Maybe it doesn't any more. Sales of formal tailoring have taken a fresh dive as chinos and trainers replace suits and ties in the office.In a presentation to City analysts,Marks & Spencer,the UK's biggest menswear retailer,said it was cutting back its formalwear ranges and the space devoted to selling suits, pointing to a market-wide 7% fall in suit sales. “It's a generational trend,"says Chloe Collins,an analyst at GlobalData.“
Offices tend to have more relaxed attire and in general men have got more options.They want to be more fashionable and have the opportunity to update their look which you can do more with casual wear." She says younger men are more interested in fashion and more confident about choosing outfits,so less reliant on the safe uniform of a suit for work or occasions. Retailers such as Asos and other young fashion stores are also helping men put together more interesting formalwear outfits. Tighter budgets are also putting a squeeze on the suit.“Consumers want to get more usage out of their clothes,"says Glen Tooke,consumer insight director at Kantar.He says men might buy a blazer, some smart shirts and a pair of tailored trousers and then combine them with jeans or knitwear to give a variety of looks suitable for both home and office.“You no longer need two wardrobes," Tooke adds. “There are things it's still deemed you need to wear a suit for,but those events are becoming fewer and farther between," says Tooke.But Eric Musgrave,author of Sharp Suits:a celebration of men's tailoring says the suit still has a place-as signified by the all-prevailing presence of suits in politics and when world leaders meet. "The suit is still a signal you are respectable and powerful.
It is the uniform of people who run the world." Thanks to wannabe world leaders, and many others who want to look smart, the UK suit market is still worth nearly 400m a year while sales of smart shirts and trousers are still on the rise. Brian Brick, chief executive of Moss Bros, says the chain's suit sales are up this year despite the overall fall in the market, with younger people still paying top dollar for a special suit for a special occasion.It's the everyday suit that is in decline.When they do buy for a big day,Brick says they are being more adventurous looking for tweed or other interesting fabrics or a light coloured suit for a wedding. Teo van den Broeke,style and grooming director of menswear magazine British GQ,thinks suits are far from dead- - -and might even be about to make a comeback, pointing to the menswear catwalks at Balenciaga and Gucci and the fashion choices of young actors such as Timothee Chalamet and influential older men such as David Beckham.“There is something to be said for a man in tailoring. It is much better on a date or a job interview than a track suit.No man over 18 looks good in that at any time.
