On Friday 22nd March, I was fortunate enough to attend the summer Bristol Fashion Week as a blogger.
For tailoring, there was a considerable variety in details but no major style changes. Nonetheless, here is what is fashionable in the realm of high street suits for the summer.
In terms of colour, monochrome is in vogue for both men and women's fashion. Pastels are not uncommon for blazers and some suits even had bold shades such as deep reds and light blues. It was surprising not to see light grey for summer tailoring.
The things that I can surmise about the details of suit jackets:
Overall jacket length is still quite short.
Single vents are growing in popularity, despite their impracticality for putting hands into pockets, yet double vents are still common.
Most jackets have two buttons, three can be found on blazers but the fastening one is still quite high on the waist.
Narrow lapels are still fashionable; hand-stitching details can be found on more "off the peg" suits.
Pocket styles are rather varied, some jackets had slanted flapped ones while others were besom and the occasional ticket pocket can be found on more traditional high street retailers. Patch pockets could be found on blazers.
The things I can surmise about suit trousers:
Low rises that are similar to jeans and chinos.
Fitted rather than slim cuts.
No or very little break; some trousers barely touched the shoe.
Other:
Waistcoats were quite short in length
Cummerbunds are still fashionable for Black Tie.
