Suit styles

Dec 312010

Mens Suit Styles are not all that complicated. The main thing you really need to know is that there are four main styles. Everything else is just a hodgepodge of the 4 mixed up so you can’t tell. We have American suits,English suits, Mandarin suits, and the Italian suit.

The Italian style is a double breasted suit and is usually a good choice for very tall men.

The British style is single breasted and gives off a more regal look than its counterparts.

The American style is the most relaxed of the four and gives off a younger image.

The Mandarin suit is the most unique of the four as it is influenced by more traditional eastern cultures.

Which style you choose is really a matter of preference. One has to consider his body type, personal style, and where he plans to wear the suit.

Click through to the various styles to get a more in-depth look at what these suits are about.

Knowing what you are looking for will put you in a better buying position and reduce the feeling of helplessness that many people get when spending large amounts of money on something they really know almost nothing about.

Suit patterns are just as important as suit style, fit and color. There are four main suit designs to consider: solid, pinstripe, windowpane, and check patterns.

Solid

Solid Suit are suits that consist of one color with no built in patterns. These suits must differentiate themselves with pocket, button, lapel, and vent style. They are neutral and safe for all situations.

Pinstripe

Pinstripe suits have vertical lines of color evenly spaced throughout the suit. These stripes of color can vary in thickness depending on the designers vision. Pinstripes give the wearer a more authoritative look.

Window Pane

Window pane suits have either a square or rectangular pattern throughout the suit. This is created with the use of widely spaced horizontal and vertical stripes. These suits are more stylish than the previous models.

Plaid

The plaid suit is a type of check patterned suit with a higher cost due to its type of material and tailoring.

Check Patterns

The check patterned suit is similar to the window pane suit with one exception. This suit has every other square or rectangle filled with horizontal lines. Wear this suit as one of your more trendy stylish versions.

Urban suits

Urban suits are a new phenomenon that is catching on quickly among consumers. These suits have a unique style that is drastically different from the classic contemporary styles you find in older models.

I wrote this article to give the average consumer as much information on the subject of urban suits as possible. It is my goal to enlighten the reader on the differences and similarities of urban and non urban wear. Following this I will tell you what brands are popular and where to get them.

This suit comes with the same parts as the traditional suit. As always you will find: lapels, buttons, shoulder padding, pockets, and even inner lining. These parts will almost always be present on all models but will be styled in a unique way of their own.

The fundamental difference in this suit is the aerodynamic design to the suit. Urban models have a unique cut that gives them a streamlined youthful aura that transcends traditional models.

The consumer on the prowl for a more urban looking suit should find a model with lean lapels, tight shoulders, and slit pockets. This consumer will want to match this type of jacket with a pair of pants that extend to the ankles without cuffs or pleats.

Major brands carrying these types of suits include: Sean John, Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis, and Steve Harvey. Stay away from vintage brands like Botany 500 or older designer models such as Pronto Uomo.

These suits are harder to find at the retail level because they are not carried in many rural and suburban areas. Look to find this type of suit in larger cities like New York or Philadelphia. Otherwise you should check out the many different online vendors for some great bargains.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Use this knowledge to make your next purchase more fruitful than all of your other suit purchases combined.

Church suit

Mens church suits haven’t completely gone out of style and never will. The days of the entire family getting formally dressed up and going to church together are long gone for some, but not for all.

These days most of the typical churches have a combination of suited up and non-suited people attending their masses. Since I’m sure some of you are still wondering what exactly church suits are…

Take a look at some of the pictures.

As you can see these suits are basically just designer suits. The reason for this is because although church goers want to be well dressed (hence the suit), they also don’t want to feel like they are going to work. If they did though they could always take a look at the business suit section of this website.

Giorgio Armani is probably the most famous designer in Italy (and maybe in the world too) and one of the fashion gurus since early 90´s. He became well knowned for his shirts, but he soon started to design suits and became famous for his suits too. As every designer, he has style that distinguishes from regular suits as you can see in these pictures…

Giorgio likes to mix things up and makes his designs in robust double breasted makes, powerful British style 2 piece suits, and even the more relaxed American sac style suits.

Having an Armani suit in the fashion world is like having a Ferrari in the cars world, it just makes you different form the others even if they have good suits too, an Armani its an Armani, and to become a member of the Armani world you´ll have too spend some money… but it´s worth it. These suits can sometimes go for well over $1,000. This price is a combination of great quality and materials combined with name brand inflation.

Colors are mostly traditional and elegant with rare variations of bold hues.
