A well-tailored suit can make all the difference when it comes to looking and feeling your best. But not all body types are created equal, and finding a suit that fits perfectly can be a challenge. At Cameron Stephens, we understand that every body is unique, and we specialise in tailoring suits for different postures. Here's how we tailor suits to flatter different body types:


1. The Athletic Build


For men with an athletic build, we focus on creating a suit that flatters their broad shoulders and narrow waist. We will add extra padding to the shoulders of the suit to balance out the body shape and create a more streamlined look. We will also take care to ensure that the jacket fits snugly around the waist, accentuating the V-shape of the body.


2. The Rounder Build


For men with a rounder build, we will focus on creating a suit that elongates the body and creates a more slender look. We will choose fabrics that are lightweight and fit nicely over the body, and we will avoid boxy cuts that can make the body look shapeless. We will also take care to ensure that the jacket is long enough to create a vertical line that visually lengthens the body.


3. The Taller Build


For men with a taller build, we will focus on creating a suit that complements their height and creates a proportional look. We will add more pockets and details to the suit to break up the vertical line of the body and create a more balanced look. We will also take care to ensure that the trousers are the right length, and that the jacket is long enough to create a proportional look.


4. The Shorter Build


For men with a shorter build, we will focus on creating a suit that creates a longer, leaner look. We will choose fabrics that are lightweight and drape nicely over the body, and we will avoid boxy cuts that can make the body look wider. We will also take care to ensure that the jacket is short enough to create a longer line for the body, and that the trousers are the right length to create a proportional look.


5. The Posture


In addition to body type, we also take posture into account when tailoring a suit. For men with a hunched or rounded posture, we will focus on creating a suit that encourages a straighter, more upright posture. We will add extra padding to the shoulder area of the jacket, which helps to open up the chest and promote a more upright posture. We will also make adjustments to the back of the jacket to ensure that it fits properly and encourages good posture.


In conclusion, at Cameron Stephens, we understand that every body is unique, and we specialise in tailoring suits for different postures. We take a personalised approach to each client, and we will work with you to create a suit that fits your body type and posture perfectly.
