What you'll learn

Key ideas in Everyday Men's Style

  • The shoulder seam should sit right where the arm meets the shoulder point
  • Rebuilding jacket shoulders is structurally complex and usually costs more than buying a new jacket
  • Most other areas like sleeve length or waist tapering are quick, cheap fixes
  • Trouser break refers to the fold or crease made when the fabric hits the shoe
  • A no-break hem skims above the footwear for a clean, modern look
  • A slight break creates a single subtle ripple, while excessive pooling makes legs appear shorter
  • A proper fit rests the suit collar directly against the shirt collar all the way around
  • A gap behind or to the sides of the shirt collar means the jacket's chest or upper back is cut wrong for your posture
  • Shirt sleeves should hit right at the hinge of the wrist bone when arms hang naturally
  • Jacket sleeves should end about a quarter- to half-inch higher to expose a strip of shirt cuff
  • Sleeves extending down onto the hand make the entire garment look oversized
  • Good fit follows natural body contours without clutching tight or puffing out
  • An 'X'-shaped tension crease across the button means the piece is too tight
  • Muffin-topping or heavy folds tucked into trousers indicate too much excess torso fabric
  • Trouser rise dictates where the waistband sits on your torso
  • A high rise draws the waistline upward, making the legs appear longer
