Which suit fits a muscular build better?

The Perry Ellis. Its modern fit has an athletic cut through the shoulders and chest with higher armholes, which buyers say works for trim but muscular builds. The Kenneth Cole is slimmer through the chest and shoulders.

Which is better for a wedding?

Both work for formal events. The Kenneth Cole's slim cut and green color read more contemporary, while the Perry Ellis in blue or black is the safer classic choice.

Is the Kenneth Cole worth the higher price?

At $79.99 at Macy's as of November 6, 2026, it costs more than the Perry Ellis low of $53.45 but rates higher (4.3 vs 3.9) and has stretch fabric. If the Perry Ellis is near $53, it is the better bargain.

Neither is a long-term suit; both use synthetic blends. The Kenneth Cole's stretch fabric and higher buyer rating suggest better day-to-day comfort, but expect alterations on either.

Do the pants come in the right size?

Both use a 7-inch drop, so a 40R jacket comes with a 33W pant. Perry Ellis buyers more often complain the pants size did not match expectations, so check the drop before ordering.
