TAILORED STRAIGHT UP
WITH A TWIST
|
|
 Young guys are being forced to cut a more tailored figure at work as more
corporations are tightening the screws on employee appearance after years of lax
dress codes. Moreover, these fledgling professionals enjoy dressing up a bit
more.
Some of the emerging trends triggered by the younger men
developing a taste for tailored clothing are shorter jackets with slimmer fits
and more modern silhouettes and the best of sartorial details. Sartorial models,
like three-piece vested suits, double-breasted and single-breasted jackets with
peak lapels, are being reinterpreted along slim, modern lines in custom tailored
clothing.
Young men are discovering suits as a tool to enhance their
image and separate them advantageously from the business pack. A younger
generation has gone back in time with dressing up, because dressing up with
suits is cool again.
Dressing up, and dressing well, is becoming a
young man's game. Young men, and their counterparts of any age, are looking to
custom clothing to find new ways to make dressing up even fancier. This
interesting style movement is a blend of classic sartorial elements with
contemporary styling options like a structured shoulder that is not too bold or
square, slightly shorter jacket length, and for the trim man, flat front
trousers. |

 Question:
Is there a relationship between tie and suit lapels?
Answer:
As lapel widths expand and contract incrementally with fashion's movements, so too do neckties widths. It's easy to avoid premature fashion obsolescence by resisting extreme deviations and following the counsel of your custom clothier. We are seeing neckties getting ever so slightly narrower.
Common sense tells us that thin men require slimmer lapels and ties and that broader gentlemen demand wider lapels and wider-width ties to balance the look. Perhaps a more pertinent question would be which necktie width and lapel width is the most flattering for your physique? Custom tailoring always allows you to choose the correct lapel width for you. |
