Men's Tailoring Trends To Update Your Wardrobe

Understanding the Current Tailoring Trends

The modern suit can be traced back to regency times when socialite Beau Brummell first brought the tailoring trend to light. In todays world men's tailoring has come along way and evolved to blend classic styles with a modern edge. In 2024 we’ve seen tailoring revolve around a mix of relaxed fits, heritage fabrics, double breasted fastenings and bold colours.

Embrace Relaxed Fits

Relaxed fits have taken the lead when it comes to the favoured fit of the season. Gone are the days when tight suits ruled the roost. Allowing for freedom of movement and a more laidback vibe this trend is ideal if you’re looking for a more casual approach to tailoring. Relaxed doesn’t mean baggy, the best way to nail this trend is to size up and have you’re suit tailored to fit your body and preference. Top tip: The trouser hem should be slightly tapered to balance out the look. This style offers versatility, taking you from a work meeting to casual drinks effortlessly.

Play with Textures and Fabrics

When it comes to fabric, texture is everything. A trend that has staying power think wool mix suits for winter and lightweight linens for summer. Mixing textures can elevate your style by introducing visual interest and depth. To achieve a sophisticated and harmonious appearance, consider pairing a neutral tweed two-piece suit with a soft cashmere sweater. This not only creates a visually appealing ensemble but also offers a luxurious and comfortable wearing experience.

Bold Patterns and Colours

Whilst navy and blacks are a wardorbe must have coloured and patterned suits like bright blues, vibrant reds, modern checks and classic stripes can elevate your look and make a big statement. If there was ever a trend to add a dash off personality to your look then this is it. Don’t be afraid to go bold and opt for something you ordinarily wouldn’t choose. Ease yourself into the trend slowly by opting for one statement piece, our Jose Sky Check Blazer is ideal and looks great when paired with chinos.

Tailoring Accessories

Bold statement accessories are a huge trend for 2024. The cherry on top of a sundae carefully curated accessories complete a look. Think pocket squares in timeless prints like paisley, stripes and polkadots in vibrant colours that will instantly lift a dull suit to new heights. Knitted accessories have been a staple for a while but for 2024 we’re seeing them creep up to the top spot as the favoured accessory of choice. These small details can add a personal touch to your attire. Don’t overlook the power of shoes either; a classic pair of brogues or loafers can change the entire vibe of your outfit.

The Importance of Fit

A Marc Darcy mantra the importance of a well fitting suit can never be understated. Whilst buying off the rack certainly saves on the pennies to truly elevate your tailoring look we always advise getting your suit altered to fit you perfectly. A simple alteration can transform an average piece into something extraordinary. Think of it as sculpting—you're just refining the masterpiece. Investing in a good tailor can yield high returns when it comes to your wardrobe.

A Modern update on the classic
