The Vegan slim-fit suit in Italian linen is free from any animal-based materials and is part of [BOSS Menswear's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equestrian-apparel) commitment to sustainably creating and finishing products. The businesswear piece boasts a streamlined fit and a woven micro pattern, plus details like kissing buttons on the cuff, notched lapels and chest pockets. Notably, the suit has been certified vegan and boasts a [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biodegradable-leather-alternative)-Approved Vegan logo. As more consumers become interested in cruelty-free and sustainable fashion whether for ethical or environmental reasons, brands are reimagining wardrobe staples with different materials that have less of an impact.
