Etymology

The term 'suiting' derives from the word 'suit', which comes from the Old French 'suite', meaning 'a following' or 'to follow'. This references the way clothing items are designed to complement each other, as in a coordinated outfit. The evolution of suiting in fashion history can be traced back to the 17th century when men's clothing began to shift towards tailored garments, rather than loose-fitting attire. Throughout the centuries, suiting styles have been influenced by cultural, social, and economic changes, leading to the variety we see today. In contemporary fashion, suiting is not limited to just men; women's tailoring has gained prominence, redefining suiting's role in modern wardrobes. The materials used, such as wool, linen, and cotton, have also evolved, providing both comfort and style in different climates.
