FIT & SILHOUETTE / THE STYLE GUIDE
Proportion & Balance
A jacket and trouser are read together. Shoulder, lapel, waist, rise and opening can be adjusted as a relationship rather than prescribed by a body-type chart.

01 / THE UPPER LINE
Shoulder, Lapel and Button Stance
The shoulder line frames the torso. Lapel width changes the visual rhythm of the chest, while the button stance affects the apparent position of the waist.
Evaluate these choices together instead of treating any one as a universal rule.

Look at both options in the context of the full garment and the occasion.
02 / THE MIDPOINT
Jacket Length and Waist Shaping
Jacket length changes how much trouser remains visible. Waist shaping can suggest a closer or easier line, provided the garment still moves comfortably.
View the silhouette from front, side and back before settling on a direction.
