I love suits but unfortunately, I am extremely tall and thin. I am 6'0 and 130. All suits I have tried on fit extremely big. I have been searching the internet for references for the perfect fitting suit for skinny guys.

I have two problems I find when I looking online for a reference. Skinny guys tend to wear suits either skin tight or very loose fitting. It just seems very hard for a tall, skinny guy looking for a good reference.

If anyone can post some styles for suits that fit perfect I would be the most grateful. If anyone can suggest some styles as well that would work for my body type. Thank you.

Go somewhere with a large selection and find your size. I'm guessing you're a 36 long. What sizes have you tried? How old are you?
