THE GUIDE

To the Perfect Suit or Blazer

1. The Fit is Everything

A well-fitted men's suit transforms your appearance. Prioritise a tailored fit over anything else. The jacket should hug your shoulders comfortably (no gaps or wrinkles), the sleeves should end at your wrist bone, and the trousers should lightly break at the shoes. If off-the-rack doesn’t feel quite right, alterations are your best friend, offering an easy and affordable way to refine the fit and achieve a polished, custom-tailored look. Even small adjustments, such as shortening sleeves or hemming trousers, can make a significant difference in how the suit complements your silhouette.

2. Start with the classics

When building your wardrobe, start with a navy or charcoal suit. These colours are versatile, working seamlessly for both professional and social occasions. Add a crisp white shirt and a classic tie, and you’ll be prepared for almost any event.

3. Fabrics Matter

Opt for wool as your primary fabric. It’s breathable, durable, and suitable for year-round wear. For warmer climates, consider lightweight options like linen or cotton blends, but keep the structure sharp.

4. Build Your Wardrobe Strategically

Once you’ve got your staple navy or charcoal suit, branch out to lighter greys, earth tones, or subtle patterns like pinstripes or windowpane checks. Introduce sport coats and blazers to mix and match with tailored trousers or even denim for a relaxed but refined look.

Your suit is more than just a garment, it’s your armour, your ally, and a reflection of your personal style.
