This chapter represents the very essence of the course, the core to understanding what truly makes a garment impeccable. Learning the secrets of the aesthetic part of elegance means knowing how to evaluate the fit of a suit, whether tailored or off-the-rack, and this is a rare and precious art. It is through the perfect balance between the technical components of a suit or outerwear that, once worn, one can enhance appearance, elongate the silhouette, guarantee comfort, and feel confident and at ease.

In the world of classic menswear, there are specific and technical details that, if ignored, prevent you from choosing the right suit for your body type or from effectively guiding a tailor in creating a bespoke garment. In this chapter, you will discover these secrets and master the fundamental principles of elegance, allowing you to make informed choices and become a refined expert in selecting and managing your wardrobe.

Not just theory: Through practical and concrete examples, we will show you what works and what doesn’t, allowing you to fully understand the differences between a suit that flatters your figure and one that, on the contrary, detracts from it.

The fundamental parts of a suit: We will explore in detail the armhole, the shoulders, the collar, the chest pieces, the drape, and the correct proportions, which together form the supporting structure of a tailored garment. Understanding how these parts must interact with each other is essential to achieving the perfect fit.

Softness and fit of trousers: Not all trousers are the same. We will study how the softness and structure of trousers affect comfort and aesthetics, learning to recognize which details can make the difference between a pair of trousers that fits like a glove and one that does not flatter your figure.

How to try on a suit, standing and seated: Trying on a suit is not limited to wearing it for a few minutes in front of a mirror. We will teach you how to evaluate the fit of a garment both standing and seated, because a suit must not only look perfect but also perform well in all situations of daily life.
