Suiting Up
This winter the newest suits for men continue to trend toward a slimmer, sleeker line, while retaining a sense of luxury and classic style. Designer Thom Browne brings his youthful, slightly cropped silhouette to Brooks Brothers. Brioni remains the favorite of James Bond and other sharp dressers who prefer a defined shoulder and higher armhole. And Tom Ford, known for his sexy looks for women, launches a new men’s line.
