Modern trends 2008: one-button suits

The fashion of 2008 opens new and sometimes unexpected possibilities for men, providing them with new approaches to already existing things. This season brings one-button suits into fashion. Simple and elegant, one button suits leave three- and even two-button suits behind. But it is to be noted, that this kind of suits is not appropriate for office. They are the best variant, when your pinstripes or tuxedo won’t do. But don’t be afraid of trying them on. The proof of pudding is in the eating, that’s why you cannot say that a thing doesn’t suit you if you have never tried it on.

Zegna
This black one-button suit can be pared with different accessories and shirts of any color. Each cuff has got 4 buttons, thus adding the whole suit a bit more formal flair, but the slope of the lapel and cut of the sleeve are clearly modern. This Zegna will do all right with a collared dress shirt and a thin tie.

Ted Baker
This brown, pinstriped Ted Baker suit is an irreplaceable thing in your after-five wardrobe. It is very practical and quite affordable. The side vents and notch lapel have something of an English style, but the extreme drop of the jacket opening and the only button on each cuff prove you that this suit is created for night business. Wearing it with a blue or white dress shirt you’ll feel self confident and very stylish in any room you enter that evening!

Richard James
Due to its cut, the Richard James suit is so sleek that you may never want to wear anything else. The secret of this pleasant feeling is in the details of the cut of the sleeves and the stalwart stance of the shoulder. On the sleeves the fabric narrows at the elbow and flares slightly at the cuff, thus reminding us of Yves Saint-Laurent's style in the 1970s. As they say, everything new is simply well forgotten old.

Theory
Wearing this one-button suit jacket you are sure to feel more personal freedom and self-confidence than in any other. Go ahead with wearing Theory with a sharply pressed white dress shirt with the collar open and the button closed. In this suit you will not help being noticed, so if you want this, have it!

If you really want to stand out from the herd and are looking for excellent means of expressing your individuality, modern trends 2008 give you such an opportunity. One-button suits are an adequate substitution for two-button suits and tuxedos on formal nights.

I've been searching for well styled one button suits that fit your descriptions. I'm looking for something within the less than $500 price range. Can you recomend any designers/stores in the chicago area? I thought of having one tailor made but I'm not sure if the tailor can pull off a really good one button suit.
