Institutionalized in the royal court of England by the British dandy George Brummell at the end of the nineteenth century, the costume has evolved with its time without ever leaving the men’s dressing rooms. Sometimes strict, sometimes streetwear, sometimes effortless, the jacket/pants set knows how to reinvent itself for the delight of its aficionados.
You see it in the business districts as well as in the trendy neighbourhoods. Once reserved for mature men, the costume is now adopted by all ages and social classes. If it is sometimes reworked with great originality, or even completely offbeat, the traditional costume remains at the top of fashion, a vector of beautiful elegance and an assured allure.
The catwalks, artistic scene where the costume has the leading role
Once again, the men’s costume galvanized the catwalks during the fall-winter 2025-2026 fashion week. For the next season, the fashion houses have worked these pieces in a more empirical way while keeping the traditional fundamentals of this set. Always elegant and sophisticated, the costumes do not hesitate to take an experimental approach.
Louis Vuitton, whose collection was created in four hands by the artistic director Pharrell Williams and his stylist friend Nigo, has married its modernized archives to Japanese influences, with some references to workwear. Dolce & Gabbana has, as usual, worked the suit in a great Italian refinement. On the Dior side, Kim Jones was inspired by the H collection designed by Christian Dior for the Haute Couture of winter 1954-1955, with cuts as wide as close to the body and crossed blazers.
