The new styles are rolling out at New York's 2009 Fashion Week! It's a time when the world of fashion sets aside its petty fears of recession and dwindling sales to garb itself in the latest designer trends and movements.
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.
Of course, even a cursory glance at the men's runway shows reveals that the basic form of the suit is not at all adhered to. Designers may send out monstrously large lapels all year, all numbers of buttons crowding up the chest the next, or sleeves and trouser cuffs cut so short as to make the wearer look like a boy in his late teens squeezed into his bar mitzvah finery.
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.
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.
Suits made poorly in terms of fit, fabric and workmanship can not be saved by simply throwing another button the suit.
The legendary Beau Brummel, an English courtier in the early 19th Century is credited as the father of the modern suit.
As he said, using the then-current nick-name for the average, British, middle-class man, "John Bull," "If John Bull turns around to look at you, you are not well-dressed." Brummel is famous for the care with which he dressed and is thought of as an archetypal dandy, so such a desire to avoid notice might seem puzzling.
What Brummel warns us against, though, is showy and tacky effect. He does not mean that the man of good taste ought not to be admired for his clothes; but rather, the man of good taste should only want to seek that good opinion of other elegant men who can appreciate the high quality of his clothes. "John Bull," who has no eye for beauty or art, would not recognize the fineness of a good suit; but he would certainly turn to stare at a clown walking down the street.
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. - 15634
