How A Suit Should Fit | Quick Fitting Guide To Look Great In Men's Suits, Sports Jacket, Blazers

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to proper suit fit, covering six key areas: shoulder seams, jacket waist, sleeve length, jacket length, jacket collar, and trouser fit. He establishes specific criteria for identifying when each component is too tight, too loose, or properly fitted to create a polished appearance.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that shoulder seams should end exactly where the arm meets the shoulder—too high indicates the suit is too small, too extended means it is too big
  • Centeno teaches that proper jacket waist fit should be close to the body with clean drape, avoiding both pulling and bagginess
  • Centeno recommends sleeve length should show between a quarter to a full inch of shirt cuff, and trouser length should rest lightly on top of the shoes without showing socks or pulling
