How To Choose A Suit Design

By Clement Sancharo

The suit is the most popular garment worn by men in the United States and many other countries. These garments are worn by people of every age, race, religion, and sexual orientation. As a result the suit comes in many different colors, materials, shapes, and designs.

This article does not cover all the different aspects of suits, but it will give you a better idea of what each general design looks like. After reading this article you will know how to identify all five designs used in today's suits.

The solid patternless suit is the most popular suit worn in the United States. This suit does not have any markings and only has one color. Slip on this suit for formal occasions and strict office settings.

The striped suit design is created by using vertical lines as a design for your suit. This suit adds a nice splash of color to an otherwise plain suit and makes the wearer look more powerful.

The windowpane design is created by running both horizontal and vertical lines on the jacket and trouser to make square or rectangular patterns throughout the suit. Wear this suit in less formal situations that call for a little more style.

The herringbone design is created by running v shaped patterns in line with each other on the trouser and jacket. This is mostly found in winter suits as it is only ever created using thick wool materials. Wear this in the winter to any event you see fit.

The check patterned suit is created using closed patterned windowpane designs. This suit can be tricky to wear, but gratifying as well. Put on this suit before attending a party requiring a suit or some other less formal situation.
