When TomFord said, “A man in a well-tailored suit will always shine brighter than a guy in an off-the-rack suit,” he wasn’t just talking about clothing. He was talking about presence.
A suit isn’t just something you wear—it’s something that speaks. It frames how others see you and, more importantly, how you carry yourself. At Monsieur Future, we believe that a perfectly fitted suit isn’t about following rules—it’s about creating a look that works with your body, your style, and your lifestyle. Here’s how to get it right.
How Should a Suit Jacket Fit?
A well-fitted jacket is the centrepiece of your suit. It balances structure and ease. It should feel like it was made for you—even if it wasn’t.
👔 Shoulder Alignment
The shoulder seam should sit exactly where your natural shoulder ends. Too short, and it looks tight. Too long, and it droops. Get this right, and everything else flows.
🧥 Jacket Closure
Button the jacket. It should close without tension or pulling. The fabric should lie flat, allowing ease of movement while maintaining a clean silhouette.
👕 Sleeve Length
Let a small part of your shirt cuff show—about 1 to 2 cm. It’s a subtle detail, but it shows attention to craftsmanship.
📏 Jacket Length
Your jacket should cover your seat and align with your thumb knuckles when your arms are down. This keeps proportions balanced and flattering.
🔹 Lapels
The lapel should rest flat against your chest. No gaps, no gaping. A well-placed lapel frames your face and sets the tone of the jacket.
🧍♂️ Chest
You should have room to breathe and move, without pulling across the buttons. A tight chest ruins the lines; too loose, and you lose structure.
🔄 Back Vents
Whether you prefer single or double vents, they should stay closed when standing still and open only when you move. This keeps your jacket looking sharp from all angles.
How Should Suit Trousers Fit?
Your trousers should follow your form without clinging to it. They should move when you move—and still keep their shape.
👖 Waist
The waistband should sit comfortably—no belt needed. If it slides down or digs in, it’s not the right fit.
📐 Rise
The rise determines how high the trousers sit on your waist and how they drape. Too low, and it cuts the silhouette. Too high, and it can feel outdated. Aim for balance.
🥿 Leg Length and Break
• Full Break: A deep crease at the shoe. Traditional and formal.
• Half Break: A light crease, perfect for everyday elegance.
• Quarter Break: Minimal crease, clean and modern.
• No Break: Ends just above the shoe, very contemporary and sharp.
Choose the one that matches your style—and your shoes.
➰ Leg Width
Avoid excess fabric, but don’t go too slim either. The line should taper naturally from thigh to ankle, following your frame.
Want the Perfect Fit? Work with a Tailor
Even the best ready-to-wear suit can benefit from minor tweaks. If you’re visiting a tailor, here are a few tips:
• Speak up: Don’t be shy about your preferences.
• Know the limits: Some things, like shoulder width, are hard to change.
• Be open: A good tailor will advise you based on what works.
• Try it on: Sit, walk, raise your arms—your suit should move with you.
• Details matter: Buttons, lapels, vents—ask about them.
• Bring your shoes: It helps get the break just right.
