<\/span><\/h2>\nLet’s speak about design now. KISS \u2014 keep it simple stupid \u2013 is my counsel to you.<\/p>\n
I have a lot of suits, and the ones I wear the least are the ones where the design is way too intricate.<\/p>\n
You will end up with a monstrosity if you do an eclectic here, eclectic there, changing things up to be different.<\/p>\n
When it comes to lapels, notch lapels will suffice for the vast majority of people.<\/p>\n
Peak lapels will have a more formal feel to them. If you want to go with shawl lapels, you’ll notice that it’s more rare on black tie.<\/p>\n
In general, though, notch lapels are acceptable.<\/p>\n
How many buttons do you have on the front? In general, two. Two-buttoned jackets account for 95% of all jackets on the market.<\/p>\n
If this is your first custom suit, avoid going with a double-breasted suit because you don’t own any and don’t typically wear them. Don’t buy something that will put a lot of pressure on you.<\/p>\n
When it comes to the back of the jacket, many individuals buy for the single vent when purchasing something off-the-rack.<\/p>\n
I strongly recommend you to go with the double vent. It may not appear to be much, but it makes a significant difference in how the jacket fits and flows when you’re walking.<\/p>\n
When it comes to the buttons on the sleeve of the jacket, make sure they are functional. You might wish to use contrasting stitching.<\/p>\n
Another great little thing you can do is contrast stitching. Change up the buttons, maybe a few things here and there, but keep it simple overall.<\/p>\n
The same goes for the pants: keep it simple. Don’t buy pleats today if you don’t generally have pleats on your trousers. If you don’t regularly cuff your trousers, keep the bottom hem straight.<\/p>\n
Suspender buttons on the inside are something I highly recommend. Nobody will be able to see it. You may never wear them, but if you want to buy suspenders, they are an option.<\/p>\n
If you have the option, I always suggest purchasing a second pair of trousers. The trousers are the most commonly damaged part of a suit.<\/p>\n
If you have two pairs of trousers, a suit, and this is your go-to suit, you’ll have something that will last a lot longer.<\/p>\n
If you have two pairs of trousers, one of them should have side tabs. Removing the belt loops is a must. It will simply cinch up on the sides.<\/p>\n
I adore this look since it’s so unique, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you only have one pair of trousers because it can be problematic if you gain or lose weight.<\/p>\n
