However, my understanding of "fit" for many years has been "I can button it and it isn't too short in the arms" with little thought as to whether it is flattering or a dated style. But I also don't think of them as being particularly exciting, which probably means they should go but I don't want to be too hasty if they are acceptable.</p> <p>Are there some guidelines about what to look for, including stance, lapel size and shape, whether the bottom is square or rounded, etc?</p> <p>I'll try and post some pics later, when I've got my closet project finished. </p>
