Why Purple?

A purple suit is one of the easiest ways to stand out at prom, homecoming, a party or a performance. It also works for weddings with a purple, lavender or gold color scheme.

The Cut: Modern Slim Fit

The jacket has a tapered waist, a two-button, single-breasted front, a notch lapel and double rear vents. It is fully lined with outer and inner pockets. The matching pants are slim fit with a flat front, a mid-rise waist and a zipper fly. They are lined to the knee and come full length, ready for your tailor to hem.

Sizing Made Simple: Drop 6

This suit is a drop 6: the pants waist is 6 inches smaller than the jacket size. Every size lists both numbers, like 40R/34W (40 Regular jacket, 34 waist pants).

Sizes run 34R to 56R in Regular, 34S to 46S in Short and 38L to 54L in Long. Short fits men about 5'4" to 5'7", Regular about 5'8" to 6'0", and Long about 6'1" and taller. Pick your jacket size by measuring around the fullest part of your chest.

How to Style a Purple Suit

For Prom or Homecoming

A black shirt with a black or silver tie makes a sharp, modern look. Or go classic with a white shirt and a black bow tie. Black shoes either way.

For a Wedding

A white shirt with a silver, lavender or gold tie. Black or dark brown shoes.

For a Party or Performance

Wear the jacket over a black turtleneck or tee with black boots.
