The 2020s are all about drape and how you can construct a shape, not reveal it. There is always going to be a generic cut of suite that changes slower for the person who wears suites a few times a year. But for more fashion oriented cuts, there has been a change for someone that wears them everyday.

- MarcelOlsz 2y agoTruly blows my mind anyone who doesn't embrace suiting up once in awhile. Must be a frustrating, passive, kinda sad way to live life. I suit up when I go to buy a $5 lotto ticket.
