The differences in size between men's and women's suits stem from variations in body shape, fit preferences, and traditional tailoring standards.

Men’s Suit: Designed for a straighter, more rectangular silhouette (broader shoulders, narrower hips). Suits emphasize shoulder structure with padded shoulders and a defined chest. Trousers are cut straighter with a higher waistband.
Women’s Suit: Tailored to accommodate curves (narrower shoulders, defined waist, wider hips). Suits may have darts or shaping to cinch at the waist. Trousers/skirts are often higher-waisted or tapered to fit hips.

Men’s Suit: Sized by chest measurement. Pants: Waist/inseam measurements.
Women’s Suit: Often labeled with numeric sizes (e.g., 6, 8, 10), Some brands use bust measurements. Pants/Skirts: Use waist/hip measurements or standard dress sizes.

Men’s suit typically button left over right. Women’s suit usually button right over left (historical tradition for hand-tying corsets).

Sleeve Length: Women’s sleeves may be shorter relative to torso length.
Suit Length: Women’s suit often have shorter suit to emphasize waist/hips.

Women’s suit offer more variety in cuts (cropped, peplum, wide-leg).
