Slim Fit Is Dead – The Return of Classic Menswear

Did Instagram make menswear better or did it make everyone dress the same? In this episode, Michał and Jordan discuss how Instagram transformed modern menswear: from the rise of influencers and Pitti peacocking to algorithm-driven trends, perfectly curated outfits and the pressure to dress for likes rather than for yourself. We look at whether social media helped more men discover classic style, or whether constant inspiration eventually turned into imitation. Has Instagram democratized good style or ruined individuality?

Menswear guys are a strange breed. We obsess over trouser rises, argue about lapel widths, travel with garment bags like our lives depend on them, and somehow convince ourselves that buying another pair of loafers is completely reasonable. In this episode of Suit Yourself, Michał and Jordan take a slightly less serious look at the ridiculous things menswear guys do, including plenty of things we’re absolutely guilty of ourselves. From Pitti Uomo behaviour and overdressing to obsessive clothing details, questionable purchases and the unwritten rules of the menswear world. If you’ve ever planned an entire outfit around one pair of shoes… this episode might be about you.

From Melbourne to the world of modern menswear. We sat down with Steve Calder, founder of Informale, to talk about building a menswear brand with its own identity, blending Italian tailoring, workwear, vintage and military influences without simply recreating the past. We get into the story behind Informale, designing clothes that are actually meant to be worn, producing locally in Melbourne, inspiration, personal style and what it takes to build an independent brand today. A proper conversation about clothes, craft and why good menswear is about much more than following trends. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment!
