SUIT. SUIT. SUIT.


Rummaging a list of preferred reads and inspirations, there’s a post from Scott Schuman with a pleasant idea on style; based on a question asked of the Bearded Man. With the New Year, people fathom ridiculous resolutions in which they contradict in a two week time span, max. However, the concept Ouigi Theodore presented got my mind churning on the idea and excited that it may in fact be a tangible one – a suit for every occasion. It’s common to wear a suit in the corporate world or to a cocktail party hosted by the elites of the city. However, consider wearing a suit daily, for any occasion. Sure you may brush the idea off at first glance, but really think about it.

Kanye West mentioned in his song titled Last Call, a personal favorite, “you ____ wear suits 'cause you can't dress no mo’. I heard this line and thought, there’s truth in that. One can easily get comfortable in the daily routine of tying their tie and buttoning their jacket because that’s what their career entails. But take a step back. Imagine seeing someone in a suit at a baseball game and they look like that’s exactly where they belong. To truly accomplish this, it would take a deep understanding of style, balance and opposition. Not to mention, a certain level of charm for the sake of people in your presence. People aren’t perceptive to the style of someone; it’s the charm of the look that captures them.  From well-tailored pants to clean cut jackets, the affair of casual suits would be an impressionable one. When I read this resolution, I thought what a breath of fresh air it could be to witness this. In an industry so stuffed with thousand dollar suits, does one for every occasion exist?
