6. Since the 1950s, there has been gradual
decrease in the demand of formal wear.
With the shift in generations, people lost the
seriousness of formal wear due to lack of
productivity, rebellious cultural
diversification, need for comfortability and
viability.
Formal wear dissolves into casual and
evening wear.
Loses the and meaning,
perceived to make statements.

8. Members of Generation Z were kids during the
Great Recession. Many of them saw their
parents struggle through that time. And, they
watched as their older Millennial siblings
moved back into their childhood bedrooms
after getting their degrees. Because of all
this, Generation Z is a group that values
financial and job security.
9. "The new generation crave flexible work arrangements and they want to do work that’s
meaningful and makes a difference in the world."
The Suit, a staple of formal wear, is
modernised by embracing a casual, relaxed
approach as men and women dress it down
to adhere to their modern dressing
standards.
- it creates positive culture where management
and employees work together to achieve goals.
10. Generation Z & The Fast Fashion
Paradox
Even though the new generation shows conscious
towards the environment yet evidently the issues with
fast fashion seems to stirr up the climate pollution
agenda.
Gen Z's have grown to demand for new, innovative
and creativity in fashion and have no or less patience
with repetition.
The Gen Zs value rare, customised, personalised and
unique which accentuates their individuality. Solutions
have been structured to solve the problems yet they
are expensive, time taking and difficult to adapt within
a short period of time.
If they want to be heard, their clothes should do it for
them. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/10/8534687/generation-z-fast-fashion-paradox

12. Contemporary commuter and business wardrobes are changing, driven by a need for everyday comfort and
performance learnt from sportswear, and the forward-thinking materiality and detail focus of techwear. As
smarter styling and silhouettes continue to trend in the wake of streetwear, the growing taste for minimalism
is transcending its tonal neutrality and reclaiming attitude with bold colour statements.

"Performance Professional"
Even traditional-looking suits are being improved by
sportswear technology. Fabrics pioneered for use by
athletes and explorers, or even for extreme sports,
are being adapted to create workwear that is
wrinkle-proof, breathable, sweat-wicking and
temperature-regulating.

14. The luxury industry focuses on using premium fabrics like top-shelf silk, cotton, and linens. These
fabrics are beautiful and well-made, but after a few hours, they tend to crease, wrinkle, and
stain, which doesn’t look very polished or professional.
Dai, London
"sources most of her materials from an Italian mill called Eurojersey,
which makes a brand of textiles called Sensitive Fabrics that are
often used in biking gear and ballet clothes. The brand is known for
creating fabrics that have a body mapping effect, creating a linear
and homogenous look whether it is covering an elbow or a torso.
And the fabrics have a range of high-tech functions like
breathability, wicking moisture, resisting creasing and pilling, and
four-way stretch."

The idea that clothes should serve a purpose beyond simply looking good is not a new one; it predates
fashion itself. Ever since our distant ancestors first discovered the insulating properties of woolly
mammoth hide, we’ve looked to clothes as a way of responding to the challenges of our environment.
They are, at their essence, functional items; whatever aesthetic value they hold is a secondary to the
obligation not to lead to you freezing to death or outraging public morals.

Argent has already begun to incorporate
functional elements into our pieces, including
reversible suits, media and stylus pockets,
microfiber pocket bags (for cleaning glasses
and iPhone screens) and moisture-wicking
material.

Immense popularity of the office
wear category
21. The popularity of Formal wear (especially office wear has somehow dissolved amongst the other categories.
Like Blazer, which is an important element of office wear has now become a staple in occasion wear,
evening wear and casual wear. But due to predictions of large growth in employment in the next decade, it
seems quite promising that formal wear will make a comeback but with twist. As the new generation is
comparatively more adaptable and demanding to changes, the collaborations of formal wear with different
materials, styles and functionality will fulfil the need of the new generation to work with ease and
comfortability. The new generation is already preparing to voice out their individualism and their
commitment and compassion towards the working culture will bring the "formal" vibe back in the office.
