The 10 best suits to buy for autumn under £1,000

As this week’s weather will testify, the summer is unfortunately on its way out. Autumn is beginning to rear its head and as the raincoats and umbrellas make an appearance over the next few days, it’s time to give mind, and bank balance for that matter, to next season’s wardrobe.

Your suiting should be changing with the equinox. It’s time to start thinking about retiring the cotton and warm weather suiting for another six months – making way for heavier wools and fabric blends. With that on the brain, here’s your sartorial shortlist (or shopping list) for the coming fall.

WHISTLES

A more casual option, this deconstructed blazer maintains some of the comforts of the summer – perfect for the smart-casual affair.

Deconstructed Blazer, £195.00, Slim Fit Tailored Trousers, £110.00, both by Whistles

REISS

The suit you didn’t know you needed; this brown hue is more versatile than you think, ideal for the office and after dark.

Smokey Wool Suit, £425.00 by Reiss

Your new evening suit, the rich burgundy is exactly what you need for the coming party season.

Menenzies Slim-Fit Blazer, £275.00, Menenzies Slim-Fit Trousers, £115.00, both by Reiss

HUGO BOSS

The ultimate everyday tailored two-piece. Timeless, classic and versatile, you can’t ask for much more.

Specifically designed to resist creases and wrinkles, this is the only option when it comes to the continental business trips.
