Suit Jacket Cut

Suit Jacket Cut Men's suit jackets are defined by many things: the fabric from which they are made, including its color and weight; the style or cut of the suit; the details or trimming applied; the degree of customization to its wearer, etc. Of these, the cut is paramount – a poorly cut suit will never look right on the wearer, regardless of the quality or detailing. The cut of a suit is a product of two elements: the overall silhouette and the particular proportions of the man who will be wearing it. A good tailor will cut a suit to flatter the wearer's best features and diminish any flaws, which is perhaps the best argument for having one's suits custom tailored.

Mens suits: Modern Suits styles for 2012

Men’s fashion trends are greatly different to women’s. They exist, yes. But their cycle moves much slower. Nowhere is that truer then of men’s suit trends. While there are distinct styles of suits that feature amongst 2011′s fashion trends I should note from the get-go that they’re not unique to the year – in fact, many of the key looks you’ll find in this guide will still be in-fashion come 2012 and beyond. Which is a great thing – it means you can afford to spend more on a suit thus buying a quality piece of workmanship that you’ll still be able to wear for many a year to come. The same can’t be said of most fashion trends.

MILAN (AP) - Gentlemen, things are going to get serious next fall and winter. It could be the crisis gloom, but many Milan designers are thinking business. Double-breasted suits are a favorite in preview shows that continued Sunday for a second day. As are flat leather bags, good for computers, or even newspapers. Shoes are classics, oxford lace-ups, loafers, fringed moccasins or ankle boots, often with silver accents. A bit of bling? Suits are tailored, and colors are dark and sober, with luxury expressed mostly through the materials - alpaca, cashmere and tweeds. There is little sportswear in this round of Milan menswear with the overcoat making an elegant comeback. Scarves are also making a strong showing - a layer of security, not only against the bitter winter nights but also the financial chill.
