Gucci men's suits: features and model overview
Gucci is a brand focused on successful men who, by virtue of their professional activities, follow their image and are always in the spotlight. In addition, the line of products of this brand is represented not only by traditional classic suits, but also by models corresponding to the latest "squeak of fashion". A long-lasting perfume of the same brand will help to complement the image.
Peculiarities
Traditionally, classic men's suits are represented by the line single-breasted and double-breasted jacket models. Equipment single-breasted can include the well-known "three" or the equally well-known "two". The difference lies in the presence or absence of a vest, which has recently somewhat lost its relevance.
Single-breasted jackets have one or two cuts (slots) at the back, and their collars (lapels) are rectangular... The image is completed by two or three buttons, of which only the top buttons (1 or 2) are fastened according to all the rules of etiquette.
A feature of double-breasted suits are lapels with a pointed appearance, and two slots are always made at the back. As for the buttons, they are decorated in four or six rows, arranged in pairs. True, the top pair has only a decorative and aesthetic purpose.
It should be noted that the complete set of models (be it "two" or "three"), claiming to be classics, should be made in one color. These are the requirements of the rules of etiquette.
Classic and informal models
The classic models are contrasted with modern, so to speak, informal costumes. “Modernity” in “Gucci” clothes is presented mainly in colors or in the cut of trousers. As for the color, there are the following variations:
- trousers and a jacket can be, for example, in one color (red, blue), and a vest, for example, will be gray, but in order for it to correspond to a single style of a suit, a cage or strip on it will be in a cage in a color corresponding to the color of the entire suit.
- there are variations when the jacket and vest are made in the same tone, and the pants may differ (the most common equipment is: the top is red or blue, and the bottom is gray).
As for the cut of trousers, nowadays shortened and tapered models are in demand.
They can taper both along the entire length, and only downward. Such models are in demand among young people around the age of 30-35. The older generation prefers traditionally classic models.
As for the vest itself, then with its help you can emphasize your individuality, since it can be open or closed, due to a more or less deep cut. Such a seemingly insignificant detail is essential for the image as a whole. A vest with a deeper cut when the jacket is buttoned is almost invisible, which gives the image a free look. If the vest is taller, slightly revealing the chest, then a man in such a suit looks more restrained, stricter, more formal.
Also, among the classic models, a number of costumes stand out that can hardly be called traditionally classic, but they have little to do with modernity. We are talking about peculiar models that you cannot find in offices or at business meetings. These are the so-called business card suits in some circles, which have a certain formality.
The bottom of both the jacket and the vest (if it is a "three") model, which has a formality, has a tapered cut, tapering downward.Due to the elongation in the back (the so-called tail), the jacket often resembles a cardigan or tailcoat, which, to create a certain image, is necessarily complemented by a top hat and a cane. This model, due to a certain originality, is not designed for business meetings, but is intended for an unofficial appearance in high society (for example, horse racing, going to the casino, playing golf).
Due to the mentality of Russians, such suits are not in demand in our country, they are relevant, as a rule, in England.
It should be noted that buttons, both in classic models for men and in informal ones, play an important role. Connoisseurs of men's fashion, based on classics and the rules of etiquette, indicate that the number of buttons on a suit indicates the purpose of the suit.
- Suits with one button are designed, most likely, for show business or meetings in an informal setting, since even when buttoned, such a button gives the image a slight negligence.
- "Three" with one button contrasted with suits with two. These are traditional classic models designed directly for formal business meetings.
- The collection of traditional classics is complemented by suits with three buttons. The upper one is hidden under the lapel, and the loop located on the wrong side is decorated. In such models, only the upper buttons are fastened, and the lower one serves as an addition, completing the image of a business man.
- And finally four-button models are considered sports and are intended for casual informal meetings. The lapels here have a tapered look and the fabric is lightweight.
Thus, it is a mistake to consider "Gucci" as a trademark based only on the classics.
This brand did not stop in its development in place, focusing only on the classics. Designers striving to keep up with the times have developed a line of products based on the classics, but at the same time, the models are designed for the modern consumer of the 21st century. In addition, the cut is largely focused on the needs of a particular nation.
Types depending on the cut
- English. Severity and simplicity are inherent in him.
- American. Has a slightly baggy appearance, as the jacket does not imply fit.
- European. Includes English elegance and a bit of American casualness. The model is suitable for tall, broad-shouldered men.
- French... It is characterized by trousers narrowed at the hips.
- German. Loved by many men. It is a simplified American look.
- Italian. It is characterized by the ability to hide any flaws in the figure. Trousers of a classic straight cut, having the same width along the entire length.
Recommendations
"Gucci" is a brand that is known for its peculiarity in certain circles of the population. An inexperienced consumer striving to match the business class without suspecting anything can easily stumble upon a fake.
The price category and low-quality seam will help to determine the fake product. As for the price, the most expensive classic men's suits are considered "troikas" or the latest modern models, the cost of which ranges from 100,000 to 150,000 rubles. In order not to become a victim of fraudsters, it is imperative to pay attention to the seam, which is even in the original product, without protruding threads.
