1. What makes a suit "contemporary" in style?
Contemporary suits are characterized by their modern, streamlined silhouettes that differ from traditional or classic cuts. They typically feature slimmer lapels, higher button stance, and a more fitted through the chest and waist. The trouser cut is also more tapered, creating a sleek, modern profile. Our contemporary suits incorporate these design elements while maintaining the structural integrity and comfort that comes from expert Dutch tailoring techniques.
2. Which fabrics work best for contemporary suits?
Contemporary suits perform exceptionally well in high-quality wool fabrics that maintain their shape while allowing for the closer fit these styles require. Our collection features premium Italian wools from Vitale Barberis Canonico, known for their superior drape and durability. Wool-cashmere blends offer additional luxury and softness, while pure wool options provide excellent year-round versatility. These fabrics complement the contemporary silhouette by maintaining clean lines without compromising comfort.
3. How should contemporary suits fit compared to traditional styles?
Contemporary suits should fit closer to the body than traditional cuts, but never restrictively. The jacket should follow your natural silhouette with minimal excess fabric, while still allowing comfortable movement. Shoulders should sit naturally without pulling, and the jacket length typically hits at the mid-hip. Trousers are cut slimmer through the leg with a slight taper, usually worn with minimal or no break. Our expert fitters ensure each contemporary suit achieves this precise balance between modern aesthetics and practical comfort.
4. Are contemporary suits appropriate for formal business settings?
Absolutely. Contemporary suits are perfectly suited for professional environments, offering a polished, confident appearance that commands respect in business settings. The clean lines and modern proportions actually enhance the professional image, particularly for younger executives and professionals in creative industries. When crafted from premium fabrics like our Italian wools and tailored with proper attention to fit, contemporary suits provide the sophistication required for important meetings, presentations, and formal business events while reflecting current style sensibilities.
