How did the suit \u2013 once the preserve of noblemen \u2013 become an affordable item?<\/p>

At the end of the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century, men\u2019s formalwear was an exclusively upper class affair. Called white tie, it consisted of a black tailcoat, a marcella waistcoat with high-waisted pants.<\/p>

White tie was completely unsuited for the demands of the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century. So, inventive British tailors found an answer. They combined elements of the military uniforms used by European cavalrymen with white tie outfits to create the modern suit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The lounge suit was an immediate hit. For upper-class gents, it provided a casual and more comfortable alternative to the formalwear they were used to. And for some aspiring members of the British middle class, it provided a practical way to look smart in the office.<\/p>

However, it was not until the suit became a hit in the world of music, film and television that affordable suits became must-have items for everybody.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The suit had not been around for long before keen-eyed fashionistas found a place for it in popular culture. In 1940s\u2019 America, the zoot suit \u2013 wide-legged and long-jacketed \u2013 was all the rage for jazz fans and performers alike.<\/p>

In fact, the 1942 song \u201cA Zoot Suit (For My Sunday Gal),\u201d a musical celebration of the suit, became a chart hit for the likes of the Andrews Sisters, Kay Kyser and Benny Goodman.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In postwar Britain, the suit was at the forefront of dozens of fashion and cultural movements, particularly in the world of music.<\/p>

First came the Teddy Boys, who attempted to recreate Edwardian suit styles for the rock\u2019n\u2019roll era. They matched the suit with velvet collar trims, pocket flaps and bolo ties, as well as footwear like suede shoes or shiny Oxford brogues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Teddy Boys were an influence on British\u00a0mod culture<\/a>, which came to being in the 1960s-1970s. Mods would never be seen outdoors without a sharp suit, usually matched with a pencil-thin necktie. Mod rock artists like the Jam won over yet more converts to the suit, as did landmark movie Quadrophenia.<\/p>

In the 1980s, the ska movement became quite popular. This music and fashion movement blended Caribbean and Western influences. But even though the music was very different, incorporating elements of reggae and rock, the suit was once again the true star of the show.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Suit experts recognize the significance of British and American suits, which both have different cuts and date back over a century. The slim-cut, sleek-look Italian suit arrived much later, but has arguably had just as big of an impact on affordable suit fashion.<\/p>

Italian suits soon found a place in popular culture. Gregory Peck famously wore an Italian suit in the 1953 film Roman Holiday. In the eighties, TV show Miami Vice star Don Johnson put Italian cuts firmly onto the fashion map.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After the suit business\u2019 1980s heyday, men\u2019s fashion hit a long period of stagnation, leading some modern customers to complain about the lack of good-quality, affordable suits these days.<\/p>

Suitsupply, which ranked Number 1 in the\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u2019s \u201chard working suit\u201d<\/a>\u00a0list, is set to change that. Along with Samsung C&T, the brand is on a quest to make the suit cool again, without leaving customers out of pocket.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although Suitsupply\u2019s suits are reasonably priced, they are made of 100 percent Italian material. They provide a range of style, fabric and color options for men in their 30s-40s. And thanks to Samsung C&T\u2019s Fashion Group, as of Spring\/Summer 2017, they will also be available in Korea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Debby Dongwoon Kim, Director of Samsung C&T Fashion Group\u2019s Overseas Merchandising Division, explains, \u201cSuitsupply represents the future of the contemporary menswear market, with cost-effective, high-quality items. It\u2019s going to cause a stir on the menswear scene.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Women agree \u2013\u00a0polls have found that 33 percent<\/a>\u00a0of them wish men wore suits all the time. Recruiters also think a suit could help you land a top job. Most\u00a0senior executives conducting interviews<\/a>\u00a0say that male candidates who come to interviews in smart suits are more likely to give a good impression.<\/p>

From jazz-cat cool to rock chic and film-inspired fashion, time has proven that sharp suits will never go out of style.
