A complete set of two or more items made from the same fabric. For men, it is normal to wear a jacket, trousers, and vest, while for women, it is normal to wear a jacket, skirt, or trousers. Since the justcorps jacket, which appeared in the 1670s, became a practical garment for men, the combination of justcorps, vest, and culottes continued into the 18th century, and in the mid-19th century, culottes were replaced by pantaloons. During the bustle period in the latter half of the same century, jackets and vests became the norm for the tops, and the modern three-piece suit, with vests and trousers made from the same fabric, was established. Influenced by the American trend after World War II, suits without vests became common, but in Japan, the style continues to exist among older people and fashionable young people. Meanwhile, women's suits followed suit. From the mid-18th century, interest in sports gradually increased in Europe, and riding clothes were introduced to France from England, where sports were popular, and they changed from travel wear to everyday wear, and were called redingotes. At the same time, interest in men's clothes also increased with the rise in awareness of women's liberation and gender equality, and from the 1880s, women began to wear tailor-made clothes like men, and by around 1890, tailored suits were being made by dressmakers. After World War I, as the number of working women increased, functional and rational suits came to occupy a major position in women's clothing. In Japan, women's suits began to spread from the end of the Taisho period to the Showa period, along with the westernization of lifestyles and rationalization of clothing, but it was not until just before World War II that they became common. Today, suits are used for a wide range of purposes, for both men and women, from leisure wear to work wear and semi-formal wear. Women's suits come in a variety of styles, including town, evening, and business, and include tunics, pantaloons, and tailored suits. Suits can also be used to refer to clothing that has a special purpose or is worn under special conditions, such as a bathing suit or a space suit.

同一の布でつくられる、二つ以上のものからなる上下一揃(ひとそろ)いの服のこと。男子の場合には、上着、ズボン、ベスト(チョッキ)、女子の場合は上着、スカートあるいはズボンの組合せが普通。1670年代に現れた男子の上着ジュストコールが実用的衣服となって以来、ジュストコール、ベスト、キュロットの組合せが18世紀にも継続され、19世紀なかばにはキュロットがパンタロンにかわった。同後半のバッスル期には、上衣はジャケットおよびベストが一般的となり、ベストもズボンも共布で仕立てた現代の三つ揃いが確立した。第二次世界大戦後のアメリカの風潮の影響で、ベストを省略したスーツが一般的となったが、日本では年輩者やおしゃれな若者の間には存続している。 一方、女子のスーツは男子用のあとを追って成立した。18世紀中ごろからヨーロッパではスポーツへの関心がしだいに高まり、スポーツの盛んなイギリスから乗馬服がフランスへ導入され、旅行着から日常着となってルダンゴトredingoteとよばれた。おりしも、女性解放と男女平等への意識の高揚とともに、衣服においても男子服に対する関心が高まり、1880年代から女性も男性と同じようなテーラー・メイドの服を着用し始め、さらに1890年ごろには、ドレスメーカーによってテーラード・スーツがつくられるまでになった。第一次大戦後、働く女性の増加にしたがって、機能的かつ合理的なスーツは婦人服のなかで主要な地位を占めるようになった。日本では、大正時代に生活様式の洋風化、服装の合理化とともに、同末期から昭和にかけて婦人物のスーツが普及し始めたが、これが一般化したのは第二次大戦直前であった。現在、スーツは男女用とも、遊び着から通勤着、準礼服に至るまで用途が多い。女子のスーツにはタウン、イブニング、ビジネスなど、形態ではチュニック、パンタロン、テーラードなどが含まれる。 また、ある特殊な目的をもつ、あるいは特殊な条件下で着用する服のこともスーツという。ベイジングスーツbathing suit(水着)、スペーススーツspace suit(宇宙服)などがそれである。 [田村芳子] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
