Suits

I promised something less depressing and I shall deliver. It is high time I salvage myself and make an escape from that depressing rut. I want to heal! Thus I shall.

Suits. I have been wanting to do a post on this for eons. But my mind has been constantly corrupted with ill feelings and disappointments for the past few months. 

There I was, in my casual and comfy, flight worthy plain tee with a cardigan and jeans, waiting for the Heathrow Inter-terminal Express train, transferring from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4; partially day dreaming and reading my trusty novel. The train to Terminal 4 was in 15 minutes. I withdrew myself from my novel and threw my gaze into space. Travelers on business, leisure walked past me and parents with their children heading for summer holidays trotted by. The train heading for Terminal 3 arrived. Passengers got on and off the platform, and there it caught my attention; most men are in suits.

Dressed in their Armanis, Pradas, Zegnas or Marks and Sparks, they were all suited up. Fine pin stripes to dark single shades. All perfectly matched their crisply clean white dress shirts and immaculately shined leather shoes. Regardless of whatever hairstyle they donned; short and neat, carefully messed hair or perfectly coiffed, they all had one thing in common; they looked exquisite.

What is it that makes a man look so good in suits? There is just something sexy about it. Even 007 got away with a license to kill in them; killing all the ladies. You can appropriately wear it to a business meeting, wedding invitation or funeral procession.  Take the tie off and pair it with a pair of jeans and you are ready for a night out in town. If you feel a lil adventurous and chic, equip yourself with the more casual brother of the suit; the blazer and you are ready for a weekend at the Hamptons or just downtown.

Not everyone could pull off a suit. Fashion these days has convinced metrosexual men/ men with taste/ vain men/ men who takes care of their appearances / gay men, that suits should fit you like a glove. Gone are the days where suits make you look like a wannabe quarterback on field with gigantic shoulder paddings. Suits these days are meant to make you look sleek and fresh of the runway.

No one wears them better than the King of suits himself; Tom Ford. Tom Ford is one perfect example of a man  who revolutionized the way men wear suits. He dons a suit everywhere he goes; promotional appearances, interviews, luncheons, parties, even when he is busy directing a movie!

Tom Ford substituting a tie with scarf, toning down the formality.

3 piece suits look amazing these days.

I'm no big fan of Brad Pitt, in fact i hate his infidelities; but i have to admit he looks good in a 3 piece. The guy knows how to dress it up.

Tom Ford's latest collection. Velvet, plaids, wool. All looking fineee.

Josh Duhamel and Shia Le Bouff gracing the premier of Transformers; suited up.

I don't like Double breasted suits, but John Cho rocked this.

One day in the future, I will be that man who is all donned up in that immaculately tailored suit, fitted with a crisply white shirt, paired with my perfectly shined leather shoes, living a life a corporateer.
