It really doesn’t do to put such an expansive title atop such a piffling post, but what can I say? I’m audacious if nothing else…
Suits are the bread and butter of men’s tailoring. For a brief period – a brief and loathsome period – suits were consigned to the ranks of professionals as youth culture eschewed smart dress in favour of trends. Well, fortunately for anyone who prefers wearing clothes that enhance your appearance to something a dirty fingernailed farmer would stuff full of potatoes, tailoring is back, and it appears more than a trend.
As with the modern art movement – a necessity for the shake-up of a world becoming stale and polluted with blinkered traditionalism – the trend era served its purpose. Tailoring had become uninspired and generally insipid; suits were thrown on without a thought given to form, colour or material and treated like the proverbial Jeans and T-shirt. The reinventing of men’s tailoring has given birth to a fluid, adaptable and dynamic corner of the fashion universe that has seen the suit re-imagined countless times, while remaining true to its roots.
Depending on your build/tastes, your requirements of a suit will vary, but there is now something for everybody; something that can hide or enhance your worst and best features, while projecting a flavour of your personality.
Please find, posted over the following few days, examples of some modern suits, which I will expand on at a later date.
So check back to find out what I would suggest for your body-type, and in the meantime I hope the images give you an idea of what’s out there and how to look awesome.
EMBRACE THE SUIT.
