How to do a modern take on 90's Armani suit tailoring
I want to try something a little different for a casual, going out outfit, not a work or professional fit but I have zero idea how to pull it off.
Basically I like the look of early 90s Armani suits, very flowy, loose, drapey etc. I don't want to just buy a vintage Armani suit and have it look dated or like a costume though. Is there a way to do a modern take on this Armani styling, and if so how would you go about doing it?

The reason I'm hesitant to just buy shit on my own is the way the shits fit flies in the face of what I normally look for: The shoulders are bigger and wider than the should be, the chest is loose to the point it looks like the model is wearing a couple sizes large than he should be, same with the waist. But somehow it still looks good IMHO

'90s Armani Looks Even Better Now
In the early '90s, Giorgio Armani knocked the stuffing out of the '80s power suit—and created an eternally cool uniform for right now.

Honestly getting vintage Armani is actually the way to go here
@Weeg might have more insight but this feels like a style that needs to be done all the way or not at all
They were designed to be drapey and loose and the fabric and construction is contributing to that
Yeah theres no real replacement for it
But luckily ebay is flush with options
Some 90s ysl can get you most of the way but it doesnt quite have that ease
this
otherwise you end up looking like a person in the ill fitting suit
The only step outside the armani vibe can be an influencer look, cap+short shoulder bag + sneaks
Definitely look at lemaire and the most recent ysl stuff for some extra inspo on the “modern” take
