The Secret to Finding High-Quality Affordable Slim Fit Suits That Fit Like They Were Made for You

 

Now that business casual and athleisure outfits are so common, it’s surprising how much you can accomplish with just a few sports coats and trousers. But there’s always a moment for every man when this simple trick stops working. Eventually, an event or situation will come along where you’ll need to shop for, buy, and wear a proper suit.

And when this time comes, you’ll see that the market for men's suits is no joke. From different fits to styles, fabrics to construction techniques, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of options. And if you're not careful, all these choices can cost you a pretty penny. 

How do you get a suit without spending too much? Here's what you need to do to find high-quality, affordable slim fit suits that fit like they were made for you: 

Deciding on the style and fit of your suit 

Figuring out the perfect suit starts with picking the right style and fit. First, think about where you'll be wearing it — will it be for work, a party, a formal event, or maybe a wedding? A suit for business meetings will need to look sharp and professional, while one for a casual outdoor wedding might lean more relaxed and fun. 

Another thing to think about before buying a suit is the message you want to send with your outfit. Are you trying to stand out at work, or just look modern and stylish at a social event? You should also think about the weather where you live since that will play a big role in what fabric works best for you.

Single-breasted suit  

A single-breasted suit has one row of buttons and a small overlap of fabric. It gives a classic and conservative look that works well for both work and social events. 

Suit Secret's Vinci Men's Black Slim Fit Prom SV2T-8 formal tuxedo is a great example of a modern and affordable single-breasted suit that would work for a variety of occasions. 

Double-breasted suit 

On the other hand, a double-breasted suit has two columns of buttons with a wider overlap of fabric between the sides. This style gives off a formal and professional vibe, making it a popular choice for business settings. However, it’s not as flexible as a single-breasted suit for other occasions. Sometimes, this type of suit also has two extra buttons near the top, one on each side of the lapels. 

Suit Secret's Double-Breasted Suit Vinci DSS-4 is a great example of a classic and sharp double-breasted suit that would be perfect for any business meeting or formal event.

3-piece suit

If we're talking about formalwear, a 3-piece suit is one of our favorite options. It consists of a jacket, pants, and a matching vest. This style is great for weddings and other formal events as it adds an extra layer of sophistication. Plus, it gives you the option to take off your jacket and still have a put-together look with the vest.

Suit Secret's Men's Blue Plaid 1920s 3 Piece Suit MV2W-3 is one of their bestsellers as it combines classic elements with a modern twist.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when you’re trying on affordable slim-fit suits:  

●      Go for a slim fit that looks sharp and follows your body shape. 

●      Make sure you can move freely without feeling tight or uncomfortable. 

●      If you want to look strong and confident at work, ask for a little padding on the shoulders. But if you want to feel more relaxed and stay cool, skip the padding—especially in hot weather. 

●      For the sleeve length, a little bit of your shirt cuff should show around 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch (or 1.2 to 1.9 cm). 

●   The jacket should cover your bottom but still be short enough to make your legs look longer. 

Selecting the ideal suit fabric and color

Material

When it comes to suit fabrics, there are two main parts to think about: the fabric on the outside and the one on the inside, called the lining. The outer fabric is usually made from wool, cotton, linen, microfiber, or a mix of these, while linings are often made from silk or Bemberg. Each type of fabric has its own features, like how breathable it is, how easily it wrinkles, how strong it is, how formal it looks, and how much it costs.

Color 

The colors of your suit should match the event and how often you’ll wear it. If you only have one suit and don’t wear it much, black is likely the safest option.

However, if you need to wear a suit often, like for work every day, charcoal gray and navy blue are better options. These colors are very versatile and practical for people who wear suits regularly. They also give a classic and timeless look, making them a great choice for anyone looking for a suit they can rely on.

Once you've mastered the basic colors, you can begin exploring a variety of different colors and patterns.

Suit Secret's Gray Plaid Slim Fit Suit S2RW-1, for example, is a great way to add some personality and style to your suit collection. The subtle plaid pattern adds visual interest while still maintaining a professional and polished look. However, it's important to keep in mind the occasion when choosing more unique colors and patterns.

Another one of their bestsellers is the Men's Gray Slim Fit Party Wedding Suit SV2T-8, with trimmed lapels and a full-lined jacket. This suit is perfect for the office, weddings, and more formal events where a traditional look is expected.
