The best suit brands are experts in their field, and when you slip on one of their creations, you should feel transformed. You might stand a little taller, your back a little straighter, your chest a little broader, like you’re literally bursting with swagger. (Go ahead, give yourself a flirty little Austin Butler-esque look in the mirror.)
Here's the thing: A suit is always going to look best if it’s made especially for you, and there are plenty of bespoke tailoring houses, everywhere from Savile Row to Milan, which will do just that. (Anderson & Sheppard, Henry Poole & Co., Rubinacci, and Liverano & Liverano, to name a few.) But those brands are unavailable off-the-rack and have little online presence, and bespoke suits are also increasingly expensive, and require you to stay the exact same weight to make the cost worth it. Not to mention that they can take forever to deliver.
Thankfully, there are plenty of great off-the-rack options, too. So get that Austin Butler face ready, bud, because the names you need to know the next time you're suit shopping are all right here.
