The world of fashion turns a blind eye to the economic slump and reducing turnover and prepares to go in for latest designs and styles, the moment New York’s Fashion Weeks churns out trendiest wears for Fall 2009. Fashion, not known to enjoy permanence, the shopkeeper who is aware of changing trends and preferences, has the onerous job of distinguishing the latest and the sophisticated from the ludicrous choices that vanish from the market faster than they come.
In the male-dominated society, men have easy ride when compared to the other sex and this holds good in the designer world too. Though they are also victims of newer styles, however, when the question of stability to their collection arises, men take the cake.
It must be noted here that a customary look at the men on the ramp reveals that the fundamental principle while making a suit is not paid attention to. Designers play havoc with all parts of the suit like lapel, buttons, cuffs and sleeves which makes the ramp walkers appear out of place. This aspect is to be looked at kindly as the designers have to fall in line with the demands of changing cults and satiate men who prefer changes.
However, a man who has a refined liking, will not even look at them. barring a small change here or there, sauve one’s apparels have not changed at all. There are variety of men’s suits, but all fall within a certain ambit of operations and do not vary tangentially. Elegant men’s suits may differ only in the area of number of buttons, side, vents, lapels, notch etc. and the texture and shade of the material and intricacies of the contours.
But if a man has conservative taste, they will shun the dramatic changes and embrace change only very slowly. Men’s suits do come in all sorts and types, but the good ones have timeless style that keep a consistent theme and use extra buttons, peak lapels and vents, but the fineness of the fabric and the detail in the cut is where the quality is determined, not in the accessory elements.
Men have the legendary Beau Brummel to thank for, where their suits are concerned. He was the courtier in the early 1800s. He disregarded the old fashion and brought in a revolution in the field of designing, that were tasteful and not gaudy.
The legendary Beau Brummel, an English courtier in the early 19th Century is credited as the father of the modern suit.
Brummel does not discount the opinions of men of good taste. According to him, a John Bull would not be aware of the quality of the apparel, but he would surely laugh at something that appeared funny to him.
Do not make a laughing stock of yourselves. Good sense of dressing is instantly recognizable since time immemorial. This thought has always made most men feel comfortable.
People stare at a clown walking down the street, they should not stare at you. There is a foundation of quality on which the well-dressed man may feel secure: the basic form of the suit.
It is important to be immaculate and respect one’s body. A neatly stitched suit adds to one’s personality and thus puts him many rungs above the rest on the ladder of social finesse.
