Fitting Tips::
-
Experiment with sizes and cut
-sometimes going up or down a size can make all the difference in fit. One caveat: If you’re looking for more coverage, don’t go larger. Opt for a style that’s cut to cover more.
Think of the whole body
- don’t fixate on body parts and ignore how you look and feel head to toe. You want a suit with pleasing proportions.
Do the towel test
- when trying on, bend down as if you’re picking up your towel, sit, twist, lift your arms and move around to make sure everything stays in and nothing pulls or digs.

I love your fit advice - particularly the towel test - sooo true. I would also add check your rear view mirror. You want to look as good going as coming.
