A Suit For All Seasons
Men’s suits are one of the most important elements of a man’s wardrobe. There are several factors to consider when investing in this key sartorial piece as well as a checklist of what makes a suit timeless.
What makes a suit timeless?
1. The fit
There are several fits of suit and it is important when choosing one that the occasion it will be worn for is taken into consideration as much as the personal style of the person wearing it. From classic fits to contemporary or modern slim-fitting suits, there is a wide range of options. Men may prefer a more classic fit for the office whereas they may opt for something that gives a nod to current trends for weddings or special occasions.
2. The design and colour
The range of fabrics, styles and colours are important, as every man wants his suit to both look and feel premium. Some quintessentially British styles such as a classic pinstripe or herringbone fabric are enduring designs that will not go out of style.
3. The tailoring
Suits that are tailored are extra decadent and for many years, Savile Row has been the benchmark of quality when it comes to crafting men’s suits. Classic tailoring takes into account the rise of the trousers, the cut of the jacket and the types of hems used, all factors that contribute to making the suit you choose look perfect.
4. The way it is worn.
Of course, a suit is the staple of any smart man’s wardrobe, but this can be styled however you wish, meaning you can dress the suit up or down according to the occasion. A formal meeting may require a crisp white shirt and a silk tie, whereas dinner with friends may call for a splash of colour on the shirt with an open collar. This is the beauty of a good-fitting, classic men’s suit: it is truly versatile.
Gifts for him
If you are looking for the perfect gift for the man in your life, a suit is something that a man will not only get a lot of use out of in the practical sense, but it is also something that speaks volumes about taste, sophistication and really shows how special you want to make him feel. Other gifts for him that showcase a sense of enduring style include classic shirts, iconic ties and luxurious accessories such as cufflinks and leather belts.
