Tailoring Trends: Latest in Men’s Suit Fashion 2024

A couple of years ago, what it meant to be in suiting was wearing a matching set of blazers and trousers along with a contrasting shirt and a tie. In fact, we can see only minimal changes in suit tailoring and most fundamentals have remained the same since the 1800s. 

But now, after the pandemic (new normal) WFH days, the designers seem to be highly influenced by the new ideas, colors, fabrics, textures, and suit styles. Thus paving the way for a fundamental transition in suit tailoring in the recent past. Curated in this blog post are some major and distinguished men’s suit tailoring trends for the year 2024. 

Men’s Suit Tailoring Trends for 2024

  1. Relaxed workwear blazers
  2. Oversized or loose suits
  3. Suits with sneakers 
  4. Drawstring trousers 
  5. Classic mismatches 

Relaxed workwear blazers

Thanks to the work-from-home opportunity for professionals during the pandemic. Certainly, this has transformed the way people look at formal suits or workwear suits. Designers began tailoring relaxed office wear suits that still looked formal and professional. These are easy-to-wear, slightly loose, blazer-like jackets with big pockets worn with matching trousers and a shirt. A tie is absolutely an option now.  

Oversized or loose suits

Though oversized tailoring was introduced in the late 1900s, this style got attention only this year. People began accepting these loose suits as street or casual wear. Even double-breasted oversized suits look fashionable these days. You can wear these suits with T-shirts or hoodies. Accordingly, the trousers are also pleated to make them baggy and balanced with the loose suits. Sneakers are the right choice of shoes for this type of new tailoring.

Suits with sneakers 

This new suit style is gaining momentum among working men. The reasons are simple—comfortable to wear, posh to look at, and minimal with the design. The tailoring details include the right fit (neither slim nor oversized), pants hemmed slightly above, and using breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. The purpose of shortening the pant’s height is to highlight the white sneakers. Wear this smart casual to various occasions, like parties, wedding receptions, and dinner gatherings. 

Drawstring trousers 

The most fundamental tailoring aspect of trousers in a suit is their fixed waistband. Imagine what we can get out of altering this small detail—from fixed to elastic waistbands. Though not transformational when someone looks at you, it does more in terms of comfort and feel for the wearer. As these trousers can be tucked in, the overall look remains formal when worn with shirts and blazers.    

Classic mismatches 

Lately, people prefer playing with different style elements to look unique. Be it the choice of fabric, the tailoring style, the color matches, or the combination of accessories, people like trying something different. Among these, color-mismatch suits are trending this year. Matching a customized formal blazer with contrasting (not matching) trousers is what grabs people’s attention.
