There was a time when fashion was
only considered for women but somewhere around 17th century men were
also included in this category.
Initially, these were considered as the ‘peacocks of fashion’ under which
males wore highly decorative breeches that were covered with bows and lace made
from finest satin and silk. These were supposed to be impeccably neat carved
from white linen shirts and very lavish cravats. These were covered by
overcoats known as justaucorps which were embellished with lavish buttons and a
gold braid which stretched from chin till knee.
This kind of taste was considered
as epitome of fine taste, however, after the French Revolution there came a drastic
change in the taste. This was replaced by starkness, simplicity, and
refinement. The same trend is still leading the fashion lines but the length
has gone down and the pants have been replaced by Chubbies shorts sale, men’s
swim trunks, as well as men’s embroidered belt.
But a few years back, it was the quality of well-tailored suits carved from
finest cloth became the prerequisite of position determination in society. The
tales of dandy, Beau Brummel, established the benchmark of restraint and
cleanliness in male attires. The man was credited with establishing and
introducing the beginning of modern men’s clothing suits.
In year 1818, it was Harry Sands
Brooks formed Brooks Brothers which is one of the first retailers in America.
The company has been known for supplying US military uniforms for more than 100
years. The brand is known for bringing-in some of the biggest innovations line
seersucker suits, button down collar shorts for polo matches, polyester shirts,
Shetland wool sweaters, and beachwear’s made from Madras plaid. The company was
successful in attracting great business from celebrities such as Rolling Stones
and several other pop stars. In year 1988, it was brought by London’s Marks and
Spencer.
Post the Second World War,
America influenced the whole world with readymade clothing trend. Several
designers like Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren became the biggest men’s casual
clothing stylist. There were several others in rest parts of the world like
Giorgio Armani who came up with line of easy fitting clothes and thus loose
clothes became the language of new fashion. Even some Japanese designers like
Rei and Yamamoto were successful in creating new ripples across the market on
account of their new styles. This is a brief history of men’s fashion clothing
which is now one of the biggest and most successful trends in the whole world.
