A suit that has been tailored to fit will stand the test of time in terms of both style and longevity. Although you might not wear it often, whenever the occasion arises it will feel special and unique to you. 

Men, it might be from your wedding, or the suit you spent your first paycheck on (if it still fits). Women it could be the pencil skirt and matching jacket that you wore to your first office job, or if you’re like me, you might have an ‘interview blazer’ that made you look more polished to prospective employers.

Now tailoring is integrated into our everyday wear, being dressed down with a t-shirt and trainers, or elevating simple separates. Tailoring with a twist is what we’re seeing more of – blazers with a wrap waist, split hem trousers, pop colours and velvet (remember Prince William in emerald green?) have all been trends over the last year, and the modern updates continue to keep tailoring interesting and relevant.
