The Ultra-Chic, Liberated, Flowing Suits: Bold Tailoring Meets Modern Sophistication

The suit, as we know it today, owes much of its evolution to the iconic tailoring of the 1920s—a period that saw a move toward structured yet liberated designs that empowered both men and women. Ferragamo’s 2025 collection echoes this movement, with sharp lines and fluid draping that is nothing short of delicious, capturing the carefree yet refined spirit of the Jazz Age.

For women, the suit is tailored with a soft elegance—sharp shoulders balanced by a relaxed waist and the luxurious texture of silk or wool. Men’s suits, meanwhile, are defined by the perfect fit of a looser, more relaxed silhouette, channeling a 1920s sensibility but with an unmistakable Ferragamo twist.

The color palette is striking: gentle tones of caramel, black, grey, and and dazzling pops of red, ensuring these suits exude a sense of luxurious comfort that embodies the essence of 1920s sophistication. Whether paired with a sleek silk blouse, long-haired, bouncy faux fur or slim belt, these pieces effortlessly capture the allure of the era’s fearless fashion-forward nature.

Leather Handwear: The Art of Craftsmanship

It’s often the accessories that elevate a look, and Ferragamo’s interpretation of 1920s leather handwear is no exception. Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco movement and the lavish lifestyle of the period, the brand has reimagined gloves and other leather accessories as symbols of timeless luxury providing a special moment in within the collection.

2025 Twist: The gloves are sculptural yet functional, with exquisite leatherwork that hints at the geometric patterns and refined elegance of the Jazz Age—powerful and chic, playful and sufficient. Each pair, whether in buttery soft black leather or or the aforementioned dazzling red, is meticulously crafted with detailing that speaks to Ferragamo’s artisanal heritage, making a statement without overpowering an ensemble.

What’s truly special about these accessories is the way they ground the entire collection, offering tactile elements of luxury that complement the fluid tailoring of the suits and dresses.

Loose-Leg Slacks: The New Standard of Chic

One of the most defining pieces of the 1920s was the loose-leg trouser, a breakaway from the structured, restrictive styles of the past. Ferragamo has effortlessly captured the essence of this iconic piece, creating trousers that are both relaxed and refined. The loose-leg slacks give wearers the freedom to move while still looking chic, a true tribute to the 1920s' bold sense of liberation.

2025 Twist: Ferragamo’s loose-leg slacks are designed with impeccable attention to fit and detail, combining classic and modern elements. The trousers have been updated with a tailored waist, providing a flattering silhouette while retaining the laid-back elegance that makes them so effortlessly stylish. The luxurious fabrics, ranging from satin to fine wool blends, add texture and depth, while the sophisticated color palette keeps them grounded in high fashion.

Pairing these trousers with a tailored blazer or a flowing blouse makes for the perfect ensemble, ideal for both day and night. Whether you’re dressing them down with a minimalist top or dressing them up with a statement piece, the loose-leg slacks represent a modern reinvention of a beloved 1920s classic.

Key details such as intricate lacework, sparkling embellishments, and intricate pleating all evoke the grandeur of the period—yet these dresses are designed with a contemporary eye for simplicity and comfort that appeals to the modern woman. Whether it’s a sheath dress with delicate beadwork or a daring slip with geometric lace details, the gowns are the epitome of sophistication.
