5 tips for choosing the best men's suit
A men's suit is likely the most important clothing item in your wardrobe when it comes to workwear. Whether it's for a job interview or another day at the office, your suit makes you stand out for the right reasons. But with so many different options on the market, it can be challenging to choose the suit that suits you best. This article covers five things to consider when buying a new suit at TheGarrison.nl. Let's take a look at these tips and see if they apply to you...
What size men's suit should I have?
The size of a men's suit you buy is extremely important. An oversized suit looks sloppy and ill-fitting. If it's too small, it appears extremely uncomfortable and restricts movement. A good rule of thumb is to try on the suit with the same size pants you expect to wear with it. A ready-made suit always has a different pant size. For example, a ready-made size 50 EU comes with pants size 34. If you have jeans in your size, they can be useful when trying on suits. You can then check the size indicated in your jeans and take that into account when ordering your suit. At TheGarrison.nl, we also have large suit sizes. Our suits go up to size 62. If you want to know which pants size corresponds to which suit size, we've created a list for you below.

How do I know if my men's suit is of good quality?
A good way to see if a men's suit is of good quality is by touching the fabric. The small details in a suit reveal a lot about its quality. Check the seams, buttons, and pockets to see if they are well-sewn and in the right place. You can tell a lot about a suit's brand just by looking at these small details. The fabric of the suit should also give you a good idea of its quality. Higher-quality fabrics are more durable, feel softer, and look more refined. Lower-quality fabrics are typically stiffer and do not drape as nicely. Higher-quality suits usually last longer than cheaper options. It's worth the extra money to invest in a more expensive fabric. It will last longer and is better for everyday wear. At The Garrison, we have suits of very good quality and fine fabrics. Want to see this for yourself? Feel free to order with free shipping and returns and inspect the quality at home.
What fit should my men's suit have?
There are different fits to choose from. For example, you have a slim fit suit that fits snugly to your body. A slim fit suit looks very sporty and stylish but should match your body type. If you are very slim, then a slim fit is a good choice. If your body type has a slightly wider waist than your chest, go for a regular fit. It's slightly looser and will complement your body type better.
What color should my men's suit be?
It depends on the occasion and the style of the suit. If you're wearing it to the office, you might want a more formal color like gray or dark blue suit. For a job interview, you usually want to wear a navy blue suit. For more casual occasions, you can wear a charcoal gray or black suit.
What details should I add to my men's suit?
A nice tie can add a lot to your suit. A high-quality tie that matches the color of your men's suit can really make your suit stand out. A classic pocket watch with your waistcoat can also look fantastic. A good tie is another important detail of a men's suit. Make sure the color is right, and that the shirt worn under the suit matches the men's suit and tie. If your suit has a pattern or check, make sure your shirt has a solid color to avoid a busy look. If you want the classic look, it's wise to add a knitted tie. If you're looking for a suit that already looks classic, go for a beautiful tweed suit.
3-piece or 2-piece suit?
Most men's suits are 2-piece, but 3-piece suits are becoming increasingly popular. If you're not sure, it's best to go for a three-piece men's suit. This way, you can always choose whether to wear it in full or just a part of the suit. A three-piece suit consists of a jacket, a waistcoat, and trousers, while a 2-piece suit only has trousers and a jacket. This can really make a difference in your look. The materials you choose for your suit will also vary based on the type. As you can see, there are many things to consider when buying a men's suit. Whether you're buying a men's suit for the first time or replacing your old one, following the tips above should help.
