Buying An Urban Suit

by Victor Santerino

Urban suits are a new phenomenon that is catching on quickly among consumers. These suits have a unique style that is drastically different from the classic contemporary styles you find in older models.

I wrote this article to give the average consumer as much information on the subject of urban suits as possible. It is my goal to enlighten the reader on the differences and similarities of urban and non urban wear. Following this I will tell you what brands are popular and where to get them.

This suit comes with the same parts as the traditional suit. As always you will find: lapels, buttons, shoulder padding, pockets, and even inner lining. These parts will almost always be present on all models but will be styled in a unique way of their own.

The fundamental difference in this suit is the aerodynamic design to the suit. Urban models have a unique cut that gives them a streamlined youthful aura that transcends traditional models.

The consumer on the prowl for a more urban looking suit should find a model with lean lapels, tight shoulders, and slit pockets. This consumer will want to match this type of jacket with a pair of pants that extend to the ankles without cuffs or pleats.

Major brands carrying these types of suits include: Sean John, Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis, and Steve Harvey. Stay away from vintage brands like Botany 500 or older designer models such as Pronto Uomo.

These suits are harder to find at the retail level because they are not carried in many rural and suburban areas. Look to find this type of suit in larger cities like New York or Philadelphia. Otherwise you should check out the many different online vendors for some great bargains.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Use this knowledge to make your next purchase more fruitful than all of your other suit purchases combined.
