Explanation:
The other shape worth noticing right now is the slim suit. The angle here is not the supersartorial hour glass but a clean linear silhouette with a high armhole, narrow lapels and lean (predominantl flat front) trousers. Like its looser counterpart, the sack, the slim suit generally appears as a three-button deal.
