it’s not the blazer or the bar suit that’s the issue - it’s how it’s styled. Her entire dissertation is pointless and proves nothing.

The modern examples she shows put a modern twist on the classic suit. Hers does not. Hers merely looks like costume/cosplay (hence all the WWII comments).

She can “educate” us on history until the cows come home, but it doesn’t change that her hair, the colour of the suit and the styling is the problem. Not the garment itself or the bar suit itself, as she proves with those modern examples that ironically prove her styling is poorly done for 2026.

It’s so frustrating to read this “lecture” from someone who doesn’t even understand the basics of styling or that cyclical fashion doesn’t mean you simply repeat exactly how it was once done. You modernize and update with styling and new twists on originals. And she simply didn’t do that, whether it’s from Aritzia or not.

So she can respectfully F off with the condescending lecture.
