This is another fashion dictum attributed to the Duke of Windsor, (the one who married Wallis Simpson).

I hope this get you there:

I love this. The Duke of Windsor is credited with everything.... "fit and flare"

"...without the lower button done up, the coat front will then move in fluidity with a man’s gait, giving the appearance of a smaller waist, slightly flared hip and added height.”

Yes! Pattern mixing is another of his innovations.

Sometimes he went overboard, but men's clothes can be so staid, there needs to be something to see in every mix. The Duke promoted that.
