Slim-Fit Suits in Singapore: Asian Fit, Sizes 48 to 60

What slim fit means

Slim fit follows the body more closely than regular fit: narrower through the chest and waist, a slimmer sleeve and a tapered trouser leg. It looks sharp on slimmer and athletic builds, and with the right size it works for many other builds as well.

How to check a slim fit

The jacket should close without pulling, you should be able to raise your arms and sit comfortably, and the trousers should not bind at the thigh. If it feels tight, try the next size up.

Slim fit explained in detail

A slim-fit suit is cut closer to the body than a regular-fit suit. The chest and waist are narrower, the sleeves are slimmer, the armholes sit higher and the trousers taper toward the ankle. The result is a sharper, more modern silhouette. The trade-off is less room, which is why correct sizing matters.

Who slim fit suits best

Slimmer and athletic builds suit slim fit most naturally. Men with broader chests or shoulders can often wear slim fit by sizing up. If a slim fit feels tight, try the next size, or try another brand, since each cuts slightly differently.

A slim-fit checklist

When you try one on, check these.

• -The jacket closes without an X-shaped pull.
• -You can raise both arms without the jacket riding up.
• -The sleeves end near the wrist bone.
• -The trousers do not bind at the thigh when you sit.
• -The shoulders sit at the edge of your shoulder.

Asian fit and slim fit

Our suits use Asian sizing from 48 to 60 and an Asian fit. This is typically slimmer and shorter than Western sizing, which is why your usual size may differ. Our size guide and the fit request tool help you prepare.
