American vs English vs Italian Suits | Which Suit Style Wins? | Menswear Around The World

As a physician, prefer American style,

Ravi Peiris M.D.

British

Italy and england are the same

English always 👍🏼👍🏼

English hands down, has a bold presence. Italian a close second and I wouldn't call the America suit anything more than a rag...

For me, Italian styled suits are classy. American style is too conservative and boring. English style is too snobbish. Thats just me.

Peaky blinder suits 😍😍

English is my fave

I like Italian 🇮🇹 style. 😍

So if you are short and swarthy...Italian
Tall and slender...English
Fat...American

Owmygosh, Antoniooooo...

Are you sure they aren't all Jewish?

English Suit is my best choise

I like italian

English and Italian is best I know but I like the American style because it's simple looking with color black and red necktie.

American suits are as bad as their cars

I'm a big fan of an English suit. Just looks sharpest to me. I'm a big fan of the structured shoulders and the slim, but not tight fit. I think smaller or skinnier guys can pull off the Italian well and I think American suits ar alright, but HAVE to be tailored. The Brooks made their suits less shaped due to ease of production and the ability to fit a wider range of men, but I always figured they intended for men to get the suits altered after the purchase, but overtime that didn't stick.

American suit is my favorite!

Italian

English for formality; Italian for comfort.

American if you can’t afford the first and can’t fit into the second.

I prefer Italian, however if I can get away with it, as an American of scottish descent, I prefer a kilt with argyle vest and jacket.

I look weird in American suits but my father looks amazing in an American one.
My brother had flat tummy, well built chest and shoulders. He totally rocked the Italian ones. I prefer English suits.

Literally killed it. I’m a mechanic and I’m 5’9” and literally 220 with most of my fat in my midsection and I’m a very broad chested build. Nailed it right on the head, American sack suit looks and fits better than my more “tailored style” suits as they hug my chest tightly. What a coincidence but proof that this is very solid and beneficial knowledge 👍

What about the lining ?
Tactical.

I always go for English ! Suits n English men are always formal.. Love from Chennai 🇮🇳..

It depends on your body and what your going for. The Italian suits tend to be unstructured which is great for guys really in shape but not so good for someone who needs the padding to build up the shoulders and chest area.

As doctor myself i like the English style.

British for skinny guys, Italian for short, American for athlete build. Fat guy can wear all of them and look the same.
I'm short with 10inch drop, Italian and American are good for me......
British shows shoulder divots (armhole too high, sleeve too tight), if not, it looks hilarious with super large jacket and supper slim pant.

THANKSSS

This is a simplification of both the British and Italian styles. Italian suits range from structured to unstructured depending upon the region of Italy that they are made in. More unstructured in the south and progressively more structured as you move north. There is at least two takes on the English suit. First, firms like Anderson & Shepherd, Redmane and Stephen Hitchcock cut suits in a soft, drape cut, which is the antithesis of a typical “structured” suit. (Both Redmane and Hitchcock have significant connections to Anderson and Shepherd)

There’s also a group of tailors who were influenced by Tommy Nutter in the 1970s and early 1980s. Far more flair in design and there are echoes of Italian and French influences. Finally, you have what you consider the typical English suit with a highly structured, military style appearance.

I’d also note that there is a French school of tailoring that falls somewhere between Italian and English in construction and appearance. Ciffonelli (Sp?) is the iconic example.

I am 6' 3" and 170 lbs, I like Italian

British all day. Italian is nice, but it’s too slick. Almost like a salesman. The American is like McDonald’s or American cheese. Garbage. British all day because it’s classic. The Italian is slick, but maybe too suave.

I’m sorry to say this as an American but the English is the best !

I like the neapolitan style with the spallaca camicia shoulder

British for business, Italian for casual

Definitely not the American sack. Haha.

english - the goat

I prefer the classic english drape cut.

The english suit is the best for me. I have one with Full trousers cut and It is perfect, wide knocht lapels, amazing

Its scennnnteeeo

English, hands down.

I am a client of Henry Poole & Co from the UK and I am the son of a USMC Drill Instructor, so personally I don't give a shit what you think because you're not better than me!

I’m too large to be in the Italian style. British and American work for me!

You did not mention double breasted suits. What were the styles of the Golden Age of Hollywood? Not all of thouse suits were double breasted.
