The relative complexities of women's and men's fashion
Both
men and women can feel the pressures of keeping their wardrobe
up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion often feels a lot less
complicated. Of course, for both genders, outfits and fashion choices
can be equally as intricate, and there are many 'trendy' items that can
quickly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people
walking around in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's fashion has a few
staple items which will exist forever - which man is going to look out
of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose classic
cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.
Why classic men's fashion is timeless
The
classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True,
there are several varieties for different occasions, but they are all
common in their pursuit of a smart, sharp look for the wearer. The great
thing about classic fashion for men is that it is effortlessly stylish;
effortlessly cool. A well-groomed gentleman will almost always look his
sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the design
of such clothing. A suit will be worn to work in many careers because
of the professional look it affords to the wearer, instilling a sense of
respect and trust. Equally a suit will be worn to many social
occasions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This incredible
versatility that allows suits to be worn in almost all occasions is what
gives it its timeless edge and a permanent place in men's fashion.
Contemporary trends in classic men's fashion
Whilst
classic men's styles will never be replaced, it is interesting to note
that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought certain classic
garments back into fashion. The popularity of vintage clothing,
particularly, has brought back a wide-variety of classic styles into
men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy' is a term
used to refer to men who dress in a classic yet extravagant way, placing
importance on appearance and acting in a refined manner. This trend for
almost 'over-the-top' classic fashion for men is evident from events
such as the 'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress in
notably Victorian-style attire and take to the streets on vintage
bicycles - with many of the men sporting impeccable mustaches! This is
just one of many examples of evidence displaying the resurgence of such
styles. There are also numerous blogs online which focus on gentlemanly
style - such as 'The Dandy Project' and 'Dandyism' - as well as entire
websites such as 'The Art of Manliness' dedicated to providing articles
on classic men's fashion and grooming.
In summary, whilst certain
facets of classic men's fashion can be brought back as new trends, the
fundamental garments that they are based on will never slip out of
fashion.
