There has been a move away from formality even within the city over the last five years. On a basic level, men are not wearing ties. I think that shift will just keep moving further and further away from the traditional suit.
We’re getting a lot of clients now coming in who don’t necessarily have to wear a suit for work. But they want to wear one casually in the way you’d wear a tracksuit. They’re looking for that comfort. That will become a classic part of a man’s wardrobe over the last decade where the suit is worn in quite a different way to how it has been over the past couple of hundred years.
On a technical level, we’re seeing and I imagine this being normalised, a completely unstructured jacket with no canvasing and no shoulder pads so it’s just like a cardigan. It still looks sharp but you can separate it and just pair it with a T-shirt, trainers and drawstring trousers.
Whilst I think there are a lot of guys wearing that look already I think in 10 years that will just be the standard, the accepted look for men at all levels, with the idea that the rigidity has been completely removed from tailoring.
