Current business suit fashions

Oh, for a bit of interest, the rear venting is something you might want to consider - central vents are a bit European (Italian?), side vents are very British. NFI why I know that. I haven't worn a suit since my dad's funeral.

This pretty much:



The one on the right that is. The one on the left is very staid and unfashionable. Try any high street outfitters and ask specifically that cut, don't get palmed off with any of the older cuts.

Are you having a laugh? It's for the office - I have no idea where that would be worn.
Soovy's advice is sound, especially if on a budget.

If it's just for the office try to get that cut but wider in the leg, higher in the waist. The extra fabric in the leg makes them more comfortable when sitting down and the higher waist stops your shirt from hanging out.

Charles Tyrwhitt shirts are pretty good value. Stick to white and blue single or double cuff cut away collars e.g. click.

The no-iron range work well. Suits are good.

In a similar vein , M&S 2inch longer shirts stay tucked in well. Sartorial twill ones are good.

A few years you say?

Just take the suit you were sent down in to your tailor, save £££s.

I needed a new suit urgently as I got my beautiful Hugo Boss suit out and it had been attacked by moths.

Tried M&S and nothing felt right. Got one from one of the Charles Tyrwhitt outlets and it seems pretty good.

I've found the tips of the collars of their shirts don't last too long - I guess automatic washing machines are harsh on them. Need to find a virgin to wash them by hand.

Don't go fashionable on suits. Just go for classic lines. My oldest suit is 19 years old and in a similar style to the newest ones. Imagine if you'd gone for flares and big lapels in the 70s: you'd have had to bin all your suits come 1981.

I find they go one the cuffs first, especially where they were folded in the packet. Why do mens shirts still come in packets with bits of plastic and cardboard in them and the odd pin to get blood over your new shirt.

Just got loads of these in the sale (non iron). Seem very good quality but I've only had them a couple of weeks. Next day delivery online I seem to remember.

Exactly that. As someone probably said, "Style never goes out of fashion."

Another good example:



Nice full leg, not too short. High waist.

Definitely the way things are going and a look worth seeking out. You'll be glad you made the effort.

White shirts are for weddings and funerals.

Azure blue's definitely 'in' but I'm not sure suede shoes are right, maybe something like this?

Personal taste, but a bar collar and contrasting cuff / collar usually looks well in the office.
