Trim Down for Spring: Five Slim Suits We Love

The slim suit isn’t new or groundbreaking, but it’s certainly something to explore if you’re bored with a more traditional cut. Re-popularized by the executives of Mad Men, it’s easy to see why more men are choosing to slim down their suit game. And you don’t have to be rail thin to rock this style: a well-tailored, slim-cut suit will make any man look trimmer than the usual boxy design.

Below, we’ve assembled five of our favorites to get you started on your quest for a sleeker spring.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils.
