European-style Suit. Great For Slim Guys.




I'm a huge fan of the sleek and skinny European-style suit. It's most flattering on guys with an average or slim build. Men who are muscular or are on the heavier side should probably stay away from this style because you would literally look like you are busting out of your suit.

European-style suits have a "shrunken" feel to them. Everywhere is lean. The waist on the jacket is very well defined, the pant waist is high, the legs are narrow to the point of almost uncomfortable and the pant hems are so short your socks show even when you're standing up.

Jay Su here wanted something of the sort but opted for a tiny bit more relaxed fit. He didn't want skin tight but he also didn't want boxy. We made him a suit that was in between. The legs are narrow but still comfortable. Keep in mind, narrow pants means it will break more at the front. His jacket length is an inch shorter than what we'd normally make for a guy his height simply because he wanted longer legs.

The result is a skinny but comfortable suit. Hooray for European-style suits! They make you look tall and lean which is look desired by many modern guys.
