Tips
1. General form. Wearing a suit, take the most natural position for themselves. It is not necessary to pull the stomach and straighten shoulders - you have to see how the suit will sit in their daily life, and not before the mirror in the dressing room. Then put your hands up in the hand, a little walk. If the pants or jacket hold down your movements, you missed the mark with the model or size.
2. Shoulders. Coat hangers do not dangle and wrinkle. Sleeve seam must begin strictly where the shoulder ends. If he hangs from the shoulder or on the contrary, creates a "wave", it means that the jacket you either great or small.
3. Pants. Planting trousers should fit the shape of your thighs. Here are some nuances. Firstly, the waist line should always be in place, regardless of whether you are sitting or standing. Second, the folds of trousers should fit the shape of the body - when you just stand, pants should not wrinkle or the front or rear. Third, the pants should not be too hard (on-hipster) "oblipat" hip - will be uncomfortable to sit, and others will know what underwear you prefer. Fourth, step line should be high enough to avoid sagging. Otherwise, it will create "the effect of trousers." Pants with low armhole, of course, have the right to life, but not in a business suit.
4. Length trousers. Pants too long, if the leg "lies" on the shoe to form a large fold. Pants too short, if the leg does not touch the shoes and socks are visible. Pants the right length, if the cuff a little leg rests on the shoe, creating an elegant faint crease. Remember: if you do not have your size, it is better to buy pants a little longer - they can bend in the studio.
5. Buttons. To check if your jacket is small in circumference, stand before a mirror and fasten the top button of one. In a well-fitting single-breasted jacket lapels and floors neatly converge with each other, the button is fastened freely without tension. If your jacket is small, it is formed in the stomach ugly crease in the form of the letter "X", out of which the top and bottom will peek shirt and a button will puff up as if about to come off. If your jacket is great, the floors will be connected overlap, like a robe with the smell.
6. The length of the sleeve. Golden Rule sleeve length ratio jacket, shirt sleeve length - 1.5 cm. It is so the shirt cuff should "look out" from under his jacket. If the cuff is completely hidden, so the jacket sleeve is too long, if fully visible - too short. Regarding shirt with short sleeves, then to determine the ideal length of the sleeve, guided by the wrist joint. Jacket sleeve should be slightly longer than the wrist crease.
7. The length of the jacket. Jacket should be long enough to cover the curves of the buttocks, and short enough to be opened as a line longer legs. There are two ways to determine the ideal length of a jacket. First, measure the length on the back of the collar to the floor, and then divide the result by two. Second: to use as a "ruler" hands. To do this, drop them at the seams (without pulling or straining specifically) - jacket should end about the middle of the palm. However, this method has "error" - the accuracy of the measurement greatly depends on the individual anatomical features of the person.
8. Collar. Collar jacket must adhere perfectly to the collar of a shirt, which, in turn, should ideally bow neck. Ideally, that is not "choke" and not "hang out." Stand sideways to the mirror and look at the collar. If the collar is drawn back or underneath the folds are formed, this jacket does not suit you. The reasons may be different - no one size does not fit in the shoulders, etc.
