Are the sleeves of men's suits supposed to be a little short? (1 Viewer)

[Scissors]

So, i went shopping today for a suit for my formal, and the only suits i found which fit me properly were short-sleeved. Is that how they're supposed to be? Is the shirt sleeve supposed to be longer than the jacket sleeve?

^^^that pic suggests not.

^^^ this pic suggests so.



so? what's the go?

depends on your colour schemes but generally i'd say yes, the shirt sleeves should be slightly longer.

As of late the whole capped sleeve has been in.

Shorter jacket sleeves imo.

as a general rule of thumb, the shirt sleeve should be around 1cm longer than the suit sleeve. The first pic you posted up was horrible. The suits ugly and its not tailored! The double breasted one looks good though.. but i more prefer single breast... more classic/modern

As long as the jacket arm goes in a little (like, in the 2nd pic) then yeah should look better with the shirt sleeves longer than the jacket.

Thanks for the luck! I'll need it. Yeah, I also thought the first suit was filthy.

well it's more fitted to the arm.. whereas the first pic is pretty much straight.

the are supposed to be longer than your shirt sleeve.

 

[whathe?]

My dad owns a suit shop, your shirt sleeve should be showing 1cm longer than the jacket.
