The 'Detective vs Suspect' fashion style is a dynamic and contrasting aesthetic that draws inspiration from classic film noir and crime dramas. It juxtaposes the sharp, professional look of a detective with the edgy, mysterious appearance of a suspect.
This fashion style emerged from the popularity of crime fiction and film noir in the mid-20th century. It gained renewed interest with the rise of neo-noir films in the 1970s and has since been periodically revived in fashion, often coinciding with crime drama trends in popular culture.
