You can append -là or more rarely -ci to a noun to emphasize the fact you are talking about it precisely, as opposite to other ones:
-
Ce costume n’est pas à sa taille. : This suit doesn’t fit him.
-
Ce costume-là n’est pas à sa taille. : That one (suit) doesn’t fit him (but other ones possibly do).
See also: Celui-ci / Celui-là / Ceci what’s the difference between them?
