Contemporary Tailoring: The Best Designer Suit Brands
We value specialists precisely because we trust their
established experience.
They know what they
are doing. So if you want a costume, go see a good tailor. At the very least,
if you want a classic costume, with all the emphasis on construction, fabric,
longevity, and in most cases timelessness. But if you famine something a little
more current, look for "designer" brands.
Since they largely reflect seasonal changes,
making it impossible to talk about any of them having a
different home style, designers can find it difficult to give you a costume
that works like a horse. Versatile work that you will use for years to come.
but you will find one that is ready to play with shape, color, and detail. And
it is this piece that adds a touch to what is, in essence, an inherently
conservative garment; And in a way that these sewing specialists probably won't
let go.
In other words, why you may develop a loyalty to a tailor
(fit and shape still work for you, and you can come back to them year after
year) on the one hand, you may also be drawn to designer brands. Some 21st
Century Sparkle in your two bedroom apartment.

Dolce and Gabbana
Jacquard Martini Suit,
As in the 1990s, the Italian giant still embodies a
contemporary take on the Dolce Vita style of the 1950s and 1960s: while women
smoke, they are round and kohl-eyed, men smoke and are sharp like pocket
knives. - clean and monochrome construction. It is Reservoir Dogs that meets

Gucci
Symbols Wool Jacquard Jacket,
Gucci wasn't quick to shed its 1970s style, all that
“Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci” glamor at Studio 54. And it still works. If you want

Paul smith
Kensington Slim-Fit Blue Wool "A Suit for
Travel",
One of the first designer brands to be recognized for its
tailors, in large part because the man behind the famous British brand has
barely left navy haute couture, Paul Smith's approach is essentially English -
think long line and slim with a cinched waist and strong shoulder. So why buy
Paul Smith instead of a sewing specialist? For original details such as the
striped inner lining with contrast stitching around the buttonholes.

Thom browne
Pantsuit,
Thom Browne was years ahead of the pack in terms of taking a
fresh look at the proportions of classic haute couture to do something new;
something traditionalists considered ridiculous, but which nonetheless reshaped
haute couture fashion over the next decade. Browne plays with proportions, his
aesthetic is a bit like having your wool suit run through a hot water wash; he
thinks of shorter, tighter jackets and shorts that sparkle at the ankles.

Stefano ricci
Single-breasted suit,
More classic than trendy, Stefano Ricci's suits (featured

be a choice for presidents, oligarchs, and CEOs of multinationals. Each suit is
made entirely in Italy by the brand's team of specialized artisans.

Ralph lauren
Fine striped stretch cotton and wool blend suit jacket, €
395>
Tasteful grandpa Ralph Lauren mixes American influences,
from the bag suit to the 1950s Ivy League attire, with an American version of
the English tailor. The result is so conservative that it turns into something
great. It also invites experimental attire, as one would expect from the
designer who once mixed black tie and denim.

Printed virgin wool twill slim fit suit,
Stereotypes are hard to avoid, but there is something very
Germanic about Hugo Boss's costume: he is austere, efficient and
straightforward, as befitting.
