Patreon Preview from Blamo! Since at least 2010, menswear writers have been predicting—perhaps secretly hoping for—the end of the slim-fit trend. But it wasn't until January 2016, when Raf Simons debuted his first collection after leaving his directorial role at Dior, that things started to change.

If you're just starting to dip your toes into these waters, Peter and Derek discuss how you can incorporate looser fits into your wardrobe.**Listen to the entire episode and on the Blamo! Patreon
