Seasons changes as the months go by, so as with fashion. Fashion goes in cycle motion and even though we think that fashion is a repetitive cycle; it always has something new to offer because as the years go by new creative fashion designers adds up to the fashion industry and create a whole new look out of the vintage. And that’s the birth of the new line of fashion for a certain year and season.
Yesterday, men are wearing white tube socks halfway up the calves, garage sale t-shirts and shorts from the 1970s for their daily outfits. To attend a ball or a social gathering expects that moms already prepared a freshly ironed outfit draped on the bed for the men on the house. Mothers and wives are the one scouting and setting up the suits to be worn by their sons and husbands without really asking if they want to wear it or not. That’s among the roles of women, to help with choosing or determining the perfect outfight for their men’s occasion. A well dressed man, meaning the suit has no single stain, smells fresh and is properly pressed earns the respect of the people around him and proves that she has a great woman in the house that truly takes care of him. That’s the custom way back then. Men don’t have a fashion guru like Carlo Lusso to give them tips on how to dress well, but they still manage to look their best. Although, comfort is not really much the priority in men fashion of yester years, we must be thankful that they have given us the two major qualities in fashion which is classicism and elegance.
Today, one of the most striking fashion changes in menswear was a widespread belief that clothing should be a bit more comfortable. The “comfort” aspect that is seemingly neglected in the past is the major consideration in men’s’ fashion nowadays. Men don’t just want to look classy and elegant in a suit, but they want to be comfortable in wearing it. It was very visible now that fashion's finger points to the low-cut dress shoe, not anymore the high cut ankle boot; the soft cotton dress collar from the golfer's wardrobe that were preferred to the high, stiff one that Elvis Presley was famous of; belts were trumping suspenders; put away those bellbottom jeans and give way to leggings and fitted trousers; good-bye tail coats, and hello tuxedo and welcome fitted suits for men. These are just some of the many changes in men fashion to achieve that comfort feeling without compromising the sense of classicism and elegance.
Tomorrow will be a whole new world for sure in men’s fashion. We can already have a clear vision that the more our world becomes advanced and modernized in terms of machines in manufacturing clothes; we can expect a great change in the texture and the over-all look of all apparels. We have already succeeded to be comfortable in all the clothes we wear. We don’t have an aim yet for tomorrow. But since man by nature can never be contented on everything, for sure those creative minds are already on works for what will be expected for tomorrow.
