Men's Suit – How It Began

Suits are considered to be the most elegant attire for men. But did you know how these pieces of clothing started?

In the late 1660's
King Charles II ordained that when in an assembly, all men should be dressed in long coats or a jacket. From then on, this became a typical wear among men. Whenever they attend social gatherings, business conference, church event, etc. they had to abide by the dress code.
 
Men’s suit became increasingly popular as time progressed. Even those considered less affluent in the society keep one or two suits to wear on important occasions.

By the 20th century
Men’s suits were more standardized. This is because of the launching of a ready-to-wear manufacturing industry. Since then, the production of suits became an integral part of the men's clothing industry. And for many different occasions, men were expected to appear only in suits. You are considered half-dressed if you are not dressed in full suit.

Today
The fashion industry has several suit makers in fierce competition. When shopping for suits, you can never go wrong if you are equipped with the right knowledge about them. You have to make sure that the style, design, colour and fabric are appropriate for the occasion. For men's wedding suits, you should not sacrifice style, fit, or fabric tailoring. Spend your wedding day in an uncomfortable suit or shirt is a big NO. So pick a suit perfect to your body measurement.
