Very often considered to be only a set of
garments, the business suit has a long history and dates as far back as
the seventeenth century. When they prepare for business meetings and
power lunches men do not even spent a moment to think about how this
particular piece of clothing has come to dominate their wardrobe. The
account of its appearance is quite amazing and not many are aware of the
fact that in the beginning the office suit used to be nothing more than
a lounge suit. This particular men wear takes us back to the time of
King Charles II of England. The King of England was a fashionable person
and carried himself around with much grace and elegance. In order to
establish authority at the court, the king introduced a code of dress.
The true reason behind this is the fact that, as a result of the
outbreak of the plague, Charles II perceived the luxurious court outfits
to be a political inconvenience.
Up until that moment, the
ordinary Joe could not wear certain colors or fabrics. Fine furs and
extravagant colors were reserved only for the elite. Consequently, the
King of England took measures and forbid the members of high society to
wear anything but modest tunics and neutral colors. The type of pret à
porter home was a sort of prototype for the future business suit. Until
the Edwardian era, the suit had been either in or out of fashion. Apart
from this, it was totally abandoned due to the historical context of the
French revolution. In the eighteenth century, men wore garments that
were a bit more bespoken, while in the nineteenth century the lounge
suit made a comeback. The trend in the nineteenth century is said to
have been started by Beau Brummel who used to wear only fine-cut items
and accessorized all his suits with neckties. It appears that this look
was considered at the time more attractive than the sumptuous outfits of
the upper-class because there was a high contrast between them.
The influence spread to Europe where people were smitten by the
austere look. Apart from introducing a new style, Brummel taught men how
to groom in men’s toilette and the influence remained till the regency
period when men used to wear dark colored suits and tall boots. This is
actually the ancestor of the tuxedo and it was more casual than it is
today. The tuxedo was designed in order to be used for formal occasions.
In the first years of the nineteenth century tailoring began to focus
on wide -legged pants, known at the time as “oxford bags”, and further
changes were represented by the pioneer work of Italian designers who
introduced the trend of fitting suits which is still popular even at
present. The latest history of the suit is a bit confusing due to the
fact that tailors such as Savile Row manufactured garments for military
personnel and professionals. In conclusion, nowadays men just cannot do
without their elegant tuxedos and next time maybe they will remember how
business suits have come to be so formal.
