My opinion is that slim fit is not smart. Slim fit suits look foolish, they did in the 60's and do today in the same way that leisure suits never were going to work. Additionally, the slim fit suit only works on skinny people (they dont even work, they make you look even skinnier). Have you seen one on a muscular or even just a tad overweight person lately? Oy vey, its like a fat woman in a mini skirt and blouse with hordes of clevage exposed. Plus they fit like ****, make your feet look like gunships and are constricting as hell.
I think when many Americans say 'slim fit', they are thinking of an 'European fit'. Which means well-fitted. I mean, no offence to trads, but straight-sided sack, dart-less suits are just deplorable.

As someone who tends to only wear slim suits, I would point you to Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, Paul Smith, Dior Homme, Lanvin, Ralph Lauren PL, Duncan Quinn.

My favorite fitting is Dolce & Gabbana as it has a great slim trouser and nice shoulder and armhole.

I despise baggy clothing so it must be slim fitting. Thanks for the help. Please note I live in North Carolina and we dont have any good stores for suits.

At that price point D&G and Z-Zegna are decent choices.

Since you live in NC I would recommend going to see the Billy Reid suits. They are slim and for a good price.

I think you will be safe with pretty much any "fashion" brand. ie. prada, gucci, dolce and gabbana, bottega veneta, dior, z zegna, ralph lauren black label.
