Everything’s slimming down – here are the specifics.
The first looks sent down the Milanese runways showed designers experimenting with volume: trousers are getting wider and fuller and outerwear seems to billow out from the body. Yet even Giorgio Armani’s relaxed silhouettes maintained a trimmer overall form. It looks like slim-fit suits will be with the U.S. tailored clothing market for a while. Yet the “gorilla in the room” rests not with how the young tailored clothing customer is reacting (they love it), but how to address the needs of the larger, often mature, American male who want to wear the updated silhouette.
