One of the more common sights in the business world, at weddings, funerals or other formal gatherings is ill-fitting men’s suits. Most men in today’s world aren’t taught how men’s suits are supposed to fit, so it’s easy to see why so many make mistakes. For most guys, as long as it covers everything and is relatively comfortable, it fits properly. Of course, that isn’t the case, and many men end up looking and feeling quite uncomfortable, especially if they have to wear their suit for an extended period of time.

When you think of how long a businessman must have a suit on each day, it’s easy to see how a comfortable fit is important, and why learning the ins and outs of men’s suits will benefit any man who must wear one. For the pants on men’s suits, you will want the bottoms of the pants to brush the top of the shoes in front and sit just above the soles of the shoes in the back.

It’s customary to wear the pants of men’s suits at your natural waist, which is close to your navel. Some contemporary men or men with smaller waists prefer to wear the pants of men’s suits lower on the waist. The main element of where you choose to position the waist of your pants on men’s suits is comfort. Basically, as long as the bottoms of your pants sit where they’re supposed to be, you should be all right. For some men’s suits, you may want to leave cuff on the bottom of the pants. Cuffs tend to work well on the bottom of men’s suits to add a little extra height. In the end, you don’t want your pants too snug or too close, but you do want to maintain the element of comfort.

The jacket of men’s suits must also provide the proper fit for the whole thing to work. The chest and shoulders of the jackets in men’s suits are the most important areas as far as fit is concerned. To get a proper fit, start by standing erect with your arms hanging down to your sides. The lapels of the jacket should be flush with the front panels of the jacket and lying flat. The buttons on the jackets of men’s suits should rest lightly on your stomach, or at least be almost touching. It’s ok for the collar of your shirt to extend up to an inch above your lapels, and while you’re standing, your biceps should almost break the drape of the sleeve from the shoulder.

When you’re being fitted for a men’s suit, it’s always best to stand in the most natural stance possible. Don’t try to stand with your chest out or arms flexed, because you’ll only end up with a suit that doesn’t fit you correctly. Not all suits that come ‘off the rack’ are going to fit every body type perfectly, but if you take the time and pay attention to each aspect of the process, you’ll be more likely to find men’s suits that fit you well and allow you to carry on with your days in comfort.
