How the times change. In 2018, three Michelin star chef
Dabiz Muñoz said, somewhat surprised, that he had not been allowed to enter an
anonymous London club for a meeting with a financier. Why? Because he wasn't
wearing a suit. After Covid, with talk about office building closings and
surveys suggesting that most people now want to work from home for most of each
week, it would be difficult to find someone in a suit. Formal wear businesses
have come to a standstill, and even the esteemed Savile Row tailors have shut
down for decent technologyify.
This follows two of the most powerful macro trends to
reshape menswear in the last 20 years as well. First, there is the breakdown of
workplace dress codes, which itself reflects a break in conventional workplace
hierarchies. A 2019 study found that only one in 10 UK workers wears a suit to
work, and three-quarters of them dress not just on Fridays, but every day. They
also prefer it: it is cheaper, more comfortable and creates a more relaxed work
environment. And then there's the fundamental shift at the heart of work in the
21st century toward self-employment, the gig economy, a struggle between work
and play, and even the need for large companies to present a more accessible

Business casual has quickly convert the de facto costume
code for modern organizations, as Canali attests.
If the costume is no longer an expected outfit out of all
races, but the most conservative of races, in some circles it is indeed frowned
upon, symbolic of the suffocation and lack of dynamism of youth. Even the
Institute of Directors has introduced a "smart casual" dress code.
The G8 world leaders meeting also fostered a more relaxed atmosphere with the
aim of fostering a more "intimate and informal" atmosphere. The
corporate monoliths of JP Morgan and PwC followed technologyford.
Second, there has been the influence of streetwear,
which was once a
niche categorized by age, now, in fact, since its pioneers have grown and
gained positions of power, which represent the majority of men's fashion; And
then that was followed by the formal knockout that came under the guise of
athleisure: the wholesale appropriation of sportswear - functional,
comfortable, progressive - as everyday wear. This is, of course, a trend that
has only benefited more from sickness lockdowns techiesin.
The rise of athleisure income you're more likely to see up-to-date
men wearing matching tailored sweatshirts, like Brunello Cucinelli's, than a
traditional two-piece.
So things are looking pretty bad for the costume, right?
Well maybe. Of course, formalwear manufacturers argue that there will always be
some kind of occasion for the structured costume, as people will always love
the idea of dressing up for an event, albeit purely anecdotal, the claim that
men now choose wear a costume. Going out seems blatantly wrong, unless it's to
go to an upscale restaurant or the opera house. And that is often not enough to
maintain style, even in "normal" times. technologyies
On the contrary, as famous tailor Richard James argued,
it is the suit itself that will have to change in order to
survive. It will have to be softer and lighter, largely due to the choice of
fabrics, and factories now make more woven blends to provide a looser,
cardigan-like ease with more natural stretch but also retention of form and
retention of form. -repelence. It is a touch of formality with many features.
In other words, the Suit 2.0 is sporty with a better fit. Or, it completely
reboots as a couture item, subject to the same changing and dwindling trends.
Suit 2.0 is likely to be much more flexible and relaxed.
The kind of cuts Italian tailors like Boglioli have long been known for.
The suit still appears on the red carpet, but not in a way
that would cut it into any boardroom - look at those bright colors and soft
pastels, crushed velvets and other off-piste fabrics, the big patterns,
asymmetrical cuts, and raglan. sleeves, velcro closures and slip-on jackets.
The top and bottom halves go together, but that's all that makes these looks
suitable in the traditional sense.
