Suits evolved from stand-up collar military uniforms. Released soldiers unbuttoned and created the suit prototype. Single-breasted suits are classic, double-breasted are modern. Classic suits originated in England, emphasizing the “V-zone.” When discussing three-button suits, Ivy Style’s “roll to the second button” is key. It’s a declaration of not fastening the button and signifies a classic style. In the U.S., immigrants embraced freedom, creating their style rooted in tradition but emphasizing freedom of movement and functionality. The history of suits, evolving from frock coats and smoking jackets, is more intriguing when viewed through a historical and societal lens.
