The right, modern suit for young men

Ein Anzug ist weit mehr als nur Kleidung. Er setzt den Träger gekonnt in Szene und strahlt Seriosität aus. Ein schöner Anzug lässt sich zu verschiedenen Anlässen tragen und ist teilweise sogar explizit im Dresscode gefordert. Daher gehört in den Kleiderschrank modebewusster Herren mindestens ein optisch ansprechender Anzug.

Doch worauf kommt es beim Kauf des Anzugs für junge Männer an und wie findet man das richtige Modell, das zu einem persönlich passt?

A suit is far more than just clothing. It skillfully showcases the wearer and exudes sophistication. A beautiful suit can be worn for a variety of occasions and is sometimes even explicitly required by the dress code. Therefore, every fashion-conscious man's wardrobe should include at least one visually appealing suit.

But what is important when buying a suit for young men and how do you find the right model that suits you personally?

This article explores this question in depth.


At these events, a suit is part of the dress code for young men

First of all, we would like to explain why a suit is such an essential item of clothing for young men.

Most young adults can certainly still remember the first time they dressed up for special occasions, such as confirmation or a prom. However, the carefully selected formal wear from back then probably no longer fits today.

The second suit purchase often comes as graduation approaches. Proms and graduation ceremonies have become established as typical events, and it's simply part of the experience for young graduates to dress appropriately. After all, you want to enjoy these unique moments in life to the fullest. A high-quality suit fulfills these requirements.

As a guest at a wedding, a suit is usually mandatory, and you can't go wrong with this high-quality garment for birthdays or christenings either.

In many industries, stylishly matching tops and trousers is essential for professional life. Perhaps you dream of a life as a startup founder who doesn't impose a dress code on their employees and exemplifies a casual style. Especially when it comes to the first round of financing with a venture capital investor, it's imperative to present yourself as professionally as possible.

Of course, the suit isn't a guarantee of success on its own. But it can ensure that you even get a chance to present your great idea.

Feel good in the right suit

The most important thing when buying a suit is that you can identify with the clothes. The color, cut, and pattern must suit you and your personality. No one is forcing you to wear a suit that objectively looks high-quality but doesn't suit your personality at all.

Younger men, in particular, may feel more comfortable in a jacket than in a fancy tuxedo. A black suit has long since ceased to be a de rigueur part of sophisticated evening wear. Suits in trendy colors and with a youthful, modern fit may appeal to you more.

Combining a suit top with jeans is no longer a style violation. Decide for yourself which look suits you best.

After all, if you feel uncomfortable in your clothes, you don't exude self-confidence—and that's precisely the important purpose a suit is supposed to fulfill. This is particularly detrimental when young men are already in stressful situations, such as a job interview or an assessment center. Potential meetings with business partners or correspondence with superiors also suffer.

Therefore, opt for a suitable suit and find a model that skillfully highlights you and your positive qualities instead of making you look out of place.

The body type plays an important role

Young men often make a mistake when buying a suit. They initially focus on colors and patterns without considering the suit's shape. There are important differences to consider.

GENERALLY, THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT AND COMMON BODY SHAPES:

The A-Type with a small extension of shoulders and upper body and a comparatively wide hip

The Y-type with broad shoulders and a narrow waist

The I-Type with a uniform, slim physique

The H-type , which has a uniform but somewhat corpulent physique

Tips for A-types

If you're an A-type, you'll want to accentuate your upper body. Wearing accessories or choosing a large collar has proven effective. The suit top can be a bit lighter, like wearing a light blue shirt underneath. This flatters your body shape and balances the proportions somewhat.

Tips for Y-types

Y-types hardly need to worry. Almost any suit suits them. Pleated trousers look particularly chic. It's a good idea to opt for slim-fitting suits , which show off their masculine physique to its fullest.

Tips for I-types

Pinstripes are a definite no-go for the I-type. They visually enlarge and diminish the man. Furthermore, it's advisable to avoid suits that are too wide. Opening the button adds a little extra width.

Tips for H-types

The H-type is best advised to wear pinstriped suits. To further emphasize their body shape, they rely on patterns and tailored garments.

Assess the fit step by step

First, take a look at the shoulder area. The suit shouldn't be too wide there, as this will lead to wrinkles in the back area.

Now look further down at yourself. The length is also important. The shirt can be slightly longer than the suit top, but it should, of course, be tucked into the suit trousers. However, if the suit is significantly too short, it will not only be uncomfortable, but the wearer will also look ugly in it. The buttocks should definitely be completely covered by the suit .

Is your upper body long and your legs relatively short? In this case, buying in the shorter sizes is a good idea. A shorter top looks more pronounced on shorter men, whereas taller men need a significantly longer version.

Furthermore, the length of the sleeves is an important criterion for assessing a good fit. If the sleeves partially cover the hands, the suit is too loose. If the arms are held at the sides, the sleeve should reach approximately to the knuckle.

In addition to the top, the suit trousers should also be examined. The established principle here is that the trousers should rest lightly on the shoes. This prevents them from lifting too much when sitting.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE SUIT FITS?

A true professional can tell at a glance whether a suit fits well or not. We explain what to look for when assessing the fit. Generally, there are three typical fits:

The N-type for normal-built men of medium stature

The U-type for corpulent and slightly stocky men of smaller stature

The S-type for particularly slim men of tall stature

Just like the body types discussed above, fit is only one starting point for making a better preliminary selection. The fit of the suit must always be assessed individually. We'll explain how to do this in the next section.
