One-buttoned suit for tall people

[swedeli]

Hi.

What are your thoughts of the subject?
Obviously, a one-buttoned suit may often look really bad on tall people. My question is: With the right fitted suit, can a one-buttoned suit look decent for a tall person. I am of course thinking of a casual suit, not a business suit.

Just to put a number on it, let's for the sake of the discussion temporarily define tall as 6.3 feet (193 cm) or above.

Height can be balanced out with wider lapels or peak lapels. A medium gorge will work better than a high or low gorge.
Provided the overall proportioning of the jacket quarters, jacket length and jacket-to-pant ratio are well balanced then, yes, a single button jacket can work fine on a taller gent. Welcome to Styleforum.

Thanks alot, this was precisely the information I was looking for.

I have tried a suit from Filippa k (Christian Coolwool model), which is a slim jacket fitting me pretty good. Picture below.

Though, as I am travelling til Sydney, Australia in a week, for 3 months, I figured that buying a suit here in Norway might be foolish, as both the range of brands and tailors will be way better then here, not to mention the price. I'll post a reply in an Australian thread regarding this.
