Buying a new suit? Here's why you should opt for wool

Men's style has evolved over the last decade. It is now experimenting with new styles and trends in almost every item that men purchase.

Men today care about the importance of craftsmanship and construction that goes in the making of a suit. The best suited look a man can achieve comes from a harmony of three elements - Fabric, Construction and Fit.

Choosing the right fabric and construct can make all the difference to your suit.


Picking a cloth with a slight shine or a texture or even a subtle self-pattern gives the suit more character.

A few of the key things which must be kept in mind while looking for a perfect suit are:

- The most crucial thing to get right with any suit lies in the cut. One should opt for a simple well-cut, close to the body, slim but not tight option. Choosing lapel shape and size is more critical than ever.

- Consider a cloth with character. Look for something with some silk in the weave, lean towards something that gives off the slightest shine or perhaps choose a texture or even a subtle self-pattern to give a suit more character.


Solid colours are also a great option if you want to stand out.

- Choose wool. It's a versatile and lightweight finer that lends inherent warmth to ultra-fine wool fabric and whose ability to filter cold and heat ensure both, unrestrained freedom and superior breathability. Also, a plus point is its environment-friendly, biodegradable and renewable.

- Comfort should also be one of the priority while selecting a suit. It is also essential to get the correct fit that compliments your body shape.


When in doubt opt for classic shades like blue, white, and black.

- While buying a suit, take the lapel of the jacket between your fingers and rub the fabric on the lapels to see that it is soft, malleable to know that it's not fused. If you can feel the layers of the fabric rustle, then you are holding a canvas-constructed garment.
