The Suit Is Dead. Modern Men Wear This

[@gentlemaninjapan1994]

Great videos guys, I always find the chemistry between you two so refreshing. Here in japan polyester suits or "set ups" are the mainstay here. I personally wear a plethora of materials but always a suit. The suit isnt dead here in japan luckily

You just sound like you lack self-awareness. You wouldn't turn up in black tie to a 'smart casual' event unless you're trying to state that you either can't follow basic instructions, or you think that social custom and convention don't apply to you.

would you wear a suit to the beach? how about a baby shower? you can be overdressed if it is not appropriate for the event. a suit is not appropriate for an occasion which it does not call for...like a casual lunch.

The working from home (WFH) culture that came about as a result of the pandemic lockdowns (here in the UK) hasn't done the traditional men's suit any favours . Dress codes generally are a lot more casual, and becoming more so, but I still view a smart two-piece or three-piece suit as the top of the sartorial tree. The fact that it can be made from so many different types of fabric just adds to its kudos. Whenever I wear a business suit it is always to look my very best. It is also a mark of respect to those I will be meeting and working with. When I look the part, I feel the part, and that boosts my confidence to act the part. As we rapidly approach the nadir of dress codes, the right men will seize the initiative to look different by dressing ever smarter. The suit is NOT dead.

[@RampleyandCo]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Whatever you wear it does say something about you, and confidence is always key!

[@freddecker2407]

Little things Modoo says reveal his hipness. "Wearing a suit open necked (without a tie) is a difficult look to carry off." He's right about that. There is a formality associated with a suit that naturally clashes with the informality of an open necked shirt collar. Everything Modoo says is worth listening to.

Fascinating segment and very enjoyable. Austin and Chris make a great team here. There’s a lot to unpack in this discussion. Myriad factors are at play in today’s “business” climate which of course impacts dress. I add demographics, cultures, regionalism, remote work, professions and personal tastes to the equation because there is no simple proof to, “Is the suit dead.” No, it’s not but the workforce has changed. Millennials (US) are not the Boomers, which took its original style habits from the Greatest Generation (1920 births) but went agog at British 60s fashions, then off the grid with the florals and wide lapels and wide pants of the 70s and eventually ushered in the late 80’s (dreadful) “casual Fridays” and “jeans day.” My dress habits in NYC were far different than today I n Florida, which is essentially a wasteland for sartorial standards. Open shirts, no jackets at formal weddings and casual wear at funerals? Oy and ugh. Lastly, the demise of department store shopping and regional retail powerhouses has limited both access to and influence by sharp menswear departments. This includes the professionals who would measure you, assist in color coordination and advise on the very best fabrics - Mostly wool! Always wool except the occasional linen or cotton summer suits, never worn after Labor Day! Personally, I love wearing a sharp suit with Rampley pocket square and enjoy sport jackets and open neck shirts as desired. In either case, I can be comfortable, myself, and make a statement if desired. I recall a quote attributed to Frank Sinatra, who reportedly wore only black tie after 6 p.m.; “Always dress as if you have someplace better to go.”

[@RampleyandCo]

Thanks for the very thoughtful comment. The most important point you touched on was, that you are comfortable and yourself in what you wear, and can dress up or down to make a statement if desired. That's the sign of a confident dresser!

I like separates but I think the look doesn’t go well with a tie. It looks odd. Suit will always be king for a courtroom or funeral

[@chrismodoo6563]

[@teekue]

Depends on how what your seperates look like. Navy blazer with grey flannel trousers? Clasic tie ensemble. Low waist chino and hopsack sports jacket? Probably not a good idea.

[@teekue]

On a side note: I think blazers should be the same length as suit jackets. So not like on the left where the green blazer is definitely too short. Apart from that you have a lot of good thoughts.

[@chrismodoo6563]

I like a slightly shorter sports jacket or blazer if the model is natural shouldered/unstructured. I will watch video closely and look for the green blazer you mention.

[@zorankojcic]

Another really good video, and a lot of things said with which I agree. I own only one suit, all the rest are separates, with more than 10 sport coats. I find it both more fun (especially with bolder ones) and more versatile to combine separates in more or less formal ways and for more or less formal occasions. We do live in a very casual age, where in all our individuality people mostly look the same - so please do outdress your bosses! Show them how it's done! Be you! It's clothes, have fun! :)

[@adamm2851]

💯 I've got 3 suits for business and about 40 blazer/sports coats for casual events and nights out

[@RampleyandCo]

Thanks, and yes that was the main takeaway from the video, the suit is not the mainstay it once was (particularly in the corporate world), but many people still love to wear a suit. Separates give you more variation in the looks you can achieve, but it's all down to personal choice!

[@ricksandstorm]

Apart from some lawyer firms and real estate agencies, funerals are the only places where I see more people in suits than separates in my home town. It gets slighly more common in the capital but a separate is usually considered ore appropriate.

[@RampleyandCo]

Interesting observation! In different places, the choice between suits and separates can vary. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

[@DavidJAFoster]

This is actually how I dress nowadays - since COVID, dress codes have gone way down in formality. Even though I like to be more dressed up than the people around me, a sport jacket or blazer with odd trousers is less ostentatious. Also, I have machine washable trousers so I only have to dry clean the jackets which saves some money.

[@RampleyandCo]

Thanks for the comment, and yes as the guys were saying, separates or even more casual outfits are pretty common in the workplace these days.

[@CosmicPipe]

8:38, many Cities on the US west coast are in a sartorial dark ages. The population seems largely void of any knowledge about dress code and formality. Based on their clothes, most men appear totally lost in all settings. Ultra-casual clothing like T-shirt and sweats are seen at traditionally formal events. Its not a fashion statement. They don't know any better. The informal lounge suit is rare, replaced at best by casual separates, which is thought of as dressed up and business formal. They've fallen off the bottom rung of the formality ladder. I look at pictures of the early 20th century and I'm amazed at the peoples apparel. How and why did we devolve from that? As a society we have devalued our appearance.

Nice conversation regarding modern professional wear. I have found myself picking three suits and three jacket/trouser combinations with two different casual style outfits for my monthly wardrobe. Monday and Wednesdays I wear suits, Tuesdays and Thursdays I wear a jacket/trouser combo, Friday is a more casual outfit (though still professional). This has been working for me as I enjoy wearing a suit, but I also enjoy wear a jacket/trouser combination. It also allows me to have a capsule wardrobe for a month and enjoy those cloths. I can then move on to a “new” wardrobe the next month and enjoy wearing those cloths. What do you guys think? I usually do not break up the suits, but hearing that part of the conversation has me considering it.

French cuffs can be included in the conversation if you please, but really I was hoping you could touch on colours and textures, warm and cool tones, light, mid and dark tones of shirting, and how different ties play off them as well as the rest of the outfit.

As is par for these Rampley & Co videos, I enjoyed this one too. I did not feel the tone of this conversation was to disparage the suit as much as it was an observation of its disappearance. I flew to NY, from New Orleans, a day or so ago. I was one of a select few not just wearing a suit, but wearing a coat or sports jacket. Flying was once a sartorial affair, especially for those in First Class. I still wear suits, but am in the severest minority. On another subject, am I the only one suffering from finding a good tailor for adjustments and fittings. It’s so difficult to find a good tailor. How “tailored” can one expect a jacket from Rampley and Co to be upon arrival to the US? Without access to a good tailor, I hesitate to order a jacket.

[@gerardanthony9834]

Ahhh, a good tailor! In Florida, yes, I’ve found it very difficult to source a good one. Some trial and error as formal (suit, bespoke) menswear become less the “norm.” I now have an alterations shop do my tailoring including taking in or adjusting wool slacks, creating turn-ups, fitting my suits the right way; i.e. under the arms or shoulders without the standard “close the back seam” which only makes a jacket tighter. Because I wear a “long”, working cuffs are another issue as some jackets I like only come in regular.

Separates to me, are a business casual outfit, and have become the standard in most office environments or times where you want to "dress up" without going over the top. This used to be the realm of the lounge suit, I wonder if in the years to come we will see increasing casualisation with the jacket being dropped altogether and a polo, henley or knitwear is sufficient for most people.

Thank you for your question. I think we covered these points in the video.

[@chrisburnett9618]

What wearing a suit does for a man is help him stand out from the sartorially unwashed masses. The way to make a suit less-formal is through careful selection of its cloth, color and pattern. Linen is a great way to still look dapper with a full-suit but with a more casual look. Cotton and seersucker also can fit this bill. If you want to go for wool, then wearing lighter colors allows one to embrace the symmetry and elegance of a full suit while at the same time dressing appropriately for a more casual occasion. Something else to keep in mind is that if you are a shorter man then wearing separates is going to accentuate that by cutting you in half. Yes, there are certain times when wearing separates can work but overall a man will look far more dapper and elegant if he wears a proper suit with the correct style, cloth, color and pattern.

A life of plenty without grace and humbleness and care for the needs of your less fortunate fellow man is not worth living. Always target to become a harmonious rennessance men. Fassion of good taste will fall in place as natural and wellcoming as rain on a torrid day. We are what we chose to be. The true valuable men would always work on developing themselves from inside out. A suit is just your armor. Make sire does not cover an empty shell.

A watch is not to be warned if you use a double calf shirt. Even worse when porting a watch with metalic band vey low on your wrist just to show it off as is the case of the gentlemen in the blue jacket. Are you american sir? Lol
