"When was the day when I got so infatuated with the appearance of a two piece co-ord suit?", I thought silently to myself, in the middle of the night. Yes, it was slightly past midnight when I had a sudden surge of inspiration to talk about menswear. The question (as of above) behind suits struck me really hard, which left me pondering for almost a week (this is not exaggeration I'm totally serious).
The Ombré suit (here) was the first ever two-piece suit I purchased from ASOS a year back. At that time, I was struggling to save up for it while surviving on measly meals during breaks in school and gorging myself back at home during dinner time. In lessons, I would opt for scrolling through the pages of ASOS rather than giving my full attention. Yes, it might have taken a slight (haha, I'm still A for Asian) toll on my grades, but it was a well deserved sacrifice when I saw the Ombré suit under the Suits section. I shrieked, almost reaching a scream - yet it might've been a relatively silent scream - while I frantically displayed that magnificent fabrics to my adjacent friends.
I finally understood the definition of 'Love at First Sight'.
Thank god the teacher did not label me as 'Rebel'. And then the collection grew. It grew slowly, definitely not as impetuous as you guys might've thought it would. Scouting for the perfectly structured suit is like growing a tree. Not that the imagery might be of any help, but well, it takes time. Anyway, the collection further expanded (and slowly; I'm not even kidding it was going at a mundane pace) with a Floral suit (which happened to be still brand new in my closet as of date), a Denim suit and a Metallic Red. Despite the latter two being suits in the form of shorts instead of trousers, I still subsume them under the category of 'Suits'.
And men in suits? Gurlll please, we all know that they're the hottest creatures that are still striving on Earth (thankfully).
With Figure A, the oh-so-charming & getting ladies swoon in joy, David Gandy in a three-piece striped Navy suit, with a cutsey triangular pocket square giving a cheeky little peek. I can understand why most women (that includes me in my straight woman embodiment, hahaha) would be enraptured by him. I mean, how is it possible not to cook up some imagination of a chiseled body behind all those fabric? It's inevitable. The best part is, your imagination will definitely match up the real deal. And in Figure B, the perfect man in the perfect Cobalt Blue double breasted suit, with the inner shirt slightly unbuttoned to reveal some skin (mmm hmmm). If he's English or French, he'll be the ideal one, for me. xo xo.
"So since when was it mandatory to carry a pocket square in my blazer pocket? That's where my sunnies are going, and I'm going to loose some buttons and werk a scarf", says Figure C. An alternative, and also a dandy way to style your menswear.
But I think I'll go with a statement necklace as well. Talk about manrepelling.
