Suits Fitting: Dealing With Weight Loss and Gain

Are you struggling with weight gain or loss? Here are some suits fitting best practices that can help.

Many men deal with weight fluctuations at some point in their lives. Whether it’s because you had one too many meals during the Christmas holidays or you are starting the new year in the gym. Either way, these changes in your weight will have a significant effect on your suits, and by extension, your comfort and confidence.

If you gain a lot of weight, your suits will feel tight and limit your movement. If you lose a significant amount of weight, the suit will feel too loose and sloppy. However, there are some practical suit-fitting tips that can help you deal with either weight loss or gain so that you can always look and feel great.

Best Suits Fitting Tips for Dealing  With Weight Fluctuations

– Have your tailor keep an inlay of fabric to allow for changes in weight over your suit’s lifespan. An inlay is especially useful when you gain weight, as it will enable your tailor to expand your outfit.

Suit alterations can help make sure your suit hugs your body properly when you gain or lose weight. Your outfit should not be too tight or loose. If you lose weight and your outfit hangs loosely on your body, have your tailor take in the sides of your suit jackets and trousers, and this will help them fit more snugly without being too tight.

-When trying on suits, always move around in them to make sure that they are comfortable and allow you to move freely. You don’t want to be restricted in any way when you are trying to make a good impression.

-If you are not sure whether a suit fits well, ask a professional tailor for help. They will tell you if the fit is correct and make any necessary alterations.

-If your weight fluctuates frequently, consider investing in a few suits with stretchy fabric so that they can better accommodate your changing body, sometimes without requiring suit alterations. What’s more, a bonus of investing in stretchy fabrics is that they are more comfortable to wear.

Looking and feeling great in your suits is essential, no matter the reading on your scale.
