Men are starting to appreciate and pay attention to trends more than ever.

There is nothing better than seeing a man in a well-fitting suit. A good suit can seem to make the man look wealthier, smarter, nicer, and definitely more successful.

Mens wear is an area of function which has been and continued to be innovative and contemporary in its design changes.

Men are getting more and more interested in clothes. Furthermore, they're getting more interested in clothes that fit them well - even their casual outfits. It's about time we all start reevaluating how we've been dressing and start thinking how we can dress to impress 24/7. It's not what you wear, but how you wear it most times that makes the difference. Clean yourselves up gentlemen.

A frock coat is a man's coat characterised by knee-length skirts all around the base, popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The double-breasted style is sometimes called a Prince Albert (after the consort to Queen Victoria). The frock coat is a fitted, long-sleeved coat with a centre vent at the back, and some features unusual in post-Victorian dress. These include the reverse collar and lapels, where the outer edge of the lapel is cut from a separate piece of cloth to the main body, and also a high degree of waist suppression, where the coat's diameter round the waist is much less than round the chest. This is achieved by a high horizontal waist seam with side bodies, which are extra panels of fabric above the waist used to pull in the naturally cylindrical drape

A tailcoat is a coat with the front of the skirt cut away, so as to leave only the rear section of the skirt, known as the tails. The historical reason coats were cut this way was to make it easier for the wearer to ride a horse, but over the years tailcoats of varying types have evolved into forms of formal dress for both day and evening wear. Although there are several different types of tailcoat, the term tailcoat is popularly taken to be synonymous with the type of dress coat still worn today in the evening with white tie.

This dress coat, one of the two main surviving tailcoats, is a dark evening coat with a squarely cut away front. The other one is the morning coat (or cutaway in American English), which is cut away at the front in a gradual taper.
