men suits

The ideal fabric choice depends on the season. For summer, we recommend linen or cotton suits, which offer lightness and breathability. Linen, a RAG Tailors specialty, is perfect for casual outdoor occasions. For winter, wool is the premium option, providing thermal insulation and elegance. In the mid-seasons, wool blends with cashmere or silk are excellent. Suits made from technical fabrics are on the rise, offering durability and comfort for everyday wear. Always consider the weight of the fabric: 230-280g for summer, 280-320g for mid-season and over 320g for winter.

The difference between formal and casual suits is in the details. Formal suits, ideal for weddings and gala events, are characterized by fine fabrics such as worsted wool, sober colors (black, navy blue, dark gray) and impeccable finishes. Casual suits, perfect for daytime or less formal events, allow for greater freedom in colors (light blue, beige, green), lighter fabrics such as linen or cotton, and more relaxed cuts. At RAG Tailors, we offer slim-fit suits that adapt to both contexts – just alternate between a tie and handkerchief for formality, or a t-shirt and sneakers for a relaxed look.

The slim fit cut, which is very popular nowadays, offers a more fitted silhouette, with narrower shoulders, a defined waist and more fitted trousers, creating a contemporary and elegant look. The regular fit is the traditional cut, with more room in all areas, providing comfort and freedom of movement, ideal for those who prefer a classic fit. The tailored fit is somewhere in between the two, offering a moderate fit that enhances the silhouette without being too tight. At RAG Tailors, our slim fit suits are designed for modern men who seek elegance without sacrificing comfort.

To keep your suits looking as good as new, we recommend a few essential practices. Never store a suit without airing it out for 24 hours after use, to allow the fibers to recover. Always use suitable wooden or wide-shouldered hangers to preserve the structure of the jacket. Brush it gently after each use to remove dust and surface dirt. Avoid frequent washing; opt for dry cleaning only when necessary, about 1-2 times a year. RAG Tailors suits are designed with premium materials that require specific care – rotating between suits regularly and using anti-moth protectors in closets are practices that ensure greater longevity.

Suit trends for 2025 are showing significant evolution. Ultra-slim cuts are giving way to more relaxed, yet structured silhouettes. We see the return of understated patterns such as Prince of Wales and micro-patterns. In terms of colours, deep blues and emerald greens are prominent, as are earthy tones. Sustainability is a strong trend, with recycled or low-impact fabrics. Versatility is the order of the day – suits that can be deconstructed and worn as separates. At RAG Tailors, our new collection already incorporates these trends, with an emphasis on flexible suits that transition from formal to casual with ease.

For summer weddings, choosing the right suit should balance elegance with thermal comfort. Opt for lightweight fabrics such as linen, cotton or silk blends, which allow air to circulate. Light colours such as sky blue, beige or light grey are excellent options, reflecting the heat and harmonising with the season. The slim fit cut from RAG Tailors offers a sleek silhouette without compromising mobility. For more formal weddings, a suit in super 120 cool wool or higher maintains elegance with ease. Complete with carefully selected accessories – lightweight silk ties, linen pocket squares and colour-coordinated shoes for a sophisticated and fresh look.

The distinction between a tuxedo and a formal suit lies mainly in the occasions and details. The tuxedo, considered a formal suit, is characterized by satin or grosgrain lapels, a sash at the waist, a side stripe on the trousers and buttons covered in the same material as the lapels. It is exclusively for extremely formal evening events. The traditional formal suit is more versatile, suitable for a variety of occasions, from business meetings to daytime celebrations, with lapels in the same fabric as the suit and a greater variety of colors and patterns. At RAG Tailors, we offer impeccably cut tuxedos for special events and elegant formal suits for everyday professional wear, all with the option of personalization through embroidery or monograms.
