The evolution of suits

Men’s formal dressing has undergone a sea of change over decades. While double breasted suits with full cut trousers and tuxedos with tails were quite the statement in the 1930s, the post-WWII era saw the emergence of single-breasted jackets, pleat-free pants, wide lapels and spread collars. Then came the 50s which catered to trim tailored suits with accessories like a hat and pocket square.

The 60s saw flared trousers and flower shirts while the rocking 70s brought leisure suits with floppy collars into fashion. The following decade saw the streets of the West explode with broad-shouldered suits with suspenders and shirts in bold prints and colours.

“Suits are full of joy. They're the sartorial equivalent of a baby's smile.”

Baggy silhouettes and business casuals took over in 1990s which quite simply marked the end of casual dressing. Because with the new millennium men began dressing up with fit, individuality and impact in mind. In the words of Barney Stinson, popular character on the sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, “Suit up!”

The bespoke suit – a style that exudes class and comfort — is now here to stay.
