Memorable events equate to memorable items of clothing. When what we wear matters a lot, we want to look our best by wearing a well-fitted and personally designed outfit. And how can we achieve this?
Nothing comes close to custom-made suits if we desire perfect-fit apparel. This suit is the most sought-after because of its personalized appeal. Why personalized? It is created by a skilled tailor to fit the customer based on his specific body measurements and preferences.
Here’s a guide to help you step into style by designing your perfect custom-made suit:
Textile Matters
When it comes to durability and timeless appeal, choose wool. Moreover, if you want more comfort on summer days, choose linen or cotton which has lighter weight. But for more luxurious appeal, you may consider a cashmere or a wool-silk blend. Of course, you have also the freedom to choose your favorite or preferred color from classics like navy, charcoal, and black or bolder hues for a more memorable statement. Remember that the fabric sets the tone.
Single or Double-Breasted Style
Single-breasted suits have one, two, or three buttons, which are considered classic, versatile, and perfect for many occasions. Double-breasted, on the other hand, may have four to six buttons which offer a bolder, more sophisticated style for more formal events.
Furthermore, the collar style can be a notch lapel which is common for business suits, or a peak lapel with greater formality and flair that is perfect for special or evening events. There is also the shawl lapel which some consider to be the fanciest which can adapt to both formal and casual settings.
It Must be Fit
Fit is the most crucial element of a custom-made suit where every part of the clothing is perfect to a T. Detailed measurements of your body will be taken care of by the tailor but you will be the one to select the fitting you want. If you want something that contours your body, choose the modern slim fit. However, if you prefer more room in the chest and waist for a traditional, timeless look, then go for a classic fit. Finally, a relaxed fit is perfect for comfort with style.
Customized Details
You also have options regarding the buttons, they can be made from horn, plastic, or metal. You can even decide on the number of buttons on your jacket’s cuff. While on pockets, the welted one is the most formal while patch pockets are more casual and relaxed. Though most suit linings are hidden, you can still choose from bold patterns, luxurious fabrics like silk, or even a custom design sewn into it.
Counterpart Trousers
Decide on your preferred high, mid, or low rise, with or without pleats or a flat front. The leg width may be tapered or a looser cut, and the hem can be straight or cuffed trousers, all up to you.
So, if you really want to look your best during special events, don’t think twice, go for custom-made suits!
