Men's three-piece suit

The lifestyle of a big city, of course, leaves its mark on the style of clothing. Over time, our daily routine has ceased to be disturbed by global economic ups and downs, such as the crisis of the nineties, defaults and other troubles. The fashion world has also experienced relative stability. And in the men's wardrobe, a three-piece suit has firmly taken its place.

Classics are always relevant, so when buying an expensive men's suit, you don't have to worry about wasted money. Contrary to the widely advertised slogan “Image is nothing”, the dress code has not been canceled, and there is a huge difference between going to an interview for a job in a serious company in casual clothes or in a formal suit.

In addition, the vest, which is part of the ensemble, will give the man harmony and presentability.A custom-made suit is considered a special chic, as it fits perfectly on the figure, hides flaws and exposes its owner as a respectable master of life.

Depending on tailoring, costumes can be divided into several categories.

The most popular at all times remains the traditional version of the suit, which originates from the shores of the Foggy Albion and consists of a single-breasted jacket, trousers and a vest of a single color, mostly black, gray or dark blue. And if the gray color is considered somewhat democratic, then dark blue is ideal for creating the most strict bow.

The vest can be of two options - closed or open. The closed model has a small prim neckline, which only slightly opens the tie. An open vest implies a deep cutout in front, lapels that wrap around the neck create the illusion of a full-fledged vest. In fact, the back remains bare.

The jacket of the English suit is equipped with shoulder pads that maintain the silhouette in perfect condition, the style is distinguished by a slightly narrower cut and a high waist, which obviously slims its owner. A slot is provided at the back to avoid violation of strict lines. Pants have a high waist.

Contrary to popular belief about Italians as hot, emotional and gesticulating men, they prefer strict suits, not flashy, made in the spirit of minimalism.If the trousers are straight, if the jacket is single-breasted with slightly raised narrow shoulders, there are no slots. Recently, designers have allowed some deviations from established traditions and you can find double-breasted models, but the silhouette lines still remain perfectly even.

In what the Italians could not change themselves, it was in the choice of fabric. The material for tailoring suits is distinguished by sophistication, richness of texture, high quality and high price.

The American three-piece suit is suitable for those men who put comfort above all else. The free cut, which has become the reason for the nickname “bag” attached to the model, has an undeniable advantage in the form of the ability to not hinder movement and at the same time look businesslike and official. The jacket rejects the presence of shoulder pads in principle, is democratic in terms of silhouette, does not have clear instructions on the number of buttons and is equipped with a vent at the back for added convenience. The trousers are designed in the same style, loose and slightly gathered to the waist.

It became widespread in the eighties of the last century and is recommended exclusively for tall men. The jacket is slightly fitted, has an elongated cut, which visually balances the figure.

A characteristic feature is the fabric, which has the ability to keep its original appearance and not wrinkle. The cut is quite loose, the sleeves do not hinder movements.In general, it resembles the American version due to some bagginess, but what does not take away the German quality and practicality is the presence of unbuttoned buttons on the sleeves and hand-sewn loops.

The pinnacle of sophistication and elegance. A cropped jacket with rounded shoulders, tapered down, will look good on short men with an asthenic physique.

Without a doubt, the palm in this segment belongs to the English trio, but the Italian suit, designed in strict terms, does not break the rules. Although any model has the right to be called a classic, if it combines such qualities as the severity of lines and colors, minimalism in details.

This includes the English version, as well as French and European. The classic type is characterized by a dazzling white shirt in the ensemble and a plain color of the fabric.

The name speaks for itself, this category is represented by all the models mentioned, with the exception of a tuxedo and tailcoat.

The main colors of the three-piece suit are black, gray and dark blue. In principle, the official setting allows for the variability of the blue color, but if the case is very responsible, then it is the dark blue tone that will best cope with the task of creating a strict image, especially in combination with a snow-white or bluish shirt. Recently, designers are increasingly recommending paying attention to a pink or lilac shirt. Sometimes in the colors of a three-piece suit, the presence of a strip is possible.

A black suit is most appropriate in a solemn setting, but on working days it will also put its owner in a favorable light.

As for pastel colors, they are unacceptable in a business setting even in the summer season, but a slightly noticeable check or stripe can add elegance to the image.

According to the established tradition, suits are sewn mainly from woolen fabrics, since one of the advantages of wool is that it does not wrinkle. Also, woolen fabric perfectly passes air, which allows you to feel comfortable in a suit both in summer and in winter.

If there is a need to look solid and presentable, it is recommended to pay attention to the classic tweed suit. Initially, tweed received a start in life as a reliable, durable material that protected English gentlemen from the unpredictable tricks of the local climate, and later won fans on the mainland. Try asking a store to show you a tweed suit when you are in the United Kingdom, you will certainly be offered a traditional model that is comparable in terms of heat conduction to a cropped coat.Also, according to tradition, trousers made of tweed three-piece are without fail equipped with suspenders.

When choosing a suit, it should be remembered that the lapels of the collar are supposed to fit snugly against the body. In no case should the shoulders hang down; the formation of folds and wrinkles on the back is unacceptable. The optimal length of the sleeve is up to the bone of the wrist, allowing you to see the sleeve of the shirt by one centimeter.

The jacket of a classic three-piece suit covers the buttocks, while the slot does not diverge to the sides.

Traditionally, the suit is worn with an immaculately white shirt, although deviation from the norm towards other light colors is allowed. According to established canons, the bottom button on the jacket is not fastened.

Of the accessories, a tie, belt, wrist watch will not be superfluous at all. The main rule is to follow the rule that accessories are supposed to give the impression that their value exceeds the price of the suit. You can add a little "peppercorn" in the form of an intricate pocket square.

Among the outstanding designers who turned their attention to the men's suit, the Italian Brioni holds the palm. He uses especially fine wool to create his collections. The latest James Bond Daniel Craig flaunts in his products, and Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin also prefers them.

Suits by American designer William Fioravanti, an adherent of the most strict style, are among the most expensive in the world.The business card is a deep neckline showing a shirt and tie. The cost of a suit can reach up to twenty thousand dollars.

Another fashion designer from Italy, Enzo D'Orsi, created a special line of suits made from the wool of Australian and New Zealand fine-fleeced sheep.

Designer Alexander Amosu distinguished himself by creating a suit embellished with clasps made of 18 carat gold.
