Tailored Jacket Highlights/Detail 2 ” Silhouette and Length
The silhouette of tailored jackets differs greatly depending on the national pattern. In these days when dress styles are becoming more casual, the spacious box silhouette of the American sack suit is the focus of attention. In addition, due to the “return to classic” trend, many brands have been offering a basic length that covers the hips over the past few years.
Check out the two major styles of “British” and “Italian!
While styles vary from sartorial style to sartorial style, the “British style” and the “Italian style” are the two styles that cannot be ignored when understanding jacket styles. While both are the same tailored jacket, they have different characteristics.
The “British style” is the cornerstone of suits.
The UK is the land where the original suit was born. The English drape, which was born around the 1930s, is a full-fur-core tailoring style with a structured and three-dimensional silhouette that many sewing makers and brands still refer to today. This is a style so well established that many sewing companies and brands still use it as a reference. Many people probably think of this style when they hear the word “suits.
Italian style” established its own position with its sophisticated and sexy tailoring
In contrast to the British style, which incorporates interlinings to create a structured silhouette like armor, the Italian style is famous for its tailoring that makes the silhouette of the wearer’s natural body look sexy by removing interlinings. Unconstructed jackets (abbreviation of “unconstructed jacket”) have a soft silhouette with minimal lining, interlining, shoulder pads, and other secondary materials, and are light and comfortable to wear without being overbearing. The soft silhouette and lightweight comfort of the jacket, with its minimal use of lining, interlinings, shoulder pads, and other secondary materials, is becoming the basic of suit jackets in today’s casual business style.
