The right, modern suit for young men

A suit is far more than just clothing. It skillfully sets the scene for the wearer and radiates seriousness. A nice suit can be worn for various occasions and is sometimes even explicitly required by the dress code. Therefore, fashion-conscious men should have at least one visually appealing suit in their closet.

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 gets to the bottom of this question.

The suit is part of the dress code for young men at these events. 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 remember the first time they were dressed particularly festively for certain occasions, such as confirmation or the prom. However, the carefully selected festive fashion from back then will probably no longer fit today.

The second suit purchase is often due when graduation is approaching. Proms and graduation parties have now established themselves as typical events and it is simply a matter of the young graduates dressing appropriately. After all, you want to enjoy these unique moments in life to the full. A high-quality suit fulfills these requirements.

As a guest at a wedding, a suit is also generally a must, and you won't go wrong with this high-quality garment at birthdays or christenings either.

In professional life, the stylish coordination of top and trousers is indispensable in many industries anyway. Perhaps you dream of a life as a start-up founder who doesn't impose a dress code on his employees and exemplifies a casual style. At the latest when it comes to the first financing round with the venture capital investor, it is essential to present yourself as respectably as possible.

Of course, the suit is not the only guarantee of success. But it can ensure that you get a chance to present your great idea.

Feel comfortable in the right suit

The most important thing when buying a suit is that you can identify with the clothing. The color, cut and pattern must suit you and your character. Nobody is forcing you to wear a suit that objectively looks high quality but doesn't suit your character at all.

Younger men in particular may feel more comfortable in a jacket than in a classy tuxedo. A black suit has also long since ceased to be an obligatory part of upmarket evening wear "pour homme". Suits in trendy colors and in youthful, modern fits may appeal to you more.

Combining a suit top with a pair of jeans is no longer a break in style. Decide for yourself which look suits you best.

After all, if you feel uncomfortable in your clothes, you don't radiate self-confidence - and that is precisely one of the important purposes that the suit is supposed to fulfill. This is a particular hindrance when young men find themselves in stressful situations, such as a job interview or an assessment center. Potential meetings with business partners or correspondence with superiors also suffer as a result.

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.

Figure type plays an important role

Young men often make a mistake when buying a suit. They focus first on colors and patterns without considering the shape of the suit. There are important differences to bear in mind.

IN GENERAL, THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT AND MORE COMMON BODY SHAPES:

The A-type with a slight extension of the shoulders and upper body and a comparatively flared hip

The Y-type with broad shoulders and a narrow waist

The I-type with an even, slim physique

The H-type, which has an even but slightly more corpulent physique

Tips for A-types

If you are an A-type, accentuate the upper body. Wearing accessories or choosing a large collar have proven successful. The top of the suit can be a little lighter in color. For example, a light blue shirt underneath. This flatters the physique and balances out the proportions somewhat.

Tips for Y-types

Y-types hardly need to worry. Almost any suit looks good on them. Pleated pants look particularly smart.It is a good idea to opt for slim-fitting suits. This will show off your masculine physique to its best advantage.

Tips for I-types

Pinstripes are an absolute no-go for the I-type. They visually enlarge the man and make him look smaller. It is also advisable to avoid suits that are cut too wide. Opening the button adds a little extra width.

Tips for H-types

H-types are best advised to wear pinstripe suits. To show off their body shape even better, they opt for patterns and fitted garments.

Assessing the fit step by step

First, take a look at the shoulder area. Under no circumstances should the suit be too loose here. This will lead to creases at the back.

Now look further down your body. The length is also important. The shirt may be slightly longer than the top of the suit, but should of course be tucked into the suit trousers. However, if the suit is clearly too short, it will not only be uncomfortable, but the wearer will also not cut a good figure in it. The buttocks should always be completely covered by the suit.

Is your upper body long and your legs short in comparison? In this case, it is best to buy in the short size range. A shorter top looks better on shorter men, whereas taller men need a significantly longer version.

The length of the sleeves is also an important criterion for assessing a good fit. If the sleeves partially cover the hands, the suit is too wide. If the arms are held down at the side of the body, the sleeves should reach approximately to the knuckles.

In addition to the top, the suit trousers should also be examined. Here, the principle has been established that the trousers should sit lightly on the shoe. This prevents them from lifting too much when seated.

HOW DO I JUDGE WHETHER THE SUIT FITS?

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

The N-type for men of normal build and medium stature

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

The S-type for particularly slim men of large stature

Just like the body types discussed above, the fits are only a starting point for making a better pre-selection. The fit of the suit must always be assessed individually. We will reveal how to do this in the next paragraph.
