it's all in the fit
Finding the right suit shouldn't feel like hard work. The truth is, you don't need a custom tailor to look sharp - you just need the right cut for your build. Whether you're gearing up for wedding season, heading to the races, or updating your 9-to-5 rotation, getting the fit right is the difference between feeling okay and feeling confident.
We’ve broken down our three signature fits so you can take the guesswork out of buying a suit and find exactly what works for you.
classic fit
relaxed & easy to wear
More room through the chest and shoulders so you can actually move. It falls straight from the knee down to a 17" leg opening, giving you a comfortable, traditional fit that sits perfectly over boots or classic dress shoes.
Best for guys with broader shoulders and athletic builds, or anyone who just prefers a bit more room to breathe.
slim fit
the modern go-to
The sweet spot between relaxed and skinny. It’s tailored to sit closer to the body with a clean taper through the waist and thighs. The 16" leg opening delivers a sharp, modern finish that looks great without feeling restrictive.
Best for the everyday guy looking for a versatile, reliable suit that works just as well for weddings and the races as it does for the 9-to-5.

Get answers about fit, fabric, care, and everything else you need to know.
What is the difference between slim fit and skinny fit suits? +
Slim fit suits offer a modern, tailored look with a close fit through the chest, waist and legs without feeling too tight. Skinny fit suits are cut much narrower for a sharper, fashion-forward silhouette that fits close to the body throughout. If you want a balance of comfort and style, slim fit is the go-to choice.
How tight should a suit be? +
A suit should feel tailored, not restrictive. The jacket should sit neatly on the shoulders and button comfortably without pulling, while the pants should taper cleanly without feeling too tight. You should be able to move comfortably while still keeping a sharp, streamlined look.
Can a suit be tailored if it doesn’t fit perfectly? +
Yes, tailoring can help achieve a more personalised fit. Simple adjustments like hemming pants, taking in the waist or shortening sleeves can make a big difference. Connor suits are designed with modern fits that can easily be tailored for a sharper finish.
What is the most versatile suit fit? +
Slim fit is the most versatile suit fit. It delivers a clean, modern silhouette that works for everything from weddings and formal events to the office and race days. Easy to dress up or down, it’s a reliable option for any occasion.
what customers say
real people, real suits, real results.
Black Diamond Slim Stretch Dress Pant
"Bought these for my partner. They look and feel very high quality, he says they’re comfortable because of the stretch in the fabric and the slim cut is the perfect fit for him. I bought a size 30 for him which is perfect for a size medium with narrow hips :) The color has not faded a bit so far and the overall quality of the stitching & construction is second to none. We will be back for more pairs! Amazing pants, absolute must buy for anyone building their business wardrobe."
Black Diamond Slim Shawl Collar Tuxedo
"I recently purchased the Diamond Slim Shawl Collar from Connor, and I couldn't be more pleased! The shawl collar design is sleek and stylish, adding a modern touch to any outfit. The quality of the fabric is top-notch—lightweight yet durable, making it perfect for both formal and casual occasions. What truly stood out was the excellent customer service. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding me through sizing options and ensuring I got exactly what I needed. Shipping was fast, and the packaging was immaculate. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
Elm Classic Textured Stretch Dress Pant
"Needed a refreshed suit for a wedding (that same day, its what us guys do, last minute shopping). Viewed online by my wife who recommended I head in-store to see what the fabric is like (difficult to exactly see on a device). Impressed, so impressed, ended up getting 2 shirts for $100, belt and I was in luck, $199 suit deal came with shoes of choice."
