Double-breasted suits have a timeless elegance - it's something about the way they make you hold yourself. Do yourself a favour and invest in one this season. In our humble opinion, this one from Louis Vuitton is the best money can buy

This is our favourite of the lower-price suits. It's made of nice fabric and it hangs surprisingly well. If you aren't sure about double-breasted on your frame (and you will be surprised how many body shapes they do suit), this could be the purchase to break you in Photograph: PR

As everyday work suits go, this is hard to beat. Remove commuting creases by holding the jacket over a boiling kettle and save a fortune on dry cleaning Photograph: PR

Introduce some texture into your wardrobe with velvet. Forget the old thick, bulky pile of 70s velvet. This is super-lightweight, another fabric innovation from the house of Lanvin. Keep it cool by styling with a pair of heavy military boots Photograph: PR

This blazer has the look of a sea captain about it. However, teaming it with sports-cut trousers, as Neil Barrett suggests, immediately updates it and propels you into cutting-edge territory. If that feels too fashion-forward, the blazer works equally well with plain trousers Photograph: PR

A staple piece to add to your suit collection for autumn/winter. We love the blue lining and feel at this price the suit is a steal. Be brave and go for a lilac check shirt and purple tie - the ladies love an adventurous man! Photograph: PR

This is a classic gentleman's suit. Ede & Ravenscroft have been catering to the tailoring needs of London's well-heeled gentlemen since 1689. What they don't know about suits isn't worth knowing ... Photograph: PR
