Suit up for Fall
Initially a web-driven apparel brand now partnered with Nordstrom, Bonobos just launched its new fall men’s suit collection of tailored wool suits, tweed blazers and tuxedos.
“Fit is the most important detail for a suit. Marry that with classic colour options and quality fabric, and you have a great looking, versatile suit for every occasion”
— Dwight Fenton, Bonobos VP of Design
FENTON’S 3 SIMPLE SUIT TIPS TO FIND THE RIGHT FIT:
1. Fit starts with the shoulders: The jacket should grab your shoulders snuggly but not be overly tight. If the shoulders fit, pretty much anything else can be adjusted.
2. Length matters: To determine the appropriate length, you should be able to cup the bottom of the suit with your arms by your side.
3. Show some shirt: A flexible but general rule of thumb is to have a quarter inch of your shirt cuff showing. If you’re wearing a heavier cuff, like a french cuff, you may want to show a little more.
