In an era where merely being "well-put-together" is no longer enough, suits are required to achieve both functionality and aesthetic sense.
This time, we introduce a suit proposed by apartir
—a modern peaked lapel suit tailored in ZEGNA TRAVELLER dark navy.
The fabric used is "TRAVELLER," a pride of the prestigious Italian brand Ermenegildo Zegna.
The essence of this fabric lies in its "functionality to maintain visual beauty."
It resists wrinkles even after long hours of wear or travel and boasts excellent recovery, thus maintaining a neat appearance at all times, from daily business to business trips and dinner engagements.
In other words, it is a wool adapted to modern urban life.
The color is dark navy. This exquisite tone, which isn't too close to black but still hints at blue, combines British gravitas with Italian elegance. It's a color that exudes a subtle yet undeniable presence.
Apartir's design choice for this fabric is intriguing.
The lapels are peaked, but their angle and position are set "low."
While peaked lapels typically symbolize strength and flamboyance, here their assertiveness is toned down, functioning merely as a subtle accent.
As a result, the design is elevated to a modern balance that blends naturally into business settings.
The construction is not overly exaggerated.
The shoulders sit naturally, and the line from the chest to the waist is flowing.
Side vents ensure freedom of movement while adding a light, dynamic feel to the back.
It's a design that adheres to tailoring fundamentals while keeping "ease of use" in daily life in mind.
The trousers are also a crucial element that enhances the completeness of this suit.
With one outer pleat and a slightly higher rise, they offer appropriate room around the waist while gently tapering towards the hem, naturally refining the leg line.
While embracing the trend of classic revival, they avoid excessive volume.
The subtle point is that the silhouette remains adapted to modern urban life.
The charm of this suit lies in its "duality."
When worn with a tie, it presents a trustworthy business style.
On the other hand, unbuttoning the shirt and pairing it with loafers transforms it into a relaxed yet refined dress style.
It's not overly bound by convention, yet it doesn't fall apart.
Isn't the balance struck in between these two extremes precisely what is sought after in suits today?
Classics are continually updated.
And this one piece quietly demonstrates "how to update them."
A suit for wearing classics "now"
The functionality of ZEGNA TRAVELLER.
The balance of the low-set peaked lapels.
A fusion of classicism and modernity.
This suit is not just a standard item.
It is "a classic optimized for the modern era."
