1. Tall and slim
For gentlemen with a slender frame, the most important thing is to create a sense of balance. The suit should have lightly padded shoulders and a well-fitted, upright form to help fill out the upper body. Light or neutral shades such as light grey, beige and pale navy also make the whole look more harmonious. Conversely, vertical stripes can make you look taller and thinner than necessary.
A well-fitted suit enhances height and creates a balanced, strong impression.
2. Short
If you are of modest height, don't worry. The secret lies in choosing suits with deep V-shaped lapels and buttons placed low, so that the upper body looks longer. A tone-on-tone suit from jacket to trousers also keeps the look seamless and very effectively “cheats” height.
A suit with minimal details and tone-on-tone color helps lengthen the body's proportions.
3. Fuller build
For a fuller build, the suit should not be skin-tight but should fit just enough to stay comfortable while still looking neat. Dark shades such as charcoal, navy or black help the figure look slimmer. If you like an accent, choose fine vertical stripes: subtle, and helping “lengthen” the figure.
A dark-colored suit in a lightweight fabric creates a slimmer, more elegant impression.
4. Balanced build
With the advantage of a harmonious frame, you can freely choose almost any suit cut. Slim fit or tailored fit will be an ideal choice to show off the lines of the body. Then the most important thing is style: let accessories such as a tie, lapel pin or pocket square speak for your own personality.
