Male adornment has blo~~o med. in p<1rt. because of the cultural shift toward personal expression and individuality that took place in the latter third of the twentieth century. During the 1950 . the typical businessman literally hid behind hi gray flannel uir. The era's political climate mandated fashion conservatism and uniforrnity. ln some circles. men who dared to dress diFferently ·were viewed with derision. as outsiders. Fortunately for men's fashion. the tradition toppling sixties provided the jump start for males to shed their stereotyped personas.

By the

dawn of the new mHienrtium. a peacock had stepped out of the gray Aannel cocoon. One positive outgrmvth of the sixties tw-bulence was the legitimacy that the period gave

to clothes as badges of communication. Masculine attire vvas svvepr up in the quest for broader

wo rld regime is composed of only two colors, black

by the size of the coat's shoulders. (See

chapter 3, "Proportion: The Foundation of· Style.")

Should a1nan be broad-shmddcrcd. a slightl y wider necktie will harmonize better with the jacket's

Learning color management can produce immediate cLvide nds. Take the example of a light-complexioned man in pursuit of the classic navy blazer.

Ti·ouser· legs should taper modestly fi·om thigh to bottom and sit on top of the shoe with a slight break. Although conventional guidance advises against cuffs due to their horizon tal elfect. if the trousers are pleated. the cuff's weight knifes the front leg crease vvhile better anchoring the pant's bottom to the shoes. The cuffs mass also helps forge a more balanced transirjon between the trousers· smaller bottom and larger shoe. particularly important for the heavyset man. ·who needs Jarger footwear to counterpoint the volume above.

Smooth fab rics such as fine worsteds mit1imize t hickness. as do up-and-down patterns such as fine pinstripes. herri ngbones. and windovvpanes longer jn the warp than woof TIP S FOR THE SHORT, S LIM MAN like the heavyset frame. the thin physique

should al·ways dress "large." C losely fitted clothes serve to accentuate the narrow frame. The n1ajo r difference betwee11 the short, stout body and the short. thin ooe is that t he latter's leaner scaffold can entertain more defin ition to the torso. especially around the waist. In order to construct thi , lightl y hourglass shaping. the short. slender physique needs more breadth across his shoulders and chest and fullnes. Lll the upper trouser. The ingle-breasted, three-button jacket would be ·welcome here. as when worn w1butto ned. each side fo.rms a panel down the front that creates an illusion of verticality. The doublebreasted model with lapels rotled below the waist would also serve to elongate this body type. Flaps or patch pockets add weight to the jad<et's proport io nally smaller hip. effecting a better overall balance between the top and botto m halves of the jacket. The height-challenged man, whether wide or narrow. should a\'oid ensembles in '<vhich there is a pronounced contrast between Lipper and lower halves. Hovvever, the thin man can wear lighter colors to better advantage than his corpulent confrere. Fabrics '~' ith strong vertical Unes, such as some plaids and windowpanes. as well as more textured A::tnnels and tweeds~ are very sympathetic to this body type. TIPS FOR THE TALL The higher the tree. the broader its branches: ergo. the ·ix- footer

and above need · full-proportioned cl othing for both naturalness and style. As this guy has plenty of ve rtica1Unes. he needs to produce more ho rizontal ones. His suit jacket should affect an easy-fittiJ1g deme::m or, particularl y around the torso and waist, with ample breadth across the shoul de rs and sufficient length for symmetry and balance. Tl1e rule of thumb on jacket length : sho rt jackets on short men . long ones on tall men. ince this bod)' type's shoulders ah·eady tower high above the floor.

The only reason for any extra padding or thickness would be to build them out a little..A..Itl1ough slightly augmented in scale. the tall man's jacket shouJders should pitdJ forward ever so slightly, contri buting ro the suppleness and softness encircling his upper strata. As for jacket model, this man ca n wear them all. Double-b reasteds are helpful to the cause. because the horizontal t hrust of tl1eir lapels can build out a man, especially if fastened on the natural waistline, not below it. Another 'O ption wouJd be the single- breasted. th ree-button jacket with generous width notch lapels that sit a fract1on low on the chest. such as those of NLr. Cooper's illustrated earlier (sec page 38).

THE SILHOUETTE

orty years ago, one could break down rhe dominant su it si lhouettes into three or four "schools" of custom tailoring. In [ngland. they call it "bespoke." 111 Italy, the wo rd is sartor!tt.. In France. it's known as taillctw. Each generic suit shape could be identified by its national customtailoring tradition, which fil tered down into a variety of rcady-ro-vvear suit styles, several of which emerged over the long term robe almo t i1iimune to the vagaries of fashion .. The first archetype silhouette w'as the so-ca lled Eng!ish look, wh ich took its lead from royalty. who in turn were invariably clothed by one or more of Britain's legendary of avile Row tailors. The Briti h style modeled itself along the lines of them il itary uniform as exemplified by the long- fitting. hourglass-shaped hack.i ng jacket. Adhering closely to the body. with subtle emphas is on the chest and a soft shoulder. the siJhouette's marked waist. slightly ~larcd skirt, and deep side vents, tritnmed s.leeves and tmuser line gave a man a firm, almost regal bearing, especially if he happened to be arisrocraticall)' ·lender. 1\ second generic suit shape vYas popularized b)' Brooks Brothers in America, which

became !mown as the "1vy League look" in the 1950s. Characterized b) a tlu·ee-button. singlebreasted jacket \Nith nanu:al shoulders, undartcd fronts.

The American suit makers were the first to learn t hat the less there was trt c.l garmenr. the better one felt in Jt. The third basic tailored expression became the Continental or l.:.uropean look. Continental style revolved around Italian and, to a lesser extent. French fashion. Virtually the polar opposite of the shapeless American sack suit the ELu·opean cut relied on severity of line to project .its style. Ch<lractc rized by high squarish shoulders cl11d a .shortoveralllengrh. the jacket demanded smalL high armholes to give the chest the length that short jackets denied it.

For years. the terms "EngJjsh" or"American" seemed frozen in time. denoting a particular style of suit and manner of dress that cut across continental and LLLihtral diYides. To be de cribed as" Italian" in one's sartorial proclivities was to suggest t hat a man preferred his clothes fitted and wo rn with a certain aair.

nous tastes to such a degree that those standard suit si Lhouettes have been completely unhi_nged from their former territorial or rruloring moorings. Today, Le Styl€ Anglais is more popular abroad than in England, where only an aging landowner or steadfast client of a avile Rovv tailor might stil l adhere to the old 13ond trcet bromides. One would be equally hard-pressed to find the authentic sack suit for sale in lvlanhartan. The former European fig, with its tight fit and wedge shoulder. has no~r eYolved into a slopeshouldered, side-vented. softly scuJptLu·ed three-button affair, more Anglo-American than Continental. more Metropolitan than iilanese. Therefore, rather than getting sidetracked by fashion's latest n.:m,~·ay of moYing suit sil houettes, arriving at d1at stilt shape relevant to permanent sty! ishness will be made much simplcr

England's avile Row tailors. France's top retailers. and America's sartorial

elite basically agree that the sine qua non of tailoring sophistication is a suit that brackets the wearer'· head with gently sloped, natural-looking, but defined shoulders. This is not to suggest that men's uits have become so homogeneous in cur o r detailing as to be indistinguishable from one another. 1 lovveve r, it is to affirm that the real differe nces in today's top- rung suit sill1ouettes have seldom been less remarkable or more subtle.

As the curve prevented the bottom button from fasteni.ng, the top button was worn undone to balance the trio, giv1ng the low1ge suit a distinctly degage air.

THE SUIT TROUSER

1e most fortuitous development in recent trouser f~shion occurred in the eighties, vvhen pleats and suspenders returned dress trousers to the t1attering sancrua1y of the man:'s natural ' 'vaist. vVhether plain-front or pleated, forwe1rd - or reverse-pleated. narrow- or ful.l -legged.

should a suit trousers' rise be .so low the:1 t their \•vaistband is obliged to rest betvveen the wearer's natural \iVaist and hip. the ideal balance between suit jacket and trousers will be doo1ned. Although plain-fran t trousers have .staged a comeback. today's suit n-o users are pretty much a pleated affair, their shape dictated by the natural li nes of the bod)~ ful:l across the hip and thigh. tapering down to natrm~'er bottom. Pleated pants look dressier, and their pleated fronts provide greater comfurt d1an plain--·front trousers. H ·ips widen when the \Vearer is seated, and pleats faci l itat~ this shift more easily and with less wear to the trouser. Objects placed in a front pants pocket are beuer concealed within the pleated trousers' liotlt. The dassicall]' designed pleated dress trol,lser has two ple;1ts on either sicle of its tly-a deep one neai· the By and a shallower one placed toward the pod<et. This design fostered a working rehtionship bet\veen the two pleats, as the smaller one helps the larger one to remain dosed. Having more than two ple;,its on a trousers· fron t intetferes.with this symbiotic function and is simply a gimmick of fashion.

COLORS AND FABRICS

s rece.ntly as ten years ago, 1nen still spent the majotit)r of their clntbit1g budget o n fall-weight suits. Nmva,days, courtesy of high prices and fears of global \i\rarming, 1t is them idvveight. eight-month two-piece that monopolizes most of their funds. Perhaps the single largest beneficiary of recent textile and manufacturing advances is the three-season suit, the wm-khorse of the male suit wardrobe.

\Nhether Lmtouched by hun1an hands or completely hand-tailored, today's $750 -andup suits ·are confections of m1rivaled lightness. suppleness, and performance. Never before has an1a;n ~s suit

provided him with such comfort along with a sense.o·Fwell-- be,ing. Advanced textile

technology has enabled the top Italian and British

mills to fabricate worsted wools that look

and hang like cloths. almost tv~rice their .weight. Yesterday's rzoarse wool yarns made tailored clothes feel heavy and boardy; conversely today's high- count ·wo rsted yarns make dress suit jackets as Lght as cardigan s-vveaters. 'vVhile vintage suits in oJ'd films appear Lmpeccably suave, \vereyou to s1ip one on today, itwuuld probablyfeel more like an -overcoat than a suit.

The orthodox Yiew held that suits bould be in neat patterns and quiet tones. rmging from midnight to shte blue. from dark charcoal to light gray. Blue and gray5 ''ere considered the business basics be~ause they facllitated the transition From work to after-work activ ity. In the fall. a rich-hued brown suit in cheviot or tweed could be added to the rotation. \iVhile this limited color palette continues to direcr the selection of most men's business suits. d1ere arc more options than e\er before. Let's focus on rho e classic suitings that should form the backbone of the well -dressed m:m's tailored wardrobe.
