The suit makes office comeback as loose, more relaxed fits reign

The classic men’s suit refuses to die. Despite disruptive sartorial movements like the rise of streetwear and the increasing casualization of C-suite uniforms — not to mention a global pandemic that put everyone in athleisure — the final nail in its coffin has yet to be hammered.In fact, some insiders believe that the aftermath of Covid-19 was partially responsible for hastening the suit’s most recent reinvention. “I think everyone got tired of wearing sweatpants and are now excited to dress up again,” says menswear writer Jeremy Freed. “And as dress codes have relaxed, dressing for the office doesn’t mean what it did a generation ago.”In other words, now that suits are no longer an office requirement, they’re seen as something novel, even fun, to wear.Designers are reworking them accordingly. Whether it was the louche excess of Saint Laurent’s swaggering suits or the roomy ease of the Row’s monastic tailoring or even Zegna’s nubby, boxy workwear-hybrid versions, the fall 2024 collections saw marquee labels take a languid approach to the classic two-piece.This new wave of looser, relaxed suiting isn’t the full baggy pleats of ’90s-era Giorgio Armani, but it does point toward a look that offers more ease and rakish appeal: a bit of Italian sprezzatura, some West Coast informality, and, yes, some ’80s Wall Street swagger. We’re calling it Armani Light.A bevy of smaller, buzzy labels have led the charge. British label Drake’s has cornered the “cool professor” vibe with its... Continue reading at 'Crains New York'
