The Suit - Autumnal Edit...•°°
Jump to: Newest in thread
Géntlemen, Lådies, Bínaries, Whatéveries and Inclusìvities - do you wear a suit or an equivalent form of smart clothing for work?
Although I relish in the tranquillity of my casual attire for 'home working', I do sometimes miss the 'two-piece' and the smart shoes. The sartorial approach was always more than just symbolic. It effused an impeccable feeling of positivity and goodness in me.
A suit. A skirt. And shoes! I'm inclined to rejuvenate this timeless classic!  |

Oh, I always wear a suit for work. Usually three-piece, accessorised by pocket squares, ties, and cufflinks. Sometimes a buttonhole for special occasions. Patent leather dress shoes when I feel like being particularly smart.
A good, well-cut suit is like a cheat-code for the game of manhood. |

I would expect nothing less from your exquisitely sartorial ensembles. One day we should amble down Jermyn Street and ogle at the affordable unaffordables, with a nod and homage to Beau Brummell. |

I have always longed for a dressing gown from New and Lingwood. Shall we start our saunter there, before popping into Turnbull and Asser, then a quick tasting at Berry Bros before lunching at my club?
We shall have to warn the local Fab ladies, of course, in case our doubly manly aspect has them coming over with a fit of the vapours. I'll soak my kerchief in sal volatile, just in case. |

I'm hoping this is a non-negotiable open invitation with sybaritic undertones?
Add to that the Davidoff cigar concessionaire around the corner. We need something to dip gingerly into our Armagnac. |

I would hope the sybaritism was overtones, but otherwise yes, including your addition. I'm all out of Cohibas, Treasurers, and Sobranie Black Russians. Perhaps a post-prandial shave at Trumper's, before a Bellini st the Rivoli bar? |

Oh you two make me chuckle, it's like the "suits you" sketch with a thesaurus shoe horned in.
I know I'm a sartorial wazzock, but you guys just remind me how much farther you can always go.
Have at it lads, I'll stick to finding mine online, my sizes are a nightmare at the best of times and I haven't done enough crime for bespoke.

I’m half & half. Today is black skinny trousers bottom half and silk blouse & pinstripe jacket top half. But to be fair my lower half is a struggle currently with the ankle situation.
My suits are smart, but are given a pink edge with the style of blouse & amount of hardware in my ears ??
I would love to be properly fitted for a 3 piece suit, but tailored to enhance my curves. Always has been a dream. |

I usually wear a formal dress, but I have to wear with (smart) trainers due to my special foot issues. I did force my foot into smarter shoes for interviews recently though 
Today, I'm wearing a white collared formal blouse with a black pinafore dress over the top |

Sounds like a date in Savile Row is in order. I think Gieves and Hawkes would work beautifully with you. |

Monochrome is always delightful! 
I'm pathologically against forcing, though. Smart trainers over pain. |

Don't mind if I do.
May I suggest that you stop off at Favourbrook for a flamboyant waistcoat to set off your attire. |

I’m currently going for the smarter-casual, i.e. smart shirts, dress shoes and smart denim trousers for work. My boss always walks around with half his arse out of his jeans so, there’s no point for me to dress smarter. |

His unkempt shirts cover his arse; that’s what’s keeping me from resigning. |

I didn't feel manager-like to present myself to external candidates in my smart trainers. The internals know the score..... |

Someone commented I always looked as if I was going to a funeral so nowadays I tend to favour dresses and jackets rather than skirt suits.
Besides, have you tired finding smart skirts these days .. nope, it’s all trousers! I won’t wear trousers for work.
Otherwise a handsome hottie in a smart suit ensemble, worn with confidence is my utter weakness .. |

Not every day, I'm routinely a chinos and shirt kind of chap.
But agree the cut of a good suit is a definite mood booster so I appreciate the days when I do wear one, and always leave one in the office so I'm not caught on the hop! |

I'm with you on the trousers DC, I just can't do it, especially at a client meeting.
I tend to opt for coloured/patterned midi skirts with a black jacket to avoid the funeral/witch look.
Nowadays, the best bit about having to (infrequently) trudge into the office is the chance to dress smartly...yes, I know I could dress like that when working from home, but it's not the same. |

A cut-throat at Geo. F. Trumper would be the perfect tonic to commence the day. However, breaking with tradition: I must insist on a Proraso™ shaving cream to grace my fine whiskers. If your olfactory desires will allow may I recommend Penhaligon's...it's worth a detour on our cobbled path before returning 'tout suite'!
Lest you forget - a quick interlude at Paxton & Whitfield for a dainty and artisan cheese gift for every forumite on this thread above, in the middle, below and the latent ones who are about to post. |

Contra the estimable Mr London, I do rather like Floris, especially as they are one of the few places to offer genuinely bespoke perfumery.
But I am happy with my current footwrar, from the late lamented Duckers of Turl Street, Oxford, so I shall stay at the Rivoli for a filthy Martini, or perhaps stroll along Piccadilly to F and M to pick up some of their winsome dark chocolate truffles, for distribution to our lovely thread denizens.

Lovely soap though, and unless their range has shrunk very recently they used to have lovely scents too - Edwardian Bouquet, among others. |

I would do almost anything for those truffles!
No hatters in Oxford for many years, however, and not really anywhere much except Lock's in London now. Since the demise of Swaine Adeney & Brigg you will have to go further East from Piccadilly for your umbrellas and walking sticks (I was going to add riding whips, but I might have been misunderstood).

I fear I’m bringing this thread down market with my half suited & not booted looks, eating my cone of chips, swigging a pint of ale.
And you would recoil in horror at my fragrance choices (off the shelf no less). Although smell quite delicious on me.
I’ll head on back to Soho where I belong |

It's lucky that I became a lady, as most of my suits were made forty years ago when I returned to England and the trousers and waistcoats have ceased to fit in recent years because of medical effects beyond my control, and skirts and dresses are more forgiving! |

I think that you will find that you may be followed there by these two gentlemen, and a nocturnal excursion there has tempted me in the past! |

"Géntlemen, Lådies, Bínaries, Whatéveries and Inclusìvities - do you wear a suit or an equivalent form of smart clothing for work?
Although I relish in the tranquillity of my casual attire for 'home working', I do sometimes miss the 'two-piece' and the smart shoes. The sartorial approach was always more than just symbolic. It effused an impeccable feeling of positivity and goodness in me.
A suit. A skirt. And shoes! I'm inclined to rejuvenate this timeless classic! "

I would expect nothing less from your exquisitely sartorial ensembles. One day we should amble down Jermyn Street and ogle at the affordable unaffordables, with a nod and homage to Beau Brummell. ....
I am assuming that you will stroll down St James's Street after luncheon as you have omitted the obligatory call on Lobb's and Lock's?
But you have already walked along Jermyn Street, so why didn't you drop into Floris?
Contra the estimable Mr London, I do rather like Floris, especially as they are one of the few places to offer genuinely bespoke perfumery.
But I am happy with my current footwrar, from the late lamented Duckers of Turl Street, Oxford, so I shall stay at the Rivoli for a filthy Martini, or perhaps stroll along Piccadilly to F and M to pick up some of their winsome dark chocolate truffles, for distribution to our lovely thread denizens.
I would do almost anything for those truffles!

"Someone commented I always looked as if I was going to a funeral so nowadays I tend to favour dresses and jackets rather than skirt suits.
Besides, have you tired finding smart skirts these days .. nope, it’s all trousers! I won’t wear trousers for work.
Otherwise a handsome hottie in a smart suit ensemble, worn with confidence is my utter weakness ..
I'm with you on the trousers DC, I just can't do it, especially at a client meeting.
I tend to opt for coloured/patterned midi skirts with a black jacket to avoid the funeral/witch look.
Nowadays, the best bit about having to (infrequently) trudge into the office is the chance to dress smartly...yes, I know I could dress like that when working from home, but it's not the same. "

There are a couple of moth-eaten gentlemen, with modest-and-almost-hottish looks, who would extend the invitation to you too (and others of course).

I am glad that you came through it well in spite of that; all too many who go to public schools or other good schools have no conception of what that must be like, and go through life continuing to be sheltered, comfortable, and privileged, without ever realising how lucky they are, or comprehending what life is like for many. |

Sorry to piss on bonfires, but the whole secret venue thing doesn't work when you have to know about disability access before signing up! Lots of venues are completely inaccessible.

Hello again Nerolatte.
This thread reminded me of a beautiful sight I saw yesterday; a woman wearing a twe*d suit. Tight straight cut trousers, white shirt unbuttoned just enough. Twe*d blazer with leather elbow patches, tousled brown hair and a simple watch adorning her wrist. I almost took a photo because it was perfect. Realised it would be creepy so didn't. But suits on women? So incredibly hot. |

Dear ex-wife, we have, in fact, reserved a seat for you on our opulent omnibus as it meanders down Jermyn Street. We would like to hear more about this sartorial spectacle.
A woman in a suit is a dapper woman. I approve. |
