A well-tailored suit is a wardrobe essential that exudes confidence, sophistication, and style. However, the key to looking your best in a suit is not just about wearing one—it’s about styling it the right way according to your body shape and size.
At Cayana, we understand that every individual is unique, which is why we help you choose the perfect suit that flatters your body type and enhances your personal style. Let us explore different ways to style a suit and how Cayana helps you achieve a tailored look that enhances your confidence.
1. Classic vs. Modern Fit: Finding Your Style
Classic Fit Suit
- A traditional, slightly looser fit that offers comfort and a timeless appearance.
- Best for men with a broader frame, as it provides a balanced silhouette.
- Ideal for corporate settings and formal occasions.
- (We want to give the idea that the broad look isn’t really flattering and doesn’t find relevance in trending choices anymore – it might be divisive to some, so i need your view on this)
Modern Fit Suit
- A slimmer, more tapered cut that enhances the body’s natural shape.
- Works well for lean and athletic body types.
- Versatile enough for both business and social events.
Cayana Tip: If you’re unsure which fit suits your body type, our experts at Cayana will guide you through personalized measurements and styling recommendations.
2. The Power of Single-Breasted vs. Double-Breasted
Single-Breasted Suit
- Features a single column of buttons (usually one, two, or three).
- A versatile option suitable for most body types.
- Works well for both casual and formal occasions.
Double-Breasted Suit
- Has two parallel rows of buttons, creating a structured and sophisticated look.
- Ideal for taller men or those wanting a more authoritative appearance.
- Best suited for business meetings and formal events.
Cayana Tip: If you’re shorter or have a heavier build, a single-breasted suit with a tailored fit will help elongate your frame, giving a sharper look.
3. Choosing the Right Lapel for Your Body Type
Lapels play a crucial role in defining the proportions of your suit. Here’s how to choose the right one:
- Notch Lapel: The most versatile choice, perfect for business and casual wear. Suitable for all body types.
- Peak Lapel: Creates a broad-shouldered effect, ideal for shorter or slimmer men who want a powerful stance.
- Shawl Lapel: Found on tuxedos, usually made with Satin; this lapel gives a sleek, sophisticated look for evening wear.
Cayana Tip: At Cayana, we customize lapels to ensure they align with your body shape and face structure for a proportional and stylish fit.
