Burton’s got it all, and we’re here to help you find your perfect style and fit…
How to find your style
We’re sure it’ll come as no surprise that suits aren’t one-size-fits-all – and we’re not just talking about small, medium & large. There are a few different silhouettes on offer, which can make finding the perfect choice for you that little bit more tricky. Learn more about which cut suits you best with our breakdown below…
Skinny Fit
While a slim fit suit skims the body while allowing flexibility and movement, a Skinny Fit completely hugs the body. Skinny Fit suits are often tight and clingy – and though they are not uncomfortable, they are definitely made to sit more snugly than a Slim Fit. Skinny Fits are great for delivering a sleek, elongated silhouette; they have a sharp finish to them that always appears smart and suave.
Slim Fit
For those who like a form-fitting silhouette that won’t compromise on comfort, a Slim Fit is likely the one for you. Slim Fit suits follow the natural contours of the body, without restricting movement or feeling too tight during wear. There’s room to move around while ensuring a modern, comfortable look that you’ll wear time and time again. We’d recommend this one for slimmer to medium builds.
Tailored Fit
A Tailored Fit suit sits somewhere between a Regular Fit and a Slim Fit. It offers a nice bridge between the two: it has all the comfort of a regular fit, but has the style & sleekness of a slim fit. It’s tailored to your body, meaning it’s cut for a sharper, more structured silhouette that creates a classic and timeless look – so you’ll never look back at photos and wonder what you were wearing!
