Suits have vanished from the workplace and they are being replace with the smart trousers, shirt/polo and the Gilet.
If I’m looking at my wardrobe and going by the rules of the charity shop deliberation - “if it hasn’t been worn in the last year, you won’t wear it again so give it to charity”, then my only sports jacket and my last suit (only kept this long because its so dark it could be worn to funerals and black tie do’s) would have gone a long while ago. It seems only estate agents are wearing a suit and tie and you won't see many on the 7:05 London commuter train out of Surbiton any more. Suits have vanished from the workplace. We’ve all had to adapt, and, may I say, become a bit more European, in our work attire. Although, during lockdown I wish I started an online, all year round, Christmas pyjamas company. When I wore suits and shirts to work I didn’t need a lot for the weekend, a pair of jeans, an old rugby shirt and two pairs of trainers (one doubled as running and gym trainers, the other, worn out squash trainers) and that was it. No loafers, desert boots, quarter zips, chinos or shackets. Men's wardrobes have got a lot more voguish. That’s where the gilet comes in - to work, worn with a smart casual shirt or over the jumper, (don’t need the sleeves on the underground, too hot) and at the weekend, most of which is probably spent in the pub so again, loose the sleeves.
