How should a suit jacket fit 2022?

“There should be room in the back for movement and a bit of room at the bicep area.” The jacket will probably be longer, too – level with your thumb’s second knuckle, rather than its first. The trousers should sit on your waist, not your hips, and fall either straight or with a very subtle taper into the ankle.

Are suit jackets supposed to be snug?

With the top button fastened (never the bottom button), the jacket should lightly hug your midsection, but not feel tight or constricting. The jacket shouldn’t be pulling at the button, creating an ugly “X”.

How do I know if my suit jacket is too big?

Ideally, you should see about half an inch of linen from your shirt exposed, separating your hands and the jacket sleeve. If the jacket sleeves go beyond this length and cover up all of your shirt linen, it’s probably too big.
