no idea how to post it here but I’ve made an entire… visual essay? notebook? thing? of mens clothes from 1700 to now and here’s a few things I sketched from that huge pile of inspiration. Traced a photo of me for the figure and I’m trying to figure out what would look best on my shape and I have… no idea 😬
The left is more (early) 1920s and the right is more (late I think) 1930s. They’re no where near perfect but it’s hard to draw things when my proportions are so strange. I think I definitely want peak lapels to widen my shoulders and slanted hip pockets. but I don’t know about the button stance. Or the shoulder shape. There’s SO MANY tiny details that make up a suit. And I also don’t want to pick something too difficult for my first ever suit (bc they’re so intense to make). I also want something that looks “classic” and not like a costume. I want to be able to wear it around, not have it sit in my closet
