Whether you’re planning to wear a suit for prom or a wedding, it’s important that it fits you correctly. According to the experts at Zaccariello's Tailor & Formal Wear, a well fitted suit can transform your appearance and leave the perfect impression. Serving residents throughout Wallingford, CT, the premier shop offers an impressive selection of men’s formal wear, including suit and tuxedo rentals, as well as accessories and tailoring services.

Below, the men’s formal wear experts discuss a few ways you can determine if your suit fits correctly:

• Shoulder: The shoulders of a well-fitted suit should lie flat, and the top seam and pads should meet the sleeve of your suit where your arm meets the shoulder. If the seams are sagging, your suit is too big and must be tailored. 
• Jacket Closure: When you try on the suit, button the jacket to ensure it closes properly over your body. There shouldn’t be any strain or wrinkles at the closure. Additionally, the two halves of the jacket beneath the button should not spread too far apart.
• Sleeve Length: The rule of thumb for sleeve length is that no more than half of an inch of the shirt cuff should be seen beyond the jacket cuff. However, the jacket shouldn’t completely hide the cuff of the shirt, either. If the jacket fits properly, but the sleeves are too long, ask a tailor to make the necessary alterations. 

Finding a suit that fits properly will increase your confidence and help to show off your best self.
