It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call a suit the most powerful fashion item for men. Of course, in fashion there is never "must be like this", "must be like that", only "according to your wishes". Remember: a perfect Bespoke suit has the ability to captivate a woman's mind the same way their seductive pajamas manipulate a man's eyes.

If you want to master your Suit, the first thing you need to do is understand it clearly. Knowledge will help you be much more confident when dressing. So prepare yourself for a necessary habit: understanding about Suits. But there's no need to delve into history when what you're passionate about is just fashion. Let's start by distinguishing different suit tailoring styles around the world.

All Suit styles in the world, although extremely diverse and rich, are standardized based on the most basic origins of the seams, named after the countries where that style was raised: style. British style, Bespoke roots, Italian design, romantic elegance and "quiet" American style.

The American suit, no matter how elitist the word is, is just a historical development, but that doesn't mean the middle slit isn't attractive enough. So the real game is between classic English tailors and refined Italian tailors. Don't worry about being overwhelmed by technical terms, because here we are sharing a passion, not an academic lesson.

British Suit Style

Around the mid-19th century, England's Savile Row emerged as a phenomenon with tailors known as the number one suit tailors in the world. That's right, this is the street where the true Bespoke definition comes from, where every line and fabric has formed suits that fit customers perfectly. Also because of its truly illustrious Bespoke reputation, British tailoring always creates an amazing fit when compared to the American suit production style.

British suits often hug the upper body relatively tightly, the chest is wide and the waist is tucked in with more complex and "expensive" seams. Sleeves (at the armpit) are often sewn higher to ensure a perfect fit for the entire arm. The shoulders are often lightly padded, bringing a bit of stylization from traditional military uniforms. British tailors tend to use thicker fabrics, and the suit's shirt is often firmly shaped. The highlight that easily distinguishes the British Suit from other styles is the two slits located symmetrically at the tail of the shirt.

Italian Suit style

Italian men are famous because they are beautiful, romantic and have exceptional dressing sense. Unlike the diversity in international fashion, Italian men especially like suits. Because of those characteristics, the Italian Suit style seems the most trendy and stylish.

Both the shirt and pants of the Italian Suit hug the body creating a fit, neat and fashionable look. The chest and waist of the shirt are sewn close to the body, creating a neat feeling. In contrast to the British style, Italian tailors prefer thin fabrics. Overall, although the shirt's slit is still basic British, the Italian cuts give the Suit a slim, stylish look and are especially popular with young people.

Creativity in modern sewing is causing standards to gradually be erased. When it comes to classic standards in suit tailoring, British tailors cannot be beaten, but neat and flowing Italian suits have a special appeal because of their modern aesthetics. . Because fashion is not a stereotype, they are created for you to be the boss, so "play" the way you want on this "playground".
