Josh doesn’t always have to wear a suit to work—he’s usually in period costume at the Met, the guy swinging swords and lifting damsels. But he told us that when he did dress up, things would go awry. “I’d shop at a big-and-tall store, and it would feel like I was wearing a giant bag. So my usual approach was to forgo the jacket and wear a nice shirt and tie—and maybe a vest.” New rule, guys: You should wear a jacket, even—no, especially—if you’re a little burly. If it fits right, it can give your body a whole new shape and revolutionize your confidence.

1. When a suit jacket fits right, it turns all your soft, round lines into sharp, angular ones.

2. Get a jacket that hugs your shoulders, then have a tailor pinch it in at the middle of your torso. That’s what turns your round midsection into a powerful-looking V.

3. Just because you need a broad jacket doesn’t mean you need a long one. It should just barely cover your butt.
