I am always amazed when I wear something so “out of fashion” as this full-cut, three-piece suit. It is incredibly comfortable and, I think, very flattering.

(Sorry for the overexposure. I took the shot just as the only ray of sunshine that we’re liable to see today burst out of the cloud-locked sky.)
The suit features a double-pleated trouser worn at the natural waist (i.e. with a high-rise by today’s standards), a six button vest and a drape cut coat. The flannel is very lofty and feels like a blanket made for napping. But, the younger audience, and the majority of women, would find this to be very, very frumpy. It is simply not fashionable.
But it remains stylish. And isn’t that something to strive for?
What are your thoughts? Is there room for two different cuts in your wardrobe? Or should we subscribe to the current style only, as long as it looks good on us?
