Suit Designs Defined

By Clement Sancharo

Diversity in suits comes in the form of different styles, materials, colors, shapes, and designs. This diversity makes the suit a perfect garment for people of all ages, religions, races, and even sexual orientations.

This article does not cover all the different aspects of suits, but it will give you a better idea of what each general design looks like. After reading this article you will know how to identify all five designs used in today's suits.

The first and most popular suit design is not really a design at all. This type of suit is the plain solid color suit and is great for all types of events. Wear this suit if you intend to add style to your wardrobe through accessories.

Striped suits tend to be second in the high demand designs of the suit market. These suits have vertical lines running down them in various thicknesses. Slip on this suit to illustrate your power and authority.

Windowpane designs are more stylish than the previous two styles mentioned. These suits are created by running lined both vertically and horizontally on the suit to create the appearance of boxes or windowpane designs on the suit. This design is great for social events requiring a suit.

The herringbone design is created by running v shaped patterns in line with each other on the trouser and jacket. This is mostly found in winter suits as it is only ever created using thick wool materials. Wear this in the winter to any event you see fit.

Check patterns are similar to windowpane suits in that they use both vertical and horizontal lines to make patterns. However, these suits do not leave the windowpanes open and close them in with lines or circles. Wear this to less formal settings to show off a sense of style.
