DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A Ladies AND A Gents SUIT Part-1

 


Any formal gathering, corporate meeting or even a wedding is incomplete without a well-tailored suit. While men have been donning these garments for decades, women’s suits are a relatively younger concept. Once the paradigm shift of women making their way to the corporate world started, the designers gladly came up with a formal appearance for them too.

If you are out shopping for a suit, have you ever wondered what the key differences between a man’s and a woman’s suit are?

Read on to find out the key differences between men’s and women’s suits.

The parts used are quite similar, with elements like collars, lapels, gorges, pockets, vents, pleats and cuffs seen in both men’s and women’s suits. But since the anatomy of the genders is entirely different, the shape and the design vary to fit them perfectly. While men’s jackets are more straight cut, Women’s suits often have darts, tucks, or other shaping elements to accentuate the waist and create a more tailored look. Women’s suit jackets also tend to have narrower lapels and are generally shorter than men’s suit jackets, often ending at the hip or waist rather than covering the buttocks.
