The three-piece costume comes back: tips for wearing it with style<

We used to see him above all at weddings, in the "grand tralala" version, with a suit and neckerchief. Or in its streetstyle version, as a tribute to the Saved by the Bell years. From now on, we see the vest coming back more and more in the windows of tailors, on the pages of magazines and in the street. With the jacket and the pants, they reform the holy trinity of the suit: the three-piece.

"A more refined style"

What explains this return to favor of a style that we would have gladly described as "cushy" just five years ago? At Cifonelli, a prestigious Parisian tailor where you can see this renewed affection, the answer is clear. “Men are more and more interested in elegance, in a more refined style,” notes Lorenzo Cifonelli, who runs the house with his cousin Massimo. The three-piece suit represents a form of culmination of this. In addition, hipster fashion, which likes to play with the codes of retro chic, has relieved those who feared that they would be accused of being backward or that their interest in fashion seemed a little ambiguous. “Men increasingly want to dress well,” also notes Frédéric Verdure, head of style at the Nouveaux Ateliers. They are no longer afraid that their clothes will make them look less manly. On the contrary. It is by drawing from the most traditional wardrobe that they now show their desire to stand out. »

As a result, more and more of them are slipping a cardigan under their jacket, like Houzefa, 36, a forerunner in this field since he has been wearing three-pieces for around five years. “A friend recommended it to me, he thought it would suit me well. But those I tried did not convince me. When I had my first three-piece custom made, the difference jumped out at me, it was perfect! I have since adopted him. »

A simple desire for elegance? Not only. Houzefa, who is a project manager in an engineering environment, has noticed changes in his daily professional life. “The three-piece is rare. Therefore, when you wear one, you immediately stand out in an assembly or a meeting. It strikes memories, people remember us. Its elegance attracts: contacts are made more easily. It gives the opportunity to pay compliments, for example, which makes it possible to initiate conversation. During difficult negotiations, it gives assurance, confers a certain stature; it is an asset of seduction.

The three-piece emphasizes your uniqueness and becomes an undeniable asset. But this desire for distinction presupposes respecting a certain number of very precise rules so as not to risk missing out on the subject completely. "The waistcoat - like the double-breasted jacket - does not support roughness. Otherwise, it's a disaster! warns Lorenzo Cifonelli. You have been warned.

First recommendation: avoid ready-to-wear, to avoid the waiter syndrome. If you want to treat yourself to your first three-piece, push the door of a tailor instead. He will cut you a waistcoat cut close to the body, which will structure your silhouette and give you a beautiful presence. the stomach than a shirt stretched to its buttons like a tent canvas to its pegs.
