Determining which suit designer is best for you is a necessary skill in this day and age. The media tells us what to eat, what to drink, and even what to wear. However, sometimes we need to take a step back and do what is right for us.

I wrote this article to teach you everything you need to know about the basics of buying a designer suit. Use the knowledge contained below to make your next suit buying purchase more satisfying than ever.

Suit designs start at the shoulders and lapels. Contemporary suits will have a medium sized lapels while more vintage designs will have a wider lapels. Newer urban looks are more streamlined and usually have thinner lapels or no lapels at all.

The man with a medium build has more choices than the thinner and larger builds. The only word of caution is to get a suit jacket with a shoulder that has a natural looking padding to it. Suits to consider are Mantoni, Zanetti, and Coppley.

Large men need to look into getting broader lapels and lightly padded shoulders. Suits to consider are Haggar, Bill Blass, and Perry Ellis. These designers provide a nice lineup for the over sized man.

Smaller men need to look at a suit with more shoulder padding than normal. These suits should also have thinner lapels to give off the appearance of a larger chest. Brands to think about are Sean John, Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, and Jones of New York.

Pants can be one of three different styles. Look to find models with pleats, double pleats, and flat fronts. These styles should be chosen based off your particular build.

The thin man should always wear a pair of pants with a flat front and no cuffs. This will show off his legs rather than hide them behind pleats. Pockets should be slit pockets with no button flaps.

The average man can wear both pleats or flat fronted pants. Pant style should be chosen based off of the jacket the medium sized man decides to buy. Larger lapels call for pleats while thin lapels need flat front pants.

Big men would be advised to buy a suit with pleats or double pleats. Pleated pants do a great job at drawing attention to the suit rather than the mans leg. These pants are perfect for making anyone look fit.
