Layering for a professional suit look / Slojevito odijevanje za profesionalni poslovni izgled

If you want something to fit perfectly, paying a visit to seamstress might be a good idea. That is how I ended up with this lovely suit. Black suit is a good investment. Not only is it easy to dress it up or down, it is also something you can wear to just about any occasion. It works well in all seasons. When Winter comes, all you have to do is throw a coat over your suit and you're all set to go. When it gets cold, it doesn't hurt to layer one's outfit. I'm just saying:). 

“I don't believe in fashion. I believe in costume. Life is too short to be same person every day.”
Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door

Želite li da vam nešto savršeno pristaje, nije loša ideja posjetiti krojačicu. Tako sam došla do ovoga lijepoga odijela. Crno odijelo je dobra investicija. Ne samo da ga je lako prilagoditi ležernom i dotjeranom odijevanju, već je nešto što možete nositi u svakoj prilici. Dobro dođe u svakom godišnjem dobu. Kada zima stigne, sve što trebate je prebaciti kaput preko svoga odijela i spremni ste za pokret. Kada je hladno, nije loša ideja pouzdati se u slojevito odijevanje. Samo kažem:).

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
 Coco Chanel

“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
 Oscar Wilde

I did some research about suits. The answers to following questions are cited from Britannica, an online encyclopaedia. 

HOW DO WE DEFINE A SUIT? 

Suit, in dress design, matching set of clothes consisting, for example, of a coat, vest, and trousers. 

WHEN DID THE SHIFT IN WESTERN FORMAL ATTIRE START?

The shift in Western masculine attire from the doublet to the present-day suit began in the 1660s at the courts of Louis XIV of France and Charles II of England. The reformed style consisted of a long coat with wide, turned-back sleeves and a row of buttons down the front, some of which were left unbuttoned to reveal a vest (later called a waistcoat in England), an undergarment almost identical to the coat.

HOW DID THE  FIRM ESTABLISHED STYLE FOR MEN COME TO BE? 

At first the vest had long sleeves that showed below the turned-back sleeves of the coat and then the sleeves were dispensed with entirely. Neither coat nor vest had a collar or lapels. To complete the new mode, tight-fitting breeches were worn with stockings gartered below the knee. By 1670 this type of suit had become the firmly established style for men and was worn with no essential change until the end of the 18th century.

THE JOURNEY OF SUIT TROUGH REVOLUTIONS

From the time of the French Revolution until well into the 19th century, a man’s suit consisted of a short, fitted waistcoat (called a veston in France); below-knee-length breeches or long trousers; and a long outer coat. A top hat was worn with it. By the 1830s, breeches were worn as compulsory court attire and by the elderly and the unfashionable, and long trousers were worn by everyone else.

WHEN DID THE PROTOTYPE OF A MODERN SUIT APPEAR?

The prototype of the modern suit appeared in 1860 as the “lounge suit,” which was for informal wear and consisted of long trousers; a waistcoat, or vest (often elaborately decorated); and a short coat. The desire on the part of the middle class for gentlemanly clothes led to great conformity in men’s suits; since the 19th century men’s fashions have remained more or less static.

WHEN DID WOMEN'S TAILOR SUITS START TO TAKE OFF?

Women’s “tailor-made” suits became very popular in the second half of the 19th century for sport and traveling. When women began to work outside the home after the Civil War and even more so after World War I, they adopted this form of suit, which consisted of a matching skirt and jacket. In the second half of the 20th century, women began to wear matching jackets and trousers (pantsuits).

TIPS FOR WEARING & STYLING SUITS

Suits are actually quite easy to dress up and down. All you need to dress down a suit is a cute top and a pair of sneakers. Likewise, if you want to dress a suit up, all you need is a fancy clutch and a pair of fancy shoes. If you're going to own just one suit, I would suggest opting for a black one. However, a suit in bright colour is a lovely choice as well, especially if it is something you're comfortable wearing. A suit in bright pink can become your iconic piece, if bring pink is something you adore.

“He wore a tailor's masterpiece of obsidian fabric so expensive that it would've been personally offended to have been referred to as a 'black suit'. It was a really nice black suit.”
Mandy Ashcraft, Small Orange Fruit

“The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. 

But cosmetics are easier to buy.”
Yves Saint Laurent
