THAT FILTHY FLEECE AND PUT ON THIS SUIT

-

They say that if you love something, you should let it go, and over the past year, nothing has stolen our hearts so completely as loungewear. Jersey has been our rock, fleece our lodestar, drawstring­s the very twine that held our lives together. But it’s time to move on. Much as we’d like them to be, jogging bottoms are not appropriat­e attire for life (they’re barely appropriat­e for jogging, to be honest), and anyway, this is the summer of getting dressed.

So, has sir considered a suit? This being the men’s fashion industry, there are many to choose from, but the best of the latest crop really turn up the histrionic­s. Sharp shoulders, vast lapels, eyepopping colours and trousers that billow as you move. It’s post-pandemic tailoring, diametrica­lly opposed to loungewear, and we heartily recommend you give it a go. This Louis Vuitton number is a little bit new wave, a little bit Bond villain, a little bit Thin-White-Duke-era Bowie — and exactly the sort of thing we should be reaching for to celebrate our sartorial emancipati­on.
