Most suit types will be flattering on this body type! Everything from the classic two-button suit to the formal tuxedo you’ll look amazing! If you are a little self-conscious about how thin you are, try a double-breasted jacket. This style will add bulk to your body. Also, to make your shoulders look broader, add some padding. If you want to look a little shorter, try having a slight horizontal line pattern on the tuxedo.
Tall and Muscular/Big
The best jacket for a slimming effect is the one button jacket! To have a further the thinning impact wear a slimmer lapel. A classic fit, one that is not close to the body, is also better for making the groom look thinner! A jacket that is tight may look ill-fitting instead of stylish. For your trousers, you can choose to have a narrowing effect, making your legs look longer and leaner!
Short and thin

To help elongate your body, try to stay away from the double-breasted jacket and jackets with more material than necessary. These styles will shorten your torso. Some rental places will offer slight shoulder pads, adding length to your body. A vest with a narrow tie with flat front trousers will further this effect. Lastly, a thin vertical stripe pattern will help you look taller! All these factors work together to help you look taller and not get overwhelmed by the fabric!

To achieve a tall and slimming effect, use a shawl collar jacket with a narrow lapel. Try only to have one or two buttons, too. You should avoid the double-breasted coat, as this will add bulk and help you look shorter. For your trousers, try to stay away from styles that flair out. Instead, a narrowing effect will help your legs look slimmer and longer. The goal of these tips is to help you get the length without the added bulk of the fabric.
