The combination of basic styles and various elements is almost unlimited. Understanding your own usage purpose and considerations for life scenarios, the matching of different elements will have a clear direction, and the choice will be more reasonable. Here let's talk about the most basic suit styles to give you a clearer understanding of custom-made suits.

The style of the suit lapel varies according to personal preferences. Among them, the notch lapel and the peaked lapel are known for their regularity and elegance. A notch lapel with a width of 8 to 10 centimeters can make most men appear with a broad chest. In the 1960s and 1970s, the width of the lapels became very large, and some upturned lapels almost reached the shoulders. Contemporary fashionable men prefer narrow lapels, which make them look younger and more handsome.

The shawl lapel is unique. Historically, it was used in two completely opposite categories, formal wear and home wear, often showing a relaxed temperament. Nowadays, it occasionally appears in single/double-breasted casual tops, but generally speaking, it is not suitable for daily commuting wear.

Patch pockets have a casual style, while more formal suits tend to use welt pockets. Pocket flaps tend to make the hip joint look wider. For those who are too stout, it is recommended to use welt pockets without pocket flaps, which looks more simple and neat, and also makes the body of the clothes look slimmer.

The length of suit jackets varies from country to country. British jackets are longer, followed by American jackets, and European jackets are the shortest. There is a simple way to calculate the length of jackets that is suitable for you. When you are standing, the best length is 1/2 of the distance from your neck to the ground. For shorter people, the hem of the jacket can be moved up about 1.5 cm from the hip circumference. This will make your legs look longer and your body more symmetrical.

For a friend who is trying customization for the first time, there are many more elements to consider besides the above, but I want to say that understanding your own needs and life situation is always the first priority.
