Designer Trends And Men's Suits

By James V. Santerino

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.

These deviations are understandable, given that the designers are obviously motivated to generate demand for new products and would dearly like to be able to sell men their latest fancies every year; but a man of good taste will have nothing to do with them. With only gentle shifts over the years, the form of the elegant men's suit has remained remarkably consistent.

Men's suits come in a host of variations, but crucially, those variations are on the side of small details within the recognizable core identity of the man's suit. Good men's suits vary from one another in details-two or three button; side, center, or no vents; notch, shawl, or peak lapel; the fineness and color of the fabric-and in the details of he cut.

Bad suits may arise from poor workmanship and fit; but the great, wrong-headed, sartorial calamities arise when a suit attempts to be unique. One should always hope that one's suit is exceptionally well-made, but it is a calamity if it is exceptionally designed.

He brought a sea change in the men's fashion industry, using the average English man's name 'John Bull'. He was known for his excellent sense of dressing.

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.

One must take care not to be that clown. The enduring quality of the elegant suit is immediately obvious in any historical survey of men's fashions over the last two centuries. There is a core 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.
