Very slim, fitted suits are in style right now. As in, more body-conscious and form-fitting than the traditional tailored suit.

Interestingly, the guys I know who are most comfortable with hugging/snuggling and otherwise showing affection (ironic cutesy nicknames, saying love you... or luv ya, I guess, etc) are the broiest bros ever.
