How a Suit Jacket Should Fit 0:05

Suit sleeves should sit just above the wrist. When you’re standing with your arms by your side, the sleeves of the suit jacket should sit comfortably grazing the joint where your thumb meets your wrist. Try to keep a good ½ inch of your shirt cuff exposed outside the jacket sleeve.

Suit jackets should just skim the groin. There should be no button strain and similarly no sagging material where the jacket buttons up.

How Suit Trousers Should Fit 0:31

Trouser legs should crease slightly where the bottom meets your shoe. You want to be able to pinch around an inch of excess material all the way up the leg for the perfect slim fit.
