We all know that all suits are not created equal. There are different qualities and price points as well as style. We also know that there are some suits that you just don't wear to work. I'm talking about an office environment full of politics and business. I'm talking about Mens Fashion Suits. Mens fashion suits are usually high fashion suits that sit at the top of the style food chain. You usually see men wearing them in Cities and down South as well. They are suits that don't fly by general convention. The jackets may be longer in length than a basic suit, emulating a Zoot Suit. You may see a fashion suit in a color that you would never see a business suit made. Something bold and bright like Red or Royal Blue. There really aren't any restraints when it comes to the styles of Mens Fashion Suits. The suits only stay in style for about a year and after that they are out of style. That is big difference compares to regular style Men Suits because those you can usually wear for 5 to 7 years before they start to look dated. Mens fashion suits usually have new styles twice a year. For the Spring and for the Fall. You will see different styles come out with new fancy trim or contrasting colors. You may see the suits have new fashion colors that weren't being made before or a new fashion pattern that becomes the New It Suit. That is what makes fashion suits so much different than a business suit stuck in Navy and Gray. This year a hounds tooth pattern may be the huge new style and next suit season it's plaid of some sort. You may see shiny metallic sharkskin as the new fashion suit fabric and being available in different colors and styles and then the next year they are gone. That is how the Mens Fashion Suit world works. Nothing ever stays the same except change and by change, I mean the styles, colors and patterns of the suits.
Last year you started to see fashion suits with wide lapels on whole number of styles of suits. The lapels had a distinctly rounded shape to them instead of just a straight wide lapel. The length of jacket also changes every year in mens fashion suits. This year 33-34 length suit jackets are fashion length while longer jackets of the 37-38 inches long were from 4 years ago. They change almost like ladies hemlines on their skirts. The number of buttons on fashion suits also can change. 5-7 buttons were very big a few years ago but now you can hardly find them. This particular season you'll see generally 3-4 buttons on the suit jacket. So if you're of the bold personality persuasion and appreciate the attention you get from the clothes you wear, Mens fashion suits are just the style you need in your wardrobe to take it to the next level.

Zoot Suits
In the world of suits, there are suits for business, suits for special occasions,suits for funerals and suits for letting your hair down fun. For having fun with no consideration for the serious, that is where Zoot Suits come into mind. You see, the zoot suit was originally a statement against society and wanting to do your own thing. Zoot suits were a counter culture statement long before of the counter culture that we're familiar with from the late 1960s. Now zoot suits are simply something fun to wear to theme parties and swing dance parties as well. Having fun has long been known for alleviating stress and wearing a zoot suit and prancing around will be extremely fun indeed. Since wearing a zoot suit these days is not for the serious, you can have fun with the color coordination as well. you can wear bright colors or just stick to black and white.

Slim Fit Suits
Since President Obama has been in the White House a trend in mens suits seem to have followed him. A suit that is tailored to right to the torso. I'm talking about Slim Fit Suits. Slim Fit Suits are what you get when you take your basic 2 button single breasted suit and trim away all and I mean all of the extra material that may actually drape on the wearer. Slim Fit suits have jackets that are made to fit the wearer like a glove. Like the suit was actually made for their body. It is a tighter fitting suit in all aspects including the slim fit pants that are generally flat front and lower rise in the waist. Slim Fit suits are primarily for the younger fit man who doesn't have the excess baggage that a traditional fit suit will have. If you are not skinny or slim in stature, slim fit suits are not what you can wear without people snickering behind your back. It's no different than if an overweight lady tries wearing something that was obviously designed for the skinny woman. Slim fit suits come with fabrics that are either your convention looking pinstripe or solid suit fabrics or the very popular metallic sharkskin fabrics that gleem like you're covered in metal. If you're in decent shape and want to wear the new popular slim fit suit, give it a try.

Bass Shoes
Wearing traditional styled attire is not as uncommon as you think and in many social circles, it's the only thing that is worn by people. Shoes are also part of the style or anti fashion package, those need to be dealt with as well. One company that focuses on nothing but traditional styled footwear is Bass Shoes. Bass Shoes as anyone who hasn't slept in the woods in a cave are the brand shoe that makes the iconic Bass Weejuns Penny loafers. The penny loafers are only a part of the overall product line that Bass Shoes produces. They also make virtually most of the preppy styled shoes that are available like suede oxford shoes with the red rubber bottoms and also different types of traditional style dress shoes for men like wingtips and captoe shoes. For ladies they make the weejuns and suede oxford shoes as well but Bass Shoes has a little more fun with women's shoes because they take some iconic styles and put a modern twist on them. They make some saddle oxford shoes that look like they morphed into a high heel shoe or they have fun fashion colors of the different oxford shoes with all kinds of color varieties. One of the things that makes Bass Shoes a great brand is that they are able to provide a quality made shoe and balance it with a reasonable price. Most of their shoes are way under a hundred dollars and hover around $70. That is right in the sweet spot of the shoe world. So if you favor traditional style shoes and haven't taken a look at Bass Shoes, then I think it is time to do so.
