For your consideration: the Denim Suit



I've always been a big fan of classic gentlemen's clothing. Certain styles of dress are - I believe - simply routed in the belief that a gentleman's attire should work to make his figure look the best way possible and show his respect for those around him, and
(what would now be described as) the classical men's suit, does just this.

That given, the definition of this men's suit can be seen in a very broad way, with nearly limitless options for personalisations in terms of fabric, details, etc..

Personally, I'm inclined to suits, and jackets, and clothing inspired by tradition, but one of the reasons I like them is their function, and functionality. However, I am not always in the office, out for dinner in fancy restaurants, or chairing a General Assembly, and young bird as I may be, I like to be able to live my clothes hard every now and then without loosing the sense of style and personality I enjoy in my clothing.

Therefore, I would like to suggest the Denim suit, in a classy dark blue. Sturdy and practical, yet flattering of the masculine shape and a wink to tradition. When paired with a smooth shirt and perhaps a knit tie or elegant pocket square, one looks urban, yet classy. Sporty, but elegant. And of course, the pieces could also be worn separately perfectly fine. (Who would object to a well-made pair of denims?)

Where Tweed might sometimes be too warm or (surprisingly) too flashy, the Denim suit can make for the perfect casual stylish suit in the city whenever a bit more ruggedness is needed or wanted (at least in appearance). It also serves as a transitional piece from jeans to more formal wear.

Really, it's all in the make. Therefore, for your consideration: the Denim Suit.
