Read on to find your fit.īefore you dig in to find your fit and measure for a suit, there are a few things you should understand about how to read suit sizes. From the basics (“How should a suit fit?” or “How should a tux fit?”) to the specifics (“How do I measure for a tux?”), we’ve got the answers. The most exciting part? You may not actually need to measure for a suit at all. That can feel risky, and you wouldn’t be the first person to stand in front of your full-length mirror, mouth agape, asking yourself “What is my suit size? And… who am I, really?” We can’t help you with the second part of your literal self-reflection, but we can help you find the suit size you need. (Truly formal wear’s Sophie’s Choice if ever there was one.)
Perhaps you’re renting the traditional brick-and-mortar way, and trying to decide whether you should learn how to measure for a suit yourself, or trek to the mall to have your inner thigh measured by a surly sales associate.
