The GQ Guide to Suits

BY THE GQ EDITORS

Our definitive advice on how to master the suits you already own—and every new one you’ll ever buy

Every man should own a great suit. Zero exceptions. Just listen to Jon Hamm, whose role in Mad Men pretty much single-handedly made suiting glamorous again. “You button up into one of those suits,” he told us once, “and it’s like, ‘Okay, there’s a certain way that I feel. I feel confident. I feel put together. I feel great-looking.“ And while a great suit will make you feel (and look) sharp, world-wise, and sophisticated, a bad one will make you look like a hack or some man-child who still gets dressed by his mommy. So it helps to know a thing or two about buying, wearing, and caring for the one you choose.

Every guy—even Ralph Lauren himself—started as a suit virgin, and we know that your first time standing in the suiting section can be overwhelming. Our suit guide is here to help you find a great suit, at whatever price you choose to pay, that’ll make you look smart, handsome, and like you’ve got the world by the nuts.

GQ COVERS: The 2010s

The GQ covers of the Obama Era captured wider trends in the culture. The cast of men and women profiled by the magazine grew more diverse, and they often reflected the ways in which pop culture, music, fashion and sports intersected and overlapped, as with Pharrell, Shia, LeBron, Drake, and Kanye. Style-wise, tie bars and pocket squares made a comeback. A quintessential cover from the Teens might feature a man named Ryan (Reynolds and/or Gosling) or Justin (Theroux and/or Timberlake) in a slim-cut suit, looking effortlessly and unselfconsciously handsome.
