다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research is to observe background of origination and process of changing style for men`s suits and also to observe the root of aesthetics which has made the changing style be maintained for neary 200 years. The aesthetic characteristics are, 1) The revival of the Neo-Classicism beauty in the 18th century could be regarded as the root of incipient style of the modern men`s suits design. And the cutters recreated ancient nude hero which was an object of envy at that time and also reproduced men`s suits through modifying the existed suits to make the ancientnude conform with the sewing regulations in order to describe and convey the perfect imaged of gender. 2) The cutter, who pursued merit of the classicismic asthetics in the late 18th century, artisically upgraded English rough country coat to keep pace with Nordic coat style of Netherland, Russia, Germany, while in constrast with the coat style mode which was in fashion in France and Italy then. And also they changed the English country coat to a noble natural clothing structure in relation to ancient sculpture to keep the English tradition. 3) Im the 18th century, Neo-Classicism art emphasized transparent and monochromatic beauty and thus color was limitedly used. In the use of the limited color, however, ancient aesthetical simple purity was well described within the more realistic outline. In those days, the cutter who admired the English Neo-Classicism removed color-luster and preferred colorless inished dimly and transparently. And thus, color of the men`s suits become to be also dim colored in los brightness. This means that it did not express pure beauty but brough such effect of the Classicism beauty that the nude itself was figured out.
