Some considerations for you:

What have you seen that you like? Is it a smart suit for business and you like the idea of a single breasted button 2 and side vents and want to add more personal touches such as a contrast lining

***See images***

Double breasted is very smart and is generally worn with the buttons done up. Pinstripe can create a formal look in double breasted and again with side vents

The trouser cut is important to compliment your jacket style. For example a formal look with a double breasted jacket can be a pleated front with a side adjuster (no belt worn) and a turnup on the bottom of the trouser or a plain bottom (we can always give you a fitting with a turnup and you decide after)

For a single breasted jacket, depending on the cut through the body will dictate the trouser shape. A more tailored trouser would be cut with a plain front and belt loops. Finished with a plain hem as we would taper the shape from the waist through the leg. Generally we would suggest a right back pocket (right handed) or which ever you prefer

They say that no two bodies are the same and we would definitely be inclined to agree

Some areas and food for thought to think about:

What’s the image you want to portray and what are you looking overall to achieve?

For example a well tailored suit, cut accordingly to you height and waist size and something that will be used for those super important business meetings

***See images***

Have you thought more about colours and patterns that really suit you? Have you looked around and taken inspiration about what you really like? Maybe having a file for images

***See images***

Have you asked others for their input into what they think genuinely suits you? Or in some cases perhaps not!

Thinking in reverse, what do you really not like about how your clothes fit you?

It maybe the length is always too long and is difficult to get the balance right for your proportions

***See images***

In this case we would measure and cut accordingly to your proportions. It’s important to note that many of us will be used to having things too long and have gotten used to this (so do we want the opposite when we are not used to this)

***See images***

What if your legs are longer in proportion to the top half of your body? We would potentially want to make the jacket line slightly longer and possibly lower the waistline for your trousers

***See images***

Maybe your upper body is more prominent and having a jacket tailored and not accentuating the broadness of your shoulders would work well. So instead of cutting the shoulder wider and emphasizing even more, we could tailor the sleeve with minimal bulk (sleeve roll and padding) and cut closer to your shoulder line. Taking slightly less shape through the waist line will also create a more flattering silhouette

***See images***

The opposite can be achieved, if for example your shoulders are more narrow. So having them cut slightly wider will create a more broad look and then having more shape through the body will create an optical illusion for your figure

***See images***

Remember in creating that overall look, we must think about the lower half. Your body is your body, but having a jacket giving the optical illusion, we want to have the trouser following the same lines…

By refining your upper body very slightly, we can straighten the trouser shape (as opposed to tapering and exaggerating your top half).
