The suit: trends come and go, but the suit is the most sustainable signature of masculine style. The shape of this vital garment has been subtly revamped to give you a sharper silhouette.

 

The new shape - what to look for:

  • a fitted waist to give you a more sculpted body and broader shoulders
  • shorter jacket length which will elongate your silhouette
  • 1- or 2- button jacket
  • narrower lapels which will visually broaden your chest
  • low waisted straight-leg trousers

Tips on suit buying:

  • buy the best you can afford - you'll get great quality fabric and thus a great look
  • look sharp immediately by making sure the lengths of your trouser and jacket sleeve fit you perfectly. Get them professionally altered if necessary.
  • team your suit with elegant shoes
Where to get your suit:
  • Designer: Bottega Veneta, Fendi, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Dolce Gabbana, Etro

Outerwear, knitwear and shirts have been given the 'nipped-in waist' treatment too:
