In fact, suits don’t go away, they just transform to become more relevant to contemporary trends and lifestyles. Looking back at Robert Pattinson’s recent red carpet fashion, it can be seen that he increasingly favors oversized suits.

The common point in the suits worn by Justin Bieber, Robert Pattinson or Timothee Chalamet lies in a somewhat relaxed figure, saying no to shirts and ties. In the past, men valued the fit factor when ordering a suit and tie as an accessory they might not do without, but the reality is different today.

During their meeting at the G7 summit in the Alps in June 2022, a group of leaders took a photo that made waves in the fashion world. The reason was simple: none of them wore ties even though they were all wearing suits. Men’s fashion editor Derek Guy later posted this photo on his personal Twitter page with the caption “tie is dead.”

Obviously, “suit and tie” has returned to be fresh and bolder than before, from the silk shirt samples at Celine Homme’s Spring/Summer 2023 show to the vest worn with torn jeans by Egonlab or the matching tie. with Dries Van Noten pocket pants. The CEO of Moss Bros – a famous brand of tailored suits, explains: “Suits follow fashion trends just like any other fashion item. The suit we saw today is softer and more casual.”

Along with the rise of Gen Z, an open and free generation, “suit and tie” will surely appear in many more surprising and interesting new variations.
