AIBU to ask you to tell me if this fits?

DH has bought a new suit and we’re not sure if it fits! I felt that it looked a bit…baggy. But then I’m used to slim-fit suits so maybe this is just what they’re supposed to look like!

Thoughts below please :)

It fits.

Bluebells1 · 11/08/2021 19:54

Too loose.

BebesChamber · 11/08/2021 19:55

It looks a bit baggy on the arms and bottom of the legs. But not sure if that's me used to seeing very tight-fitted suits on men recently.

Looks very nice regardless OP.

WisestIsShe · 11/08/2021 19:55

I think it's nice. Super skinny suits are for teenagers.

LawnFever · 11/08/2021 19:56

I think it looks a bit too big

PrimeraVez · 11/08/2021 19:57

I would say it’s not as slim fitting as is the fashion these days but I wouldn’t look at him and think ‘your suit is too big/you look shit’

I don’t think sizing down would work as I think the cut of the suit is naturally meant to be like that.

Bargebill19 · 11/08/2021 19:59

That’s fine.
Slim fits either scream salesman who’s going to lie through his teeth to get the sale, or someone desperately clinging to youth.
They are also ‘hilarious’ to look at - especially if the person wearing them is tall and the viewer is short or sitting down. (🤢 not envy)

IamChipmunk · 11/08/2021 19:59

Jacket looks a bit big at the front I think but not terrible.
As someone has said it might just be cut like that rather than slim fit.

user1493494961 · 11/08/2021 20:00

It's looks OK to me.

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 11/08/2021 20:00

Is it a slim fit? If not you need a skinny fit

LtDansleg · 11/08/2021 20:00

I think it’s fine, it’s not a slim fit suit. My oh wears similar styles, he tends to buy a size up as he hates how even men’s clothes are skin tight nowadays.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 11/08/2021 20:01

Looks a good fit to me, but then I'm not keen on skinny fit suits.

NotAnotherPushyMum · 11/08/2021 20:02

It fits fine. It’s not meant to be skinny fit.

TootTootTootToot · 11/08/2021 20:02

I think it looks really nice and fits him really well. It's not a slim fit so it isn't tight. I really like it.

PieceOfString · 11/08/2021 20:03

I think it looks nice. Sits right in the shoulders. Figure hugging clothes aren't everyones thing for various reasons.

TurnipTales · 11/08/2021 20:03

I used to sell men's suits and pin them for alterations- this looks like a good fit across the shoulders and back on the jacket which is the most important bit. If he feels it's a bit baggy across the waist and trunk, any reputable tailor can pin and take in the side seams (we used to charge about £25 for this).

If he's not sure, I would recommend wearing it for a day or two and then deciding if it bothers him. The trousers look like a good, straight leg without being too slim.

TheSkatesOfCoachBombay · 11/08/2021 20:03

No it fits. It hangs from his shoulders at the right point, and you can see from the box pleat at the back it is falling correctly. Cuff is also falling correctly to his hand.

People have become used to a slim fit suit on a man, which this isn't.

Oblomov21 · 11/08/2021 20:04

It's fine. It's not a slim fit suit. I like it. There are a couple of places ie lower arms that it could be slightly better. But it's fine.

How much. It it's under a certain price I'd definitely keep it.

nocoolnamesleft · 11/08/2021 20:04

Looks fine to me. But then I think skinny fit suits look pretty awful.

Wrenna · 11/08/2021 20:04

Looks great!

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 11/08/2021 20:04

Yes it fits, but if he’s a car salesman/recruitment consultant it’s too baggy.

Roonilwazlib1 · 11/08/2021 20:04

I think it looks ok - the shoulders seem to end at the right point to me

imacuddler · 11/08/2021 20:05

I think it looks great

lljkk · 11/08/2021 20:05

Fine, not baggy.

SuperSketchy · 11/08/2021 20:05

I think it fits ok but is a little too long in the leg.
