“Before you think about
the jacket, it’s really
important to have a good
shirt with the right sleeve
length. The rule is that a
shirt has to stop at the end
of the arms or beginning
of the hands – and then
the jacket should be
0.5cm to 1.2cm shorter,
depending on your
personal taste.”SHOULDERS
“It’s very important to
have a shoulder that’s not
too big. It is one of the first
things that people notice
about a man’s suit, so the
shoulders of your jacket
should feel like they’re
hugging your own.”WAIST
“We recommend having
a slimmer waist point, but
don’t forget to feel the fit
of the jacket when it’s
buttoned. You should be
able to fit a closed fist
between where your
suit jacket button is
located and shirt.”TROUSERS
“Honestly, nowadays
there are no rules, but the
trouser length should
follow the brand style.
At Lardini we love short
trousers with a turn up,
no break on the shoes,
and with one or two pleats
in the waist – a slightly
oversized pant.”How to
