There once was a time when suits were considered boring, constricting and uninspiring. From the high street to the high end some of our favourite designers have taken a fresh approach to tailoring with classic cuts and not so classic colours, revamping the traditional work staple beyond the office.
Forget neutral-hued corporate clothing, these co-ordinating two-pieces have been transformed with infinite variations in colour, fit and price.
Since Coco Chanel designed the first suit for the female form in 1914, feminine tailoring has come leaps and bounds to become the embodiment of power dressing.
No matter your line of work, a suit is a wardrobe staple. Whether you want to elevate your office wear, are opting for a relaxed daytime vibe paired with trainers, or perhaps donning a sleek tuxedo you cannot underestimate the versatility of a suit.
From pastels to pinstripes and rendered in every colour of the rainbow, we have gathered our favourite suiting for all shapes, sizes and budgets.
