5 spring suits for every budget
Words: Charlie Thomas
Spring is an interesting time of year, especially when it comes to your wardrobe. In England much of spring is plagued with rain, yet there are occasions when the sun creeps out and summer optimism floods in. With warmer weather comes lighter materials and colours – we know that much. But spring is also a great time of year if you want to try something new or something slightly different from your usual attire. Why not re-invent yourselves, gentlemen?
Here are 5 spring suits for every budget.
£100
NEXT
For a modernist take on tailoring, three buttons are the only way to go. This slim-cut suit from Next boasts a subtle Prince of Wales check and with the option of a waistcoat for only £35 extra, it offers exceptional versatility.
Next Grey Check Suit, £99 from Next
£300
SUIT SUPPLY
Pinstripes are back, as evident from the large support they received at the last two London Collections: Men events here in the capital. Put your own spin on the trend with this wool/silk-blend two-piece finished in a striking-yet-wearable mid-blue.
Suit Supply Washington Blue Stripe, £299 from Suit Supply
£500
REISS
Introducing pattern to your wardrobe is a difficult yet extremely rewarding exercise. For those new to the game, incorporating subtle checks such as on this Reiss suit is the way forward.
Reiss Shotel Three-Piece Check Suit, £495 from Reiss
£700
J.CREW
Spring is all about veering away from the dark, depressing colours of winter. Enter this light charcoal number from J. Crew, complete with anti-wrinkle Italian wool fabric.
J. Crew Crosby Traveller Suit, £700 from J. Crew
£1000+
JIL SANDER
That said, you can’t go wrong with a dark blue suit. The little touches make all of the difference though, and the breathable, textured seersucker and navy and black micro-check pattern will make you stand out for all the right reasons.
