Additionally, they can be seen on famous global celebrities on social media and, of course, in everyday life on the street. Below are the most iconic clothing items in men’s fashion.

The tracksuit

In the ’60s, the tracksuit was introduced in the fashion world and quickly became a sensation in the fashion industry. This streetwear clothing has nowadays become more mainstream and is no longer exclusively worn as sportswear but mixed and matched with various styles. The tracksuits owe their popularity to hip-hop and football because well-known global celebrities started wearing them.

The power of a good suit has been a symbol of success and confidence since the 17th century. Over the years, the suit has undergone various styles and transformations but has never lost its character. Nowadays, you can even wear a suit casually with a t-shirt and a pair of good sneakers. Men’s suits are available in different colors and patterns. Dark blue is timeless and always a safe choice. Want something different? Opt for a men’s suit with a check or stripe pattern.

BomberjackDonker blauw bomberjack

The bomber jacket is a fashion item that is indispensable in the world of fashion. The jacket is an iconic trend that regularly resurfaces and is once again an essential piece of clothing this year that you can’t ignore. The bomber jacket was developed at the beginning of the last century for pilots in the US Air Force and Navy. At that time, this jacket had an orange lining and was only available in black or dark green. Bomber jackets were also very popular among young people during the gabber era. Nowadays, the bomber jacket is available in all kinds of colors for every season and is worn by young and old alike. In addition to being extremely functional, the jacket also looks very stylish.

The trenchcoatTrenchcoat

The trench coat was worn by British officers during World War II. The original model was called the Tielocken and was designed to protect military personnel from harsh weather conditions. Later, the coat was adapted for the general public. Every year, we see the trench coat make a comeback in stores, and this is also the case at Suitable. The coat is a true classic, but when and how should you best wear it?

A trench coat is often seen as the ideal transitional jacket, but in reality, you can wear it throughout the year because it is rain-resistant and super stylish, making the possibilities for combining it endless. For the ultimate business look, combine a trench coat with slacks, a dress shirt, a pullover, and smart men’s shoes.

Denim Jacket Denim Levis Jack

Levi’s is synonymous with jeans. That’s why they are also the best when it comes to denim jackets. A denim jacket is a must-have in a man’s wardrobe. The versatility of this item makes it a piece of clothing that you can wear in various ways. It can serve as a jacket on warmer days or be worn as an underlayer during the cold months of winter. However, consider the fit; there are different styles in which you can wear this item. You can choose to wear a jacket oversized, skinny, or in a regular fit, creating a specific look. If you want a denim jacket that is timeless and not trend-sensitive, then a regular fit is always a good choice, as it is suitable for all ages.

The men’s shoes

A shoe makes the man, and this applies to formal men’s shoes as well. Nowadays, formal shoes come in various colors and patterns. However, nothing beats a classic men’s shoe in black or brown. If you’re looking for a timeless classic, opt for men’s shoes with buckles. Determine what suits you best, a Single Monk or a Double Monk.

A tuxedoSmoking

A tuxedo is worn at a gala or at weddings with a black-tie theme. It is a two- or three-piece suit worn by men as evening wear. The general rule is that a tuxedo should not be worn before 6:00 PM.

A tuxedo consists of the following components:

  • A black trousers with a ‘bonafide braid’ (satin or velvet black stripe) on the side
  • A black jacket with lapels (lapels can be shawl collar or peaked lapels)
  • White tuxedoshirt (dress shirt)

The tuxedo made its ascent about a hundred years ago. Before that, a tuxedo was literally a smoking jacket that men would wear when they retreated to the smoking room after a dinner.

These fashion items continually withstand every storm. Fashion may pass, but style remains. These garments are anything but trend-sensitive and will last a lifetime.
