Cuts have changed a lot in the last 5 years due to a generational shift. Millennials are now coming into their prime as producers. The 2010s saw increasingly slim tailored cuts. The 2020s are all about drape and how you can construct a shape, not reveal it.

There is always going to be a generic cut of suite that changes slower for the person who wears suites a few times a year. But for more fashion oriented cuts, there has been a change for someone that wears them everyday.

Fashion is an MLM scheme in the sense that it only works if those most invested in fashion can convince those less invested that it has value

Showing a sign of belonging to the in-group always has value. Based on that, marketing of new fashions becomes much simpler.

In-group value is a kind of MLM scheme :)

In-group of who? People who wear it?

"People of our social circle dress like this".

Truly blows my mind anyone cares about this stuff, at all.

Must be a frustrating, expensive, kinda sad way to live life.

Go to enough weddings, funerals and other formal events and buying suits might not be voluntary.

I still remember the suits when they had those really tiny lapels and they didn't last. Those people would be out their suit dineros.

I think you confused my statement of caring what other people think about my suit, to wearing a suit. I wear suits. I just don't care what the fashion around them is.

My suspicion is that you must care (or "not care") enough about the suit to buy something traditional.

Truly blows my mind anyone who doesn't embrace suiting up once in awhile.

Must be a frustrating, passive, kinda sad way to live life.

I suit up when I go to buy a $5 lotto ticket.

Truly blows my mind people buy $5 lotto tickets.

You have to live a little.
