.BBC. Retrived from http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-13129837
BBC news magazine had provided information about history of lounge suit and
morning suit, the character of each type. It was a reliable because there were words from
fashion historian for example, Caroline Cox is an international authority on fashion and
beauty in both its modern and historical contexts, Simon Andrews and Richard Pygott. The
morning suit important components are high hat, morning coat, waist coat, neck ware and
striped trouser. The color of all components should be dark grey or black except waist coat
that should be brighter color for example yellow. For Lounge suit, it only consists of jacket
and trouser that are made from same garment. The history of suit started after French
revolution in late of 18 century. Men started to dress well because of masculine. The
morning coat was actually adapted from sportswear such as riding coat. : "A lot of fashion
history is based on what the most fashionable and richest people were wearing at a point in
time and it was the predominant formal dress until around 1910." said by Andrews and
Pygott. On the other hand, Lounge suit was established after only a short time. It was
named after its component, lounge coat which have simpler pattern. It was also inspired
from sportswear too. However, after WW1, the lounge suit is more popular than the
morning coat.

In this article, there were information about where did each part of suit came
from, how important suit is and why it is continuing to represent the men. There were
also many words from each field of work for example designers, actor and politician. It
was about 100 years that suit first existed. Suit remains the symbol of style and
machismo.
Shoulders cuts are in military uniform. The flat lapel was inspired from flattening the
traditional stand-up collar on British army or navy frock coats. The lapel would prevent the
cold for suit owner. Buttons on cuffs were designed for 19th-century surgeons in London,
who needed to roll up their sleeves to prevent them blood or other dirt. The vents at the
back were added for the horse-mad Victorians. All of these elements were composed to be
a business suit that we wear to go to work.
Nowadays, suits are more adaptive and functional. Light weight garment and
comfortable tailored are tend to be more popular because sometimes the weather are hot
and when we travel on the plane, we dont need any scratch on the suit. However, the suit
also represent individual by it tailor, color and fabric which still represent the symbol of
high-class and being respectability. Everyone in each fields for example, Charlie Pickering
the comerdain, Michaeel Kirby, retired judge of the High Court of Australia and Former
prime minister Paul Keating say that they love suit because it is very formal and they will
look great

The discovery site is an reliable site because they provided trusted information and
they have been in the field of presenting truth for a long time. The article was about why
fashion change during the times which were supported by academic research that was cited
in the article. Fashion have changed very slow but there still changed. The first reason is
social and political changes. For example, European traveler went to Ottoman Empire and
brought the luxurious fabric back. They used those fabrics for making clothes such as coat
which were wore by educated class. The second reason is influential of movies, music and
famous people. James Laver, fashion historian, said that fashion is so cyclical. Many things in
the past become popular again for example some designers look for inspiration from 1930
style. The third one is to follow the trend and designed clothes from that. It is called fast
trend

The article is written by fashion blogger who have written many papers. It is about history of suit, the
first time that it spread out. In 17 century, King Charles II announced the rule that the man that went to the
court had to wear a suit in order to be impressed in public. Suit style used to out of date until early of 1900,
the lounge suit was established which got reputation from military and royalty. 1920 suit were wide-
legged trousers that called oxford bags. Trousers tended to be cuff. Senior members of
society would wear a double breasted jacket. In 1940, high-waist trousers were very
popular. In the 1950s to 60s, flawless fitting suits were on trend which made tailor got more
job. Cutting is important for tailored the suit that will fit with the wearer body. Slimmer
lapels, a nipped in waist line and less engulfing trousers was a look born on the streets of
Naples and Rome in the middle of the 20th century. A lighter fabric meant less structure to
the suit, giving a more relaxed outlook. On the other hand, as the Victorian suit broadened
the shoulders and covered up most of the body became the traditional English suit that was
inspired from the Italians in the 1960s.
