Designer Clothes and Vintage Style, the Best Fit, Colour
Whether one is considering purchasing an expensive designer suit along the lines of Canali, Armani, Boss, or Calvin Klein or simply cruising the local thrift or consignment shop for a trendy new look it becomes increasingly important to consider the style of closure that your garment will have – the most popular contemporary styles being the 3-button and 2-button suit.
Advantages of the 3-Button Suit
The three button suit is a a very classic look that bestows a more formal look upon the wearer – usually the case wherever buttons are concerned. The more buttons, typically, the more formal the garment. By this reasoning, 1-button suits that are very much in vogue currently are weighted heavily towards style rather than for convention.
The 3-button choice is a bit more conservative in nature and for this reason can be better suited for everyday wear in a business environment. Taller men might enjoy the higher closure of a suit of this particular make, providing a tighter fit around the chest and a typically straight silhoutte.
It can be difficult to find a fashionable and appropriate three button suit at a thrift store, or a consignment shop. The lack of variety and size range in particular styles can be limiting, as a three-button suit is possessed of a more difficult fit for most builds, the higher closure leading to a less accomodating chest measurement. This does not mean that a greal deal cannot be found, however.
Popular colours in three button suits tend to trend in more traditional colours, simple black or navy.
Advantages of the 2-Button Suit
The two button suit has been increasingly in popularity over the course of the last few years, and is now quite easily the more common of the two styles, especially amongst designer labels as the style is currently the tops when it comes to fashion.
The two button suit is an excellent choice for casual wear, lending itself perfectly to being worn with denim, whether that be designer jeans or even quality vintage jeans with a slight tint or wash. When paired with a fitted dress shirt, sport shirt, or even a well co-ordinated t-shirt or ringer, a two button blazer or suit jacket is the perfect item to pull a smart casual look together with impact and cohesiveness.
The two button suit can also be great for shorter men, especially in formal or semi-formal situations. The construction of a two button suit accents the shoulders, making them appear broader and straighter, while simulaneously lengthening the appearance of the torso – an aesthetic plus and extremely complimentary. This is not to say that taller gentlemen will not benefit from the above attributes as well, as they certainly might.
With regards to purchasing such garments secondhand, it is much easier to decide on a purchase – due in part to the logic applied earlier with regard to casual wear of two button blazers and suit jackets. An improvement in colour variety is also a great advantage when considering a two button suit, colours ranging from light gray to taupe to chocolate pinstripes are very popular and acceptable amongst this more liberal fashion style. Peak lapels really cement the fashion-forward image projected by a well fitting two button suit.
Whether a gentleman chooses a three button suit for wear at the office or a wedding or a two button blazer for wear with a sharp new pair of dress jeans, the importance of fit and construction can never be ignored.
Certain silhouettes and closures can make or break an outfit, so be sure to choose the style that best fits the figure, the outfit, and the context.
New Lighter Fabrics Are Now Becoming Available
Wearing a suit in hot weather is rarely much fun – especially during what promises to be a hot summer. But the good news is that as temperatures rise suit fabric weights are falling with some of the lightest, coolest ever cloths being produced this year.
A lightweight fabric for mens suits is made from fine yarns, which are usually then finely woven. “In terms of wool we consider the fabric light when it weighs no more then 170gsm. Previously a wool fabric of 200gsm was considered light,” says Pier Luigi Loro Piana of the fashion house and fabric producer Loro Piana in an email interview with the author of this article.
Cashmere and Silk Light Fabrics
Loro Piana has a cashmere and silk fabric weighing only 100gsm. Specially processed, it has the strength necessary to withstand weaving and a kilo of this yarn would extend for around 570 km, the company has calculated.
The GSM is the weight of the cloth in grammes per square metre. One of the lightest available find at the moment is, for example, just 190gsm with Ermenegildo Zegna’s Trofeo 600 fabric while the heaviest is around 480 to 500gsm and is used for coats, according to a company spokeswoman in an interview with the author of this article.
There are wool-only fabrics which weigh just 110gsm but few tailors can work with something so light just in wool unless they’re treated or mixed with something else. Read the rest of this entry »
