A men's suit is not only a functional thing, but also a tribute to fashion. Some fashionistas put off acquiring it because of stereotypes. It is believed that the suit is boring and too formal. It's time to let go of prejudice.

5 reasons not to put off the purchase indefinitely:

• The fourth reason is an occasion that you yourself want to come up with in order to once again show off in a new thing. It will bring variety to your gray everyday life;
• And, finally, the fifth reason: you will never miss a business dinner, a trip to the theater or a long-awaited date if a beautiful suit is hidden in your closet, which is just waiting for its turn to go out.

The classic men's suit has long gone beyond the usual and rather boring traditional suit. Men have access to a wide range of colors and decorative elements. It became appropriate to wear a suit even for walks in the park.

There are three main models of men's suits:

• Single-breasted is the most popular among men, due to the fact that it is universal. One row of buttons, characteristic of the model, will adorn men of any build;
• Double-breasted has a more stylish look thanks to the closure of the two rows of buttons. It sits best on slender and tall men;
• A three-piece suit is a set consisting of three items: trousers, a jacket and a vest. The vest gives a more informal look and also serves as a convenience. If you feel hot, you can just take off your jacket. Thanks to the single-breasted cut characteristic of a jacket, a three-piece suit can be worn with any features of the figure.

Modern models of suits are divided, first of all, according to the type of cut of the jacket:

• fitted,
• Free.

Models of suits with a fitted jacket:

Can have both single-breasted and double-breasted jacket. This model is characterized by British stiffness and elegance. The jacket is slightly elongated, the shoulder line is emphasized by shoulder pads.

The cut of the jacket is fitted, the waistline is somewhat high. There are both double-breasted and single-breasted jackets for this suit model. For a double-breasted jacket, 4 or 6 buttons are characteristic, for a single-breasted jacket - 3. It is allowed to leave the bottom button unbuttoned.

Trousers have a free cut, without underturns. It is considered normal for the British to keep their hands in their pockets, which is provided by slots.

One of the most interesting models. The classic Italian style should be tailored precisely to the figure. Basically, such costumes are made to order. The Italian style is characterized by a special attention to detail, which has not bypassed this item of men's wardrobe.

The choice of length, decorative elements, fabrics - everything adapts to the features of the owner's figure. Preference is given to a single-breasted cut of the jacket.

This model is the epitome of French style and fine taste. The jacket, more often single-breasted, has a slightly shortened length and a silhouette tapering downwards. Forms are soft, slightly rounded. The French are more likely to choose trousers that are narrower at the bottom.

Models with a straight-cut jacket:

The imprint of the Soviet times was deposited on the appearance of the suit.Now it does not have its former popularity, but men with figure flaws, as well as politicians of mature age, appear in public in the Russian costume model.

US residents value simplicity and comfort more than sophisticated style. That is why the classic American suit has a loose, baggy cut. It will be a godsend for short and overweight men.

The jacket is allowed double-breasted or single-breasted, without shoulder pads. The cut of the jacket can be completely straight, or slightly fitted. In the line of the hips, it narrows, as residents of the states often wear a suit under a jacket.

The practicality of the inhabitants of Germany was reflected in the features of the men's garment. They prefer a loose fit, reminiscent of the American. A distinctive feature of a high-quality suit is a fabric made using a special technology. If you store the suit folded for a long time, and then straighten it, you will notice that the fabric will completely take its original shape. It does not wrinkle - this is done for comfort when worn.

Classic costumes in the traditional sense are gradually giving way to more informal and stylish ones. In the modern world, most of the events no longer require strict adherence to the dress code, as it used to be. Modern fashionistas choose brighter models for everyday wear and going out. There are two main popular models:

You will look appropriate at fashion events, friendly holidays, in the theater.

Men often want to complement their everyday wardrobe with suits without choosing the classics. The new model is designed to help them with this.

Remember the rule that light colors are suitable for the warm season, dark ones are appropriate at any time, but look more harmonious in autumn and winter. In traditional classic costumes, the following colors are used:

• Black. A simple and concise color that suits everyone. Associated with power and emphasizes a sense of style. It is important not to overdo it: dilute the gloomy look with a white shirt and accessories.

• White. Choose a shade of white based on the type of your appearance. Remember that color fills. Dilute the light ensemble with bright accessories.

• Brown. This color is not for everyone, it is quite complex. Brighter shades will suit young men. Muted brown color will give the image of solidity.

Trendy design novelties offer to expand the color gamut:

• Red color exudes confidence and strength. To tone down the color, choose simple accessories or wear a red jacket with black trousers.

• Green. All shades from neon to bottle are in fashion. When choosing a color, consider your age and appearance.

• Pink. Forget the 90s light pink satin blazers. Bright fuchsia is in fashion. This color can be chosen by a very confident man. Dilute a bright suit with a neutral shirt and shoes, light shades are best for this.

• Bordeaux and all its shades for several seasons do not lose their relevance. The color looks noble and is able to decorate a man of any age. Add bright accessories to complete the look.

The traditional fabric for men's suits is wool. The thinner the wool fabric you choose, the more expensive the suit will look. Thin wool fabric is more prone to wear and tear and costs more than thick wool.Often you can find a mixture of wool with silk or cashmere (no more than 10% in the composition), to give the fabric softness.

Winter suits are also sewn from tweed, flannel and other varieties of woolen fabric.

For summer suits, it is allowed to use dense cotton fabric, in which it is comfortable to endure the heat.

• The slot at the back should not bulge.
• Standard pants should not be wider than ¾ of the shoe length.
• The length of the dress pants should allow them to fold into the boot.

Consider a few private rules for choosing a suit for owners of a non-standard figure:

• Obese men should choose an American or German cut suit. Italian suits are perfect for any type of figure.
• Men of short stature should refrain from elongated jackets and trousers that are too loose.
• Young people should pay attention to the trousers narrowed down and the fitted cut of the jacket. Baggy clothes add a few years.
