Body Shape Guide: Tailoring Suggestions by Katelyn Milley Rectangle - You may find that the waists of skirts and pants need to be let out to fit properly. Oval - Unless the fabric in the skirt is fluid and has drape, it is important to gently taper the skirts of rectangle-silhouette clothing. Hourglass - Because your thighs are wider than your hips and a defined waist is so critical, it is important to carve in side seams from the underarm to the hip/thigh. Figure Eight - You will often need to alter garments to fit your high hip by letting out the seams just below your waist. This includes bottoms of jackets and blouses and the top part of skirts. Skirts should be tapered near the hemline. Triangle - Your dresses will likely need the waist and shoulders taken in to fit you properly. Inverted Triangle - Your dresses and jackets will likely need the hip taken in to fit you properly. - Katelyn Milley www.katelynmilley.com Photo Credit: Olesia Buyar on Unsplash.com

The biggest mistake men make when buying a suit is NOT prioritizing a perfect fit. You might think you can pull off an off-the-rack suit, but a tailor's expertise unlocks its true potential. Here's why alterations are a must The Shoulder Situation Droopy, wrinkled shoulders are a dead giveaway for an ill-fitting suit. A tailor ensures a snug, clean shoulder line, the foundation of a sharp silhouette. Waistline Wizardry A slightly tapered waistline accentuates your physique. Off-the-rack suits often hang loose, losing that polished, powerful look a tailor can deliver. Perfect Pant Length That sloppy, excess fabric pooling at your ankles? A tailor fixes that. Aim for a slight crease where your trousers meet your shoes – clean, modern, and intentional. Remember, A well-tailored suit, even a moderately priced one, always outshines a poorly fitted designer piece. Invest in alterations – it's the upgrade that'll take your suit game to the next level. #mensuits #menfashion #tailormade #bespokefashion #jurani

Bomber jackets? Tailoring? Do those two things go together? Yes, they can! 🔥 Here's how: ➡️Opening up the sleeve cuff of a bomber jacket will reveal extra fabric, which can be used to lengthen the jacket if needed. ➡️This technique can be particularly useful if you need a little extra length in your jackets for a better fit! I’m always an advocate for customizing and tailoring clothing to “suit” your body type perfectly. Even when it might be a little unexpected! Let me know in the comments what other styling tips and tricks you’re interested in! Nothing's too crazy or out there!

Buying a suit off the rack has its cons. You need to fit into a pre cut garment that wasn't made for your body shape or measurements. Key Measurements: Collar Size - The collar length is cut from a single piece of fabric which connects to the lapels of the jacket. Getting this correct prevents the dreaded collar gap at the back or side of the jacket. It also ensures a snug feel around the neck. Shoulders - The shoulders are the most important measurement to get right and cant be altered by a tailor. It improves drape and silhouette in the overall suits. Incorrect shoulders will feel tight and restricted or feel boxy and droop your shoulders. Incorrect shoulders cause shoulder divots (indents on the sides of jacket) Upper back - Upper back is a crucial measurement which again cant be altered by a tailor. The upper back should have sufficient fabric for you to move your arms freely. Pretend to give someone a hug you shouldn't feel pulling or feel restricted. Button positioning - The button stance is where the button sits on the jacket, this should sit around the belly button. Armhole - The arm hole needs to be correct again to avoid shoulder divots and to not restrict movement. Rise of pants - Lastly pants rise, something many people overlook. In recent years due to fashion trends pants have been cut with a low rise. Majority of pants at department stores are low rise. You wants to aim for a mid - high rise pants. The rise of the pants is the measurements of the crotch and where the waistband sits on your stomach. Everything else can be altered by a experienced tailor. If you have workable sleeve buttons (surgeon cuffs) its best to have the sleeve shortened from the shoulder. This is due to the fact the sleeve button holes are already cut and therefore cant be moved. #suits #tailoring #custom #bespoke #mensfashion #alterations #newcastle #premiumbespoke

How To Choose Shoes For Suits Of Different Colors?

I don't like wearing a tie... Is what I am often told these days🍀🍀. Indeed, times have changed, and while I love the look of the three piece suit and tie, I see more and more suits worn without ties. While a suit with a well chosen tie will always be the #goldstandard for the serious professional🧑💼, one worn without a tie can display a certain authoritarian suave😎. Here are some guidelines to ensure your #suave does not slip into sloppy 🤭. Lighten up✨: lightweight and light to medium-dark coloured suits in less formal patterns tend to suit the look best. Likewise, the same goes for dress shirts in regard to pattern. Details matter👀: it's easy for this look to slip into sloppy if essential aspects such as fit, coordination and cleanliness slip. This also includes remembering to keep your #jacket buttoned when up and moving around and making sure your shoes👞👞 are polished and in good repair. Loosen up🎊: #suits worn without a tie are often those with less structure and fit as well as thin to classic width lapels. Unbutton the top two buttons of your dress shirt to complete the casualization. Stand-up Collars📂: with no tie to hold a collar up they can lay too flat against the shirt. Remedy this by starching #collars and collar stands and wearing collar stays. Accessorize💫: Give your look an extra boost with a coloured or patterned pocket-handkerchief.

Keys To a Great Cut 🔑 ✂️ Here are my hard and fast rules to a truly great tailored suit. Shoulder line: A sharp shoulder line is a must. 1cm too wide or too narrow can ruin a beautiful suit or jacket. Waistline: I have an obsession with the waistline. An opportunity is often missed to help the wearer look slimmer and sleeker (even when they’re not!) This is where I developed our exclusive seam shaping design. Sleeve length: Men often raise their arms and say- sleeves are too short. Mainly because they’re so used to drowning in long sleeves. Your sleeves should hit your wrist bone and your shirt should sit 1-2cm below. Jacket length: The perfect length is sitting just below your bum cheeks. There are varying ways to work out where’s best but the eye (a good one) knows exactly where it should sit to flatter and balance. Button position: So often I see the button position in completely the wrong place. It should be at the smallest part of your waist. If you think ‘I’m tubby, there is no small part’ then you’ll find it by placing your hands into the small of your back/waist this is where your button position should be in alignment with.
