The ’90s were the decade when a new attitude toward menswear emerged. Visionary designers like Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Tom Ford for Gucci shaped the modern approach to suiting, bringing a sense of ease, confidence and sensuality to formal menswear. Suits remained a wardrobe essential, defined by broader shoulders, softer tailoring, relaxed silhouettes, and timeless shades like charcoal, navy and black. At the same time, men began embracing a more casual approach to getting dressed, thanks to the rise of “Casual Fridays.” Office culture changed, with brands like Gap introducing chinos and relaxed separates as alternatives to traditional wool trousers. Icons like John F Kennedy Jr embodied this new effortless dress code: sharp tailoring softened with a laid-back, off-duty attitude, something that designers Shantnu and Nikhil Mehra are known for.
