How come older people wear baggy suits?
I am noticing that the suits that older men wear are very baggy and large for their body type. As opposed to the younger generation where the suits are slim and fits like a glove.

Hi TheBestMan, check out these links:

Two factors:
1) Most men stick with styles they know vs. chasing trends. When the older men were younger, the baggy "sack suit" was what everybody wore, so they started with it and never changed. If you want to see proof, take a look at the shirts US Senators wear: highly correlated with what was in style when they began their careers. https://www.wardrobeessentialist.com/post/dress-for-your-capitol-hill-i…
In recent years, fashion has shifted to suits that are so tight they look like they were sprayed on, with jackets significantly shorter than traditional styles. This too shall pass.
2) As a man ages, he often shrinks. If he keeps wearing old suits, they will hang on him.
