Will the 'suit' make it to 300 years?

The Western male suit, in its present form of a sombre-coloured jacket and trousers, is about 200 years old (albeit with origins about 200 years before that).
With changing work practices and the shift toward fashion copying workaday trends rather than aristocratic trends, any bets on the suit making it to 300 years? (OK we can probably discount Joe Kagans radical projections from 1966).
