Men’s suits for 2009
We all know that men’s suiting isn’t seasonal, but 2009’s fashion shall mark a distinct change in the direction of formal-wear for men. Well-groomed men turn to the classics for inspiration.
Here are the elements you need to look for:
The Cut
As men return to classic suiting, remember that the English suit is the most classic one and it always includes a slim, military cut to it. Men’s suits for 2009 present a combination between classic tailoring, classic looks and the modern masculine silhouette:
• broad shoulders
• a slim waist
• slim trousers
Double Breasted Suits
The piece of perfection in a double-breasted suit in 2009 is the slim cut that you should be looking for. The double-breasted suits in 2009 present broad shoulders and a slim waist in order to outline the perfect masculine shape: the V-shaped, well worked body instead of hiding a plump figure.
Three-Piece Suits
The three-piece suit is back, it’s subtle and classic. The waistcoat has to be conservative and in the same fabric as the suit’s other two pieces. On selecting the perfect three-piece suit, designers recommend looking for a waistcoat whose V shape breaks somewhere between the sternum and the base of the rib cage.
Oxford Bags
The modern feature on Oxford bags is the loose trousers, though nowhere near as baggy as those worn in the 1920s and 1930s, paired with a fitted waistcoat and/or jacket.
