Goodbye to the Blue Suit.
Time for a change of suit? Yes Please!
It’s been too much!
Thank you and goodbye to the Blue Suit. Honestly. It is done to death. Too much. Can’t look at another one.
Never before in the history of fashion (uncited) has a single outfit permeated the population to the point of prosaicness
Over the last few years the two, or I guess three, piece blue suit has been a staple, for some. To be honest, as someone who commenced wearing corporate wear in the 90’s, a time when there were sometimes up to three choices of colour in suit wear, regardless gender, those being brown, black and sometimes grey, I am prone to variety.
Although once I do remember having a navy suit. But it was the 90’s, and it took the shape of shoulder pads and a non-flattering just beyond the knee length skirt. I’m not saying I didn’t like it at the time. I am saying that I like a good suit. I am saying that I am against fast fashion. I am saying that what usually happens is that outfits are purchased at a point in time, and then at another point in time a potentially similar, but differently coloured item, becomes available. And then those are purchased. And worn. And then in circulation are a bunch of different things. I like diversity. I personally don’t care if there are years between these events, if I know that eventually a change will arrive.
Whereas it feels, at the moment that, the blue suit has continually fluctuated within its wavelength (440-490nm) and will continue to do so in perpetuity. I guess what I am looking for is a timeframe. I need to know when this will be over.
When will Thrift stores be packed full of discarded suits in a blue hue.
Please give me variety!
No peacocking thanks bellends, but come on, when you think about it the first person to move on from the blue suit, into the 'INSERT COLOUR HERE' suit, they are going to be the winner right?
Let’s spitball some colour options:
Black? Hmmm, a tad funereal
Cream? I mean Prince says get on down, but I am going to remind you of safari suits. And that weird guy that turned up to a speed-dating event I went to. He was wearing a see-through cream linen suit. In the city. After work. Oh, and he was really drunk.
Grey? Yes, lots of options there
Red? At this point I would happily accept it
Yellow? Did we learn nothing from the 90’s?
Brown? Brown is a no. No. Big no. Just no. No forever.
Green? Probs same as brown.
Look, I think we all know that I don’t have all the answers. Although…maybe I do!
How about…
Go to a thrift store and buy a well-made awesome suit that will last you FOREVER! And get in quick before the racks are swamped with the unsuitable blue suit. Seriously, it’s too much!
