If you’ve been out and about in the big city recently, you would have noticed that young men seem to have adopted a whole new fashion style in regards to their clothing and suits. You know something major has happened in the young men’s fashion industry when a new style comes forth and takes over completely. A fashion style so powerful that you actually forget what young men were wearing previously when it comes to fashion. Slim Fit style. It seems that every young man under the age of 30 has adopted without hesitation slim fit suits and slim fit dress shirts as well. It seems like you won’t even see a fashion minded young man out and about wearing anything else but slim fit clothing when style counts. Slim fit clothing naturally has that new look that just gives a young man a highly tailored look. It first came on the scene in Italy with their naturally thinner silhouettes that you will even see with their soccer players on the field.
Slim fit suits soon took to the fashion runways in Milan and Paris and completely turned the whole suit industry upside down when it came to young men’s fashion. The looks were not only tighter fitting but shorter fitting as well. Almost like the young male models were wearing a suit 2 sizes smaller than they should as well as shorter. The whole young men’s fashion world not only gasped at what they were witnessing but accepted the new style hook, line and sinker and never looked back. The slim fit style immediately went to young men’s suits and then naturally went to slim fit shirts and dress shirts as well as slim fit dress pants that were flat front, not a pleat to be seen anywhere. The whole new fashion simply had to be tighter fitting and nothing else would be accepted by young men when it came to their new style of fashion.
If you are wondering exactly what it takes to make slim fit style clothing like slim fit suits and dress shirts. It’s all about that silhouette. It’s not that the clothing is just smaller fitting. Its how it is cut that really makes it stand apart from traditionally fit clothing. On slim fit suits and shirts for example, the torso parts of the garments are tighter fitting designed to almost be skin tight to the torso. Now, if that was all that was done, the suits and shirts would look extremely odd. In order for the silhouette to look proper, the sleeves must be made slim fit as well. That requires the sleeves of either the suits or shirts to be tighter fitting as well as the arm holes on the jackets or dress shirts to be higher rising so that the arm hole openings go right to the armpits for that slim fit look. But let’s not stop there. The fashion has to look aesthetically pleasing so on a slim fit suit, the body of jacket must me made shorter as well by an inch or inch and half. On a traditional fitting suit, the bottom of the jacket has to cover the crotch of the suit wearing man. On a slim fit style suit, you’ll immediately notice that the fall of the jacket is shorter and that crotch part of the man’s pants are actually visible. No different that rising hemlines of women’s skirts. On slim fit style shirts, the same philosophy is applied as well with the body of shirt being higher than a traditional fitting dress shirt. If the shirt is meant to be worn untucked, you will also notice that bottom of the shirt will also fall about crotch height or a bit higher for that slim fit look that all of the young men who dress stylish seem to want these days.
