Basic Shapes of a Suit
Single-breasted prom suits have one button row on the front with two to four buttons. They are the most common style for dress suits. They usually have a regular lapel collar (notch reverse collar).
Double-breasted prom suits have two button row on the front with two to three buttons on each row. They are the most elegant style for dress suits and usually have a peak lapel collar.

General Fitting Advice
- The most important element of a dress suit is the fitting.
- A prom suit with good fitting and a not-so-high quality fabric should be preferred to a suit with bad fitting and a high quality fabric.
- A suit with a good cutting shape should be natural: it should accent a man's figure and correct real problem zones in a decent way.
- A man with a small frame should wear a suit with a slender cutting shape, minor or no shoulder pads, a narrow lapel and a trouser cut close to the leg.
- A man with broad shoulders and an atlethic frame should also wear a suit without shoulder pads.
- A man with a burly frame should renounce on any extension or broadening by the cutting shape of the dress suit.
