A good suit is the foundation of any man's wardrobe. But finding the perfect suit can be a challenge. There are so many choices, and it can be hard to know where to start.

Here are a few essential tips to find the perfect suit.

1) Know your body type and shape

Not all suits are created equal. Some are better suited for a specific body type than others. Knowing your body type will help you narrow your choices and find a suit that fits you well. Below is a simple guide to getting the perfect suit for the most common body types.

The slender six-footer

If you are tall and slim, pick the right jacket length to establish the right balance between your upper and lower body. Wider lapels help to create the illusion of a broader chest. Let the pants break cleanly over your shoes to stop the legs from looking like towering poles.

The pear-shaped body

If you have more weight around the hips and thighs, look for suits with slightly flared legs. Flared legs will balance out your proportions and make you look slimmer. Avoid choosing a roomier suit, and do not bring the focus to your waistline.

The short and stocky

When on the shorter side, opt for a two-button jacket. The suit creates the illusion of length and makes you look taller. Avoid anything with too much fabric or too many details. Pick mid-or high-rise pants to create a vertical illusion.

The athlete

Individuals with an athletic frame often have broad shoulders and a narrow waist. To achieve the perfect fit, look for suits with a natural shoulder line and soft construction. Choose bold colors and patterns to create contrast and make you look more proportionate.

2) Choose the suitable fabric

Affordable men’s suits are made from a variety of different fabrics. The fabric you choose should depend on the season and the occasion.

For example, a woolen suit is perfect for winter as it is warm and durable, while light and airy linen suits belong in summer. While choosing a fabric, consider the following factors,

• Breathability: If you sweat a lot, go for natural fibers like linen and cotton.
• Weight: Heavier fabrics like wool are ideal for winter, while lighter fabrics are perfect for summer.
• Crease resistance:  If you do not want your suit to look wrinkled, choose a fabric like wool that does not wrinkle easily.
• Softness: Cashmere and merino are softer woolen fabrics, and cotton also feels good on the skin.

3) Dress for the occasion

The occasion you wear your suit will dictate your style. A wedding is formal, so you would typically wear a more traditional, conservative suit. A job interview is another formal occasion where you want to make a good impression, so again, you would choose a conservative suit.

But if you are going to a more casual event, like a party or a night out, you can have more fun with your suit choice. You can experiment with different colors and patterns and try something more fashion-forward.
