From Spike Lee’s pink suit at Cannes, to the plethora of rainbow suits at the NBA draft, celebs are suddenly obsessed with wearing colorful tailoring
about colored suiting for men. “Tailoring in strong colors once reserved for graphic T-shirts makes a full-throated declaration that this is not your father’s gray flannel suit,” I wrote, noting that readers could buy a tomato-red suit from Berluti or a lime-green one by Jacquemus.
In my defense, few of us knew how catastrophic the pandemic would be when I pitched the story but, by the time it was published on March 18, many readers were isolating at home in sweats. The article is now a relic of an unsteady moment. At the last minute, my editors and I attempted to make it relevant with the headline: “Skype Brilliantly in These Optimistically Hued Suits.” This was before Zoom would supplant Skype as Americans’ go-to for lockdown video-calls.
Suffice to say, most of us did not log onto our 2020 video meetings in resplendently colorful suits. Formal-leaning fashion trends took a backseat to comforting sweats and routine Zoom shirts as we slogged through WFH routines.
For those who will never grace the cover of a fashion magazine, a jolting suit shakes off the style paralysis of the past 16 months., a tailor in New York, said that his corporate clients are open to “something different, something louder,” after a “gloomy” year. Mr. Musika noted that each time cases dropped and the world seemed to be crawling back to “normal,” he’d see a surge in clients coming in for pick-me-up suits in sprightly colors.
Consider as well the kaleidoscopic suits celebrities have worn in the past month or so. In early July, Colman Domingo took to the red carpet at the premiere of “Zola” in a shiny Big-Bird-yellow Dolce & Gabbana suit.
