MENSWEAR HIRE   

There is simply no substitute for a suit, dinner suit or tuxedo that fits you well. Wearing a suit that fits correctly will make you feel more comfortable, will cut down on embarrassing perspiration … and you'll look great too.

The best place to start is by getting your correct measurements, however there is more to consider than simply jacket size and inseam. The style you finally choose should be chosen to suit your body type.

A double-breasted jacket looks best on someone who is slender and tall to medium height and build. The shoulders can be padded more than normal and the waist taken in to a comfortable extent to make the body seem more muscular and create a great line. Trousers tend to look best when the legs are slightly fuller than normal with a higher rise. It is hard to go wrong with your tuxedo choice with this body type.

If you are tall and heavy set, or very muscular, the shawl-collar tuxedo is your best choice. This has the smooth, thinner collar without the notched lapels. The jacket is usually single-breasted with one button. It is important that your jacket is long enough. The easy way to tell is relax your arms at your side and your fingertips should reach the bottom of the jacket.

As with any good suit, your shirt cuffs should extend about an inch beyond the jacket sleeve.

The buttons on double-breasted jackets tend to draw attention to your midsection and make it look wider. Choose a vest over a cummerbund if you are on the heavier side since they look and feel less constricting.

If you are on the short and muscular or stocky side then the shawl collar is also right for you. The jacket should be single-breasted and the button should be around the belt line to make your torso appear longer and leaner. The jacket should not have a lot of shoulder padding. Your own shoulder line will help you look less broad in the photos.

Some people also think pleated trousers have a slimming look. The legs of the trousers should be cut as low as possible without looking unfinished to make the break between the trouser and leg look as subtle as possible. Your legs will look longer if they are angled a little in back. You should also take care to choose the right size tie and a vest over the traditional cummerbund if you are on the heavier side.

If you are shorter and thin, a single-breasted jacket with a single low button will look best on you. This will lengthen the lines of your look. A double-breasted jacket or a notched or "peak" lapel will make you look broader. Smaller bow ties are your best choice and vests with an elegant, understated pattern.
