15+ Types of Suits Types Every Man Needs In His Wardrobe

Few men don’t want to have a walk-in closet full with all the different types of suits, but we’re often at a loss as to how to get there. Suits are a necessary evil for the rest of us: an insurance policy for business and social events where you want to spend the bare minimum.

Allow us to enlighten you, regardless of whatever camp you belong to. When it comes to selecting the suits every man should own, numerous factors must be considered: suit fit, lapels, buttons, vents, men’s suspenders, pants, and pockets. If it sounds like Teeanime just read a grocery list full of unfamiliar items, don’t worry. This is your one-stop shop for all men’s suit styles.

1. SLIM FIT SUIT

If you can only afford one suit, go for a blue slim-fit two-button notch lapel. There isn’t anything better. It includes information about weddings, job interviews, and court appearances. A mid-weight fabric (11-12oz) can be worn all year.
Slim-fit suits accommodate any body type. There’s just enough definition to make you seem lovely without making you look skintight (and not just your pecs). If you only remember one item from this article, make it that you need a slim-fit suit.

2. CLASSIC FIT SUIT

It’s all in the name. A classic fit suit is just that – a type of suit for men that is classic, timeless, which never out of style but is not terribly trendy, either. As a general rule, black skews formal, while light grey is more casual and summery. Navy blue will give you the most scope for day-in, day-out, year-round wear.

Ideally, you want to choose a shade – and fabric – with mileage. Until the foundations of your suit wardrobe are in place, avoid patterns like a plague of ravenous cashmere-chomping moths. Nobody will notice that you wore the same navy or grey suit for two or three days out of the week. Whereas nobody will miss you repeating a Prince of Wales check.

3. MODERN FIT SUIT

The current fit suit, ahh. In terms of fit, it’s somewhere between thin and classic, the sartorial equivalent of Oreo crème. If you’re not ready for a full-on slim fit but still want to look sharp and elegant, this is a terrific sort of suit to start with.
Don’t be misled by high ‘Super’ numbers, which indicate the fineness of the material. ‘Super’ may seem appealing, but they will wrinkle more, making them unfit for regular usage. Fine can also indicate sensitive. So, if this is your first – or only – suit, you’ll probably wear it out after a few of months of regular wear. Stick to about the $100 range when purchasing this suit for a good balance of price and durability.

4. UNSTRUCTURED BLAZER

When looking for must-have suits, it’s important to consider the structure. Slightly relaxed-cut, unstructured blazers not only eliminate sweat-inducing padding and linings, but they also speak more to the Riviera spirit of summer, as do earth and pastel tones, which always look excellent next to tanned skin.
The key to remaining cool in hot weather isn’t simply wearing the correct suit, but also wearing the right materials. Tightly woven fabrics like twill and artificial fibers may be less prone to creasing, but they limit the amount of air that can circulate through the garment, thus ultra-lightweight open-weave linen, seersucker, or hopsack are far superior choices.

5. NOTCH LAPEL

There is a visible depression or notch where the collar meets the lapel, hence the name “notch lapel” for this suit style. This men’s suit design is on the formal side, but it’s a safe pick for any event. A notch lapel is one of the most frequent forms of lapels and is generally featured on single-breasted suit coats.

6. SHAWL LAPEL

Black tie invitations may be rare — as rarely as one per year — but they will come, with increasing frequency as you get older. When they do arrive, they are almost always for times when you want to look and feel your best: a swanky work party, a wedding, a long-overdue Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Choose a shawl lapel suit in these unusual yet intriguing situations. They can only be found on the most formal of formal clothes.

7. PEAK LAPEL

In terms of fanciness, the peak lapel is only a half-step below the shawl lapel. These stylish suits can be found at formal occasions such as black-tie weddings.
Furthermore, you could wear ‘black tie creative’ dinner suits to parties even if the invitation does not specify it. If the jacket is cut slim and a little short, you may even wear it on a night out with jeans and a T-shirt.

8. SINGLE-BREASTED SUIT

The single-breasted suit is by far one of the most important outfits that every man should own. The single-breasted suit is more sleek and modern than its cousin, with only one row of buttons at the front, rather than two, or even three, if we want to go back to the mid-1930s. For the time being, we prefer not to make our own butter.
Single-breasted suits have one, two, or three buttons down the front seam in one smooth line and, generally, but not always, a notch lapel.

9. DOUBLE-BREASTED SUIT

Some style experts may suggest a summer-ready suit in lightweight khaki cotton. Instead, make a case for a muted, double-breasted suit as your dark horse: especially, an almost-black grey, or navy that’s near to midnight blue, possibly in a fabric with a shine, like mohair, with peak lapels.
What’s the reason? A black double-breasted suit is adaptable enough to be worn on a daily basis. But, with its shape, gloss, and crisp lapels, it also has a touch of swagger to it for those occasions when you need to wear a suit but don’t want to look like you just left the office, such as cocktail party invitations and weddings. Just make sure the jacket’s cut is tidy and not too lengthy.

10. SINGLE VENT SUIT

The vent on a suit is a small slit on the back of the suit jacket. A suit vent’s purpose is to make your suit seem less constricting when you’re sitting or moving around. If you’re trying on a new suit and find the vent pulling open as you stand still, the garment is probably too tight, which is a common suit fit blunder among new suitors. A single vent runs down the back of your suit jacket.

11. DOUBLE VENT SUIT

The single-vented suit’s slit is located in the center of the jacket’s back, whereas the double-vented suit’s slits are located on either side of the suit jacket’s back. Suits with side vents are more popular these days, and can be seen on all sorts of suit jackets.

12. NO VENT SUIT

No-vent suits are popular in Italy, so they must be exceptionally stylish. Some tuxedo coats are available without a vent (or two). However, these coats often fit more constrictively and uncomfortablely, making them unsuitable for everyday usage. Avoid this men’s suit type if you’re allergic to ironing.

13. FLAT FRONT PANTS

Flat front trousers are the most popular type of modern suit pants since they have no pleating or stitching at the front. These pants are less forgiving and reveal more than pleated pants. Keep in mind that creasing and pleating are not the same thing. It’s a good idea to keep your suit pants ironed.

14. PLEATED PANTS

Pleated suit pants exude a vintage vibe, which celebs like Harry Styles have been exuding with such confidence recently that we’re tempted to attempt it ourselves. They’re more comfortable to wear and more forgiving for all body shapes if you’re carrying a bit of a tummy, thanks to the pleated folds at the waistband.

15. THE PATCH POCKET

Patch pockets and contrast buttons allow you to wear a jacket and trousers as suit separates, but they also make the suit more smart-casual. A textured or patterned fabric, such as a hopsack, birdseye, or light flannel, can also aid in this area. Patch pockets can dress down a suit, so they’re great for more informal weddings, a day at the derby, or a laid-back weekend function. They can also be worn without a tie.

16. THE FLAP POCKET

Because it can be dressed up or down, the flap pocket is more versatile than the patch pocket. This is perhaps the most prevalent suit jacket style, and it can be worn from the boardroom to the beachfront for date night. Just don’t wear it beneath the boardwalk or it will wrinkle.

17. THE JETTED POCKET

A suit jacket with a jetted pocket looks more formal, and it’s the most popular sort of suit you’ll see at black tie occasions. This sort of pocket is cut into the jacket lining and hangs on the inside, as opposed to the patch pocket, which is visible from the outside.
