First select the right breast of the jacket. Single-breasted jacket with two buttons is probably the most popular style, but jackets with three or four buttons are also popular. Remember that fashion for men often changes like the women’s fashion. Only tall and slim guys can wear formal double-breasted jackets, because they add volume to the figure and if you are fuller-figured man, they will make you body look fuller. The double-breasted jackets must be kept fastened all the time as unbuttoned, the jacket hangs and does not look good. Select a pattern. If you pick a fabric with pattern, check if the pattern is in line and if it matches at the shoulder seam and lapel. If you are a larger man, patterns such as plaids and checks will tend to exaggerate your proportions while accentuating the contours of the slimmer man. Stripes, however, will tend to make a larger man seem more slender.
Choose the fabric for suit. High quality wool is the most versatile seasonal choice. Cotton and linen are suitable for the summer, because they are lightweight and stylish. Avoid mixes that are made with too much polyester, as the fabric don’t breathe well and would look cheap.
Choose the fabric according to your lifestyle – do you travel a lot, will you wear it daily, or you will wear it only at special occasions?
