Diane Keaton with Woody Allen, from Annie Hall, circa 1977. This movie did a great deal to popularize the trend of women wearing men's suits. Diane Keaton still will show up to events quite often in a man's suit. Other stars such as Sissy Spacek adhere to this trend still as well.
A fitted look by Phillip Lim, 2008. Short trousers have become a recent trend for even a 'dressed up' look. From Dior to Phillip Lim men's suits in recent years have been paired with shorts.
Zac Effron at the 2009 Oscar Awards, attired in a closely fitted tailored suite by Dolce and Gabbana.
Marie Antoinette and children. The costume of the day was quite lavish and required intricate detailing in its production. From undergarments to the lace trim on the sleeves, all required detailed tailoring.
Beau Brummel, circa early 1800's. In a well tailored costume. Beau Brummel is accredited for inventing what is to this day the man's suit. This was called the 'dandy' look and has significant social impacts. This look was created in rebellion to the formally popular lavish costumes prior to the French Revolution.
