Suits are unarguably the most stylish outfit for men and make them look dashing and handsome. The market offers endless choices when it comes to formal suits. Selecting a perfect suit is made easy with the following tips:

1. The right fit: Suits mostly come in three types of fits. The first one is the slim fit that is shorter than regular suits and hugs the contours of the body. The second one is the modern fit that sits slightly loose on the body, thus offering you a flattering silhouette. Then there is the classic fit that has wide shoulders and extra room in the back and in the chest. Such suits reach below the waist and cover your buttocks. Choose the right fit for your body type to look your best. Slim fitted suits work well for thin men with lean frames. Classic fit is ideal for men with full or average built. Modern fit is good for medium body types.
2. The type of suit: Single breasted suits with slim and high panels work well for short men. For tall men, three- button, single-breasted suits are a good option. For heavier men, two button suits are appropriate and they create a longer torso. Two button suits are the most flattering for most body types. Choose the fabric of the suit according to the season in which it has to be worn.
3. The right colour: Suits are available in a variety of colours. Most business suits are either in black, navy or grey. For less formal occasions, colours like brown, red or white may be chosen. In general, men with lighter skin tones look good in dark-coloured suits and those with darker skin look good in lighter shades.
4. Detailing: Pay attention to lapels and vents while buying a suit. Peaked and notched lapels are most common types. A single-breasted suit with peaked lapels looks more formal. As for vents, suits may be vent-less, center or double vented. Those with athletic build should go for vent-less suits. Double vented suits are more suited to heavily built men.
