Suits for the season
Four suits that define the season to come.
FOUR SUITS FOR AUTUMN/WINTER 24
As the weather shifts into transeasonal territory, it’s time to up your suit game. Whether you’ve got a wedding coming up, or simply want to change up your work wardrobe, a good suit for the autumn months is worth the investment.
From flannels to classic tweeds to cotton-rich cords, we’ve created a range where there’s something for everyone, every budget and every sort of plan. Here are four standout pieces from the collection, as chosen by our team.
Relaxed brown flannel suit
As men’s tailoring moves into a more relaxed direction, it’s worth looking into this modern cut seeing how you can incorporate it into your wardrobe. You can learn more about our relaxed fit suits here, but essentially our take features softer, dropped shoulders and has a looser fit around the chest. As for the trousers, they are widened slightly at the base and seat, allowing for an overall roomier feel. The brown flannel is another great addition to our collection – in a deep, autumnal colour that keys into the trend for brown tailoring, the flannel fabric works just as well for the transeasonal months as it does for deep winter. Wear it over Oxford shirts or tonal knitwear for a cohesive look.
Sage corduroy suit
Cord has made a comeback, and it makes sense why – crafted from a soft ridged cotton, corduroy suits rose in popularity during the 70s, but fell off the radar a bit later to make way for lighter styles. Now, the modern cord suits feature finer wales and contemporary cuts, making them sleeker than their vintage counterparts. Cotton-rich with a bit of added stretch, our take is in double breasted form, cut to a tailored fit that has just the right amount of give. The sage colour is perfect for the transeasonal period due to its versatility – pair with white trainers and matching mock neck for easy weekend style, or swap out the knit for a smart shirt if you’re heading to an autumn wedding.
Tweed suit
Tweed will never go out of style, especially for the cooler months. Thick and durable with a slight texture, it’s a heritage fabric that has stood the test of time, popular for weddings, races and the like. This season’s tweeds are woven with flecks of silk, offering a slightly softer handfeel and a visibly speckled appearance that adds depth to the fabric. It also comes a three piece, if you fancy smartening it up or are going somewhere that requires a more formal dress code. We’ve chosen a soft duck egg colour, a muted blue that will brighten up any winter wedding, and a light gold tone that feels traditional enough to wear to a special event, but can be styled as separates too.
