Slim Suits: All the Rage?

Yup, the skinny jean look has hit suits. And at least one financier is drinking the two-button Kool Aid:
“You get to show off your physique more,” said Michael Chan, 30, an equities trader in New York who in the last year bought two slim, two-button suits from Seize sur Vingt, a custom suit maker in NoLIta. “It’s a more fitted look, not so baggy or amorphous, so you can see the body shape.” All the three-button suits in his closet? “I don’t wear them anymore,” he said. “Those big, boxy shoulders, all that room swimming in the waist, it looks totally outdated, like you’re back from the 1990s.”

Oh, so *gay* is in? I’m a straight girl, and I didn’t get that memo.
Give me a guy with padded shoulders, a v-shaped torso and non-scrawny legs any day.

Seize sur Vingt? Pretty sub-par, I’ll go to Bergdorf and see the slim suits. Skinny and fat men are plagues to finance. The lean are alpha.
