1. Classic Tailoring with a Modern Twist

Classic tailoring never goes out of style. However, modern Fall styles show a shift towards modern elements incorporated into traditional suit looks. Expect to see slim-fitting silhouettes with slightly shorter jacket lengths. This contemporary take on the classic suit adds a touch of modernity and versatility to your suit look, giving your suit jacket the sport coat vibe when necessary. This will also include a push for more classic and often vintage accessories, such as timepieces from the 80’s and 90’s, and the return of the french cuff shirt with interesting cuff links as a fashion statement.

6. Oversized Outerwear

This one almost pains me to say, as a stickler for properly-fitted garments, but… Embrace the trend of oversized pieces this fall. I don’t personally love the oversized suit look, where the shoulders are slouching halfway down your bicep, but if you’re in a market that appreciates that look, go for it! (If you’re in DC, probably don’t.) Current trends are pushing the boundaries of traditional tailoring by introducing loose-fitting overcoats with wide lapels and lots of flair. Pair one large piece with an otherwise-fitted outfit and sleek accessories to balance out the volume and create a stylish statement look.

Fall style is all about embracing classic tailoring with a modern twist. Experiment with earthy tones, textured fabrics, and layered knitwear to create a stylish and sophisticated look. Don't be afraid to try louder suits or incorporate statement patterns and prints for a fashion-forward approach. Elevate your style this season and make a lasting impression wherever you go. And remember, when you’re looking for a completely custom suit option with more ways to make it your own than anyone else, Capitol Hill Clothiers has your back.
