Find a suit that fits your body and personality with eBay's range of men's suits
A well-fitting suit can make a man feel ready to take on the world, and buying a correctly fitted suit is considered by many to be a rite of passage every man should go through. There’s a suit style and type for every man, but with so many fits, styles, fashions and occasions to consider, choosing the right suit is easier said than done. Here are some basics to help you end up buying a suit that ticks all the boxes in your arsenal.
Types of suit fits
Three common types of suit fits are slim fit, skinny fit and regular or classic fit. A slim fit suit is often used to show off a man’s physique. It has the power to make the body, specifically the legs, appear longer. A slim fit suit can also make a man's shoulder areas look broader while putting an enhanced focus on a trim waist with a tapering fit. There is not much extra fabric, as a skinny fit suit hugs the body. It’s fashionable and generally well-suited for young men whose bodies have not yet softened with age.
A classic or regular fit suit is what many men have grown up wearing for decades. It fits comfortably without being too baggy or too skinny. A classic fit suit puts emphasis on a man’s physique without pinching in.
Types of suit styles
For suit styles, the three common types are single-breasted, double-breasted and tuxedo suits. Perhaps the most popular and common suit style is the single-breasted suit. It has a single row of one, two or three buttons. It is considered by many to be the safest style because of its versatility, making it suitable for many occasions.
A double-breasted suit used to be considered dated. But many have been updated with the help of sleek tailoring. It has two rows of three buttons which help create the look of a wider upper body area that's suitable for leaner body types. A men's tuxedo suit is a great expression of class, elegance and sophistication.
