or formal events.

• Accessorize Smartly: Ties, pocket squares, and cufflinks enhance your look. Match them to your suit’s tone for cohesion.
