Check any television station during its news
time. See the similarity? All male studio-based newsman wears a custom suit! Now, take extra attention to the
design. You may check this out with
other stations or on the next day’s news edition. Have you observed how they rarely, if not
never, repeat the same custom
suit?
This is a fact for all media people appearing on
national television regularly. From
make-up to custom suit,
they are sponsored by many business establishments. This is evidenced by the acknowledgement
section at the end of each show or the companies they thank during the show.
If you ask me, studio-based male newscasters are
the right models for menfashion. Advertising through
popular media personalities and high rated shows guarantee a wide advertising
exposure. And as there are many of these
men with different body built, a clothing company can surely get media mileage
for their new designs.
But why do male newscasters always wearsuits? In highly developed and first
world countries, suits are their normal working clothes. It is also perfect for the climate in their
country. Taking a quick look at the
history of suits, you’ll find them of British origin.

formal attire for them, they wear suits to add credibility to their
profession. And even if the country may
be tropically warm, offices maintain a certain degree of cool temperature. The low temperature is for the proper
maintenance of the various machines used.
Formal fashion for men is synonymous to wearing
suits. Men in suits exude a certain
degree of power which demands the highest form of respect. Worn by a man with good physique, like the
famous James Bond character, it also has the power to radiate with sex appeal.
Most fashion shows, anywhere in the world, focus
on women fashion. Men fashion is
included in such shows but remain a minor event. Though not as prevalent as women fashion,
fashion for men clothing had undergone a gradual change through the centuries.
