Buying An Urban Suit

By Victor Santerino


The urban suit is catching on all over the country. This suit has a style that defies classic suit styling and adds yet another choice for suit buying consumers. Choices are great for the public, but I feel it is my duty to explain this style in more detail to help people make a suitable choice.

Reading this article will give you all the knowledge you need to decide whether an urban suit is right for you. You will learn the similarities and differences between these suits and more traditional suits. After this I will give you some example designers, and tell you where to find them.

Urban suits almost always come with the same basic mechanics of a formal suit. This suit will have buttons, lapels, pockets, and even shoulder padding. However, what defines the urban suit is how these parts are styled and laid out.

Differences to be explored are the characteristics used for each part of the suit. These suits are always more streamlined. Look for aggressive angles, softer shoulder pads, and an overall less bulky appearance.

Buyers looking for a well defined urban suit need to look for smaller lapels, slit pockets and shoulders that fit tighter to the skin. These models should have matching pants with a flat front face and a cuff less bottom.

Brands to consider are Perry Ellis, Steve Harvey, Tommy Hilfger, Michael Kors, and Sean John. These designers have a wide variety of youthful urban styles. Steer clear of more traditional designers like Botany 500 or Pronto Uomo.

These suits are harder to find at the retail level because they are not carried in many rural and suburban areas. Look to find this type of suit in larger cities like New York or Philadelphia. Otherwise you should check out the many different online vendors for some great bargains.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Use this knowledge to make your next purchase more fruitful than all of your other suit purchases combined.
