The suit world is an expansive and confusing. There are dozens of fits, patterns, collars, fabrics, and hundreds of brands. When you dive into the world for the first time, it is quite easy to get overwhelmed by what you find. Everything from your body type to your lifestyle need to be considered before you throw money at your suit. Ideally, you want to go to a professional suit maker so they can evaluate you, measure you, interview you, and find out who you really are to help you in your decision making. But, in case you are the kind of guy who is used to the solo mission, we are here to help you figure out what types of men's suits are out there.
One note to keep in mind...there are way too many "types" of suits to nail down in one place. Unless you are ready to read a Lord of the Rings sized epic on the suit world. Therefore...we're sticking to the basics here. There are more categories, sub-categories, off-shoots, and rare/unique examples. But these are the most common things you will run into.
