Fresh takes on suiting for a return to the office

THE holidays are finally over, and the days of working from home could soon, if not already, be well behind us too.

Post-pandemic, heading back to the office spells the end of comfort wear and the return of standard blazers. Some of you might even be having a suit dry-cleaned as you read this. But after nearly three years of taking Zoom calls in our favourite jammies, the road back to 44 (or more) hours a week in shirts and trousers might not sound too appealing.

Enter the Fall/Winter 2023 menswear shows at Paris Fashion Week and at its Milanese counterpart. Longline cuts, draped silhouettes and knit fabrics dominated on both sides.
