These days suit styles seem to blend together in a wide array of fashion disasters. However, all a person really needs to know is that their are three main types to choose from. The British, American, and Italian styles are the only three styles you'll ever need to know.

Italian style suits come with wide lapels, slit pockets, and remains vent less. These suits are always double breasted which makes them quickly recognizable.

This type of suit is great for the tall and lean man but should never be worn by the shorter stockier build. The reason for this is because the suit does not hug the waist as much as most other models and therefore has a tendency to make people look thicker than they are.

The British style suit can also be known as the English suit but the concept is still always the same. Look for three button models with average sized lapels. The pants will generally be pleated or double pleated and always cuffed.

Wear this suit to gain a more authoritative look. The reason for this is because the added material and high neckline make it look more formal than either the Italian or American styles.

The American style suit is a single breasted model with two buttons. This style of suit has flat front pants and remains un-cuffed.

This type of suit is great for showing off a man's physique. The lower neckline does a great job accentuating the chest while the flat front pants make the legs stand out more than the pleats.

Please use this knowledge to make your next suit purchase a great success, and remember to always buy a suit style that will compliment your body rather than show off its weaknesses.
