Suit Pockets

Have you ever thought about the pockets on your men suits?  The style and shape of pockets is likely rarely thought about (if at all) when men purchase suits.  We here at The Sharp Suit though have done all the thinking about suit pockets for you!  This brief article will introduce you to the main types of suit pockets and offer some style tips as to which ones work best with certain suit styles.
Suits typically have three sets of pockets: the inside pockets, the breast pocket, and the side pockets.

 The inside pocket is set into the lining of the jacket and is usually found on the wearer’s left side.  The breast pocket is frequently used by men who want to add a dash of color to their outfit by using a pocket square.  The side pockets, as the name suggests, are sewn into the side of the custom suit jacket around the wearer’s hips.  The inside pocket should be used to carry belongings like a wallet or cell phone, never the breast or side pockets.  If anything of significant weight is carried in those pockets it can over time cause the shape of the jacket to change, and it can eventually be weighed down and stretched out if this goes on for too long.  Plus, items in the breast pocket (other than pocket squares) and side pockets can make a suit appear bulky, which ruins the narrow silhouette most men prefer when wearing a suit.
