Suits

Blazers, waistcoats and suit trousers for women and men, from Undercover, MM6, Les Deux, Sulvam and Issey Miyake.

A suit pairs structured tailoring with matching trousers or skirts, balancing clean lines against relaxed proportions for everyday wear. Modern tailoring relies on breathable wool, crisp cotton, and fluid silk across deep black, fresh white, and muted taupe. Pleated folds and wide leg cuts give these traditional forms room to breathe while keeping sharp profiles.

The modern suit took shape in London, where Savile Row tailors have cut by hand since the eighteen hundreds. Japanese designers loosened it in Paris in the eighties. Homme Plisse Issey Miyake brings architectural heat pressed pleats that resist wrinkles. Sulvam leaves frayed edges and uneven hems on its tailoring, while Coperni cuts clean lines in Paris.

Sharp pants, suits and blazers, and tailored vests anchor the look alongside soft knitwear and leather boots. WDLT117 in Toronto carries most of it, from Issey Miyake pleats to UJOH and Sulvam tailoring, and Due West adds trousers from A.P.C. and Sunflower.

Common questions

What fabrics work best for modern suits?
Wool provides natural structure and temperature regulation through autumn. Crisp cotton and breathable linen deliver structure during warmer months.
How should a relaxed suit fit across the shoulders?
Shoulder seams drop slightly past your natural frame without collapsing. Room through the chest allows easy layering over light sweaters or tees.
Which independent designers rework traditional tailoring?
Sulvam leaves frayed edges and uneven hems on its suits. Homme Plisse Issey Miyake pleats each piece after it is sewn, so it packs flat and keeps its shape.
