So I'm looking to order my first ever MTM suit from Get Smart. I'm going to go for something along the lines of his more conservative cut in a navy wool but I am unsure of some of the details I want the suit to have. The suit will be for business, mostly worn at after-work professional events in my industry and the occasional interview so I don't want it to be too outlandish. That being said I am obviously still going for a much more modern cut than the average business suit. If it helps, I'm 23, work in real estate development and am in NYC.
I'm wondering about how appropriate some of the following details are on a business suit:
I'm wondering about how appropriate some of the following details are on a business suit:
- Slanted jacket pockets"”I like the look of them, and already have a suit I wear for business that has them, but for some reason they seem more casual to me
- Ticket pocket"”is there anything going for or against this on a business suit? How about one that overlaps the main pocket?
- "˜Frog-mouth' trouser pockets"”My inclination is to go with the traditional side-entry pockets since they are the most common, though I wouldn't be opposed to doing frog-mouth in the future
- 2.5" notch lapel"”is this too skinny for professional wear? Should I go up to 3"?
- Sleeve length"”how much cuff would be too much to show on a suit like this?
- Jacket Length"”what is the shortest I can go on the jacket without the suit going from looking stylish & modern to overly trendy? For reference I'm 5'7" and typically around 37S jacket size.
Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to hearing any input you can provide.- Ticket pocket"”is there anything going for or against this on a business suit? How about one that overlaps the main pocket?
