More Suits Headed to New York
Posted September 23rd, 2008 by Jackie Thomas
With Wall Street in unprecedented territory, nothing is certain. When people get scared, we like to revert back to the familiar – whether it’s an ex-girlfriend, your mother’s mac and cheese, or that darned security blanket. Fashion is no exception. With financial disasters abounding, formal affairs are becoming more refined and dignified than ever. Gone are the daringly dramatic coats or contemporary tie contrasts; in are established classics such as the black tie, top coat, and high-cut pants. People want security, and who better to give it to them than a man in a suit?
Though the runways have already taken heed, New York City is next to get hit by the serious stick. Expect to see a lot more suits on the subway, and plan on seeing this trend sweep to the other coasts as well. European influences are also standard favorites that will be dominating this season. Hopefully, the sense of strength in fashion will play a role in stabilizing the economy, too!
