Fitted Slim Suits - The New Old Style

Posted by Aaron Sarfati on Jul 19, 2023

Fitted slim suits will be found on those trendy minded young men who favor the sleek looking style. What goes around comes around. What's old is new. In the world of mens suit fashion, it's a known fact that what comes around goes around. You can always expect a mens suit fashion trend to come back after 30 years. It could be some sort of inspiration that causes this to happen like watching an old movie that gives the mens suit fashion designer the “Idea” for this new style to come about. One of these new mens suit styles that has popped back onto the fashion radar are Fitted Slim Suits. Slim cut suits are a culmination of what happens when you take a basic 2 Button suit and tailor it so it fits like a glove to the wearers body.


Fitted Slim Suits are suits that were popular in a huge way during the early to mid 1960s and then went out of style once the Vietnam era and the hippie revolution took hold. These trimmer looking suits are easily recognizable by the slim fitting tailored jacket combined with narrower lapels and side vents on the back the jacket and slightly shorter length. Suits of this nature are not for the out of shape man because there is no extra material to hide any body flaws. If you have love handles, they will be there for all to see.

Fitted slim style suits like most suit fashion first jumped on the fashion circuit scene from the Runways of Milan Italy and quickly made it's way to suit manufacturers in Asia to produce a quality style mens suit that anyone could afford.

President Barack Obama may have been the unwitting actual catalyst for Fitted Slim style Suits because of his tall slim stature, he simply looks fantastic in a suit. Sure, he doesn't wear Slim Suits because those are strictly fashion but his 2 button business suits are tailored like any other President would have. It's just that he is the right height and size to make his suits look good on him.

Slim fitted Suits can be seen in the various types of fabrics that were popular in the early sixties such as Shiny Sharkskin which is a slightly shiny fabric that mimics a shark. You can find them in of course, black in both solid and shadow stripe fabrics that look great for going out as well. If you have the proper physique, and by proper I mean skinny. I highly recommend checking out slimmer fitting style suits.
