Skinny fit are best suited for, as the name suggests, slim men. You don't need to be extremely thin to pull off a skinny fit, but don't expect to be overly active as the suit will be restrictive.
Slim Fit

The slim fit is still great at accentuating a slimmer build but does leave a bit more to the imagination. If a skinny fit is a bit tight for you or your place of work has a lot of stairs, a slim fit is likely the best option for you.
