Henry Cavill Found the Perfect Suit for Muscular Physiques

Jacked dudes who go hard in the gym know that suits can be hard work. But Henry Cavill—with his Herculean shoulders and titan biceps—has proven time and time again that he can make a suit work on a Superman-sized frame. And now, he might’ve found his finest Big Guy Suit™ yet.

At Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Argylle star rolled up in a navy suit. But this wasn’t just any ol’ navy suit. For one thing, it’s single-breasted, which is the go-to style for all the swole guys out there. Why? Because double-breasted jackets draw the eye across, and can give off a shorter and wider look. Which, understandably, is the last thing you want if you’re the sort of guy who counts macros.

Cavill’s also went for a jacket with minimal padding to show off how broad his shoulders are (too much and you start to look a bit mob villain). And even though he’s left it unbuttoned, it’s still slightly cinched around the waist area to the hallowed upside down triangle physique. What’s more, the entire two-piece is actually detailed with very subtle pinstripes, which can make you look even taller.

Cavill then layered this on top of a khaki shirt (with the top two buttons undone, of course), and he jumped into his fave pair of Chelsea boots. It’s a style that he’s worn many, many times across many, many press tours over the years, and with the pre-aged charm and that slight heel, it’s something that’ll work for everyone.

Wearing a suit can be tough when you’re ripped. But that shouldn’t stop you from doing it. So look to Henry Cavill for a tailoring hack, and give that hard won rig the tailoring it deserves (oh, and get some advice on deadlifting while you’re at it).
