4. Sizing and Tailoring: Precision Matters
-
Great fit starts at shoulders: seams should align with your natural shoulder line.

Sleeve length, armhole depth, collar clearance—critical for comfort and style.

Minor tailoring (hem, sleeve, waist nip) for £5–£15 can elevate any high-street suit to personal-level perfection.
-
Understand your body-shape needs in statement tailoring and size guides for optimal drape.

-
Don’t treat your suit like a uniform. Break it up:
-
Blazer + dark denim or tailored joggers
-
Suit trousers + crisp tee + trainers
-
Oversized jacket + fitted top for shape contrast
-
-
