A suit refers to a close-fitting garment for the upper body, worn as the typical dress of businessmen and sometimes women. It consists of a jacket with matching trousers or a skirt.
The suit is said to have been invented in 17th century Europe by Croatian soldiers who wore camouflage jackets over their uniforms to protect them from being identified and attacked by enemies while they were at rest.
The following are the factors to consider when buying a suit for you:
1. Suit Fabrics:
Different types of fabric go into making a suit; some are synthetic, some are natural and some are mixed. They include:
Standard Fabrics: such as wool, cashmere, cotton, and silk; These fabrics have many advantages but, in addition, it is difficult to maintain the color brightness and freshness when the fabric wears out faster than other fabrics.
Fancy Fabrics: such as linen, silk, woolen, and wool; these fabrics are usually very durable but can be hot in the summer, stiff, and require dry cleanings.
2. Color of Suit
The color of a suit is an important factor to consider when buying a suit because it is what makes a suit look attractive and stand out from other ordinary ones.
Cultural variations in color preference often determine the color of suits that are bought by people. Black is a popular choice for both women and men because it does not show dirt or body oils as quickly as lighter shades do and because it looks more elegant than brown or blue. Gray can be used either as a color of contrast or in place of black, particularly in the winter. Although white is traditionally considered informal, several designers have brought white suits back into fashion.
3. Suit Style
The suit style is yet another factor to consider when buying a suit. It is the cut, pattern, and silhouette of a garment. There are different styles of suits that are available for men, women, and children.
Conclusion
Buying a suit can be a daunting task, due to the various types available and the amount of research that needs to be done to get the right one. Despite the difficulty of finding suits that are appropriate for you, with all these factors in mind, it is easy to choose the perfect suit for you.
