I’ve been wearing the same suit for a couple of years now and so this afternoon I decided it was time to buy myself something new. With the sales launching today it was the perfect time to pick up something discounted and so I headed to the Centre:MK to see what was available.
After browsing for a while I settled on a suit from Saville Row designer, Patrick Grant with a 2 piece suit from his Hammond & Co. range, priced at £72 for the jacket (down from £120) and £36 for the trousers (down from £60). I then paired this a tie from British designers, Racing Green and a classic Oxford shirt.

With a blue/grey finish “rust check” detail in the stitching, this was exactly what I was looking for from a suit that wouldn’t come across as being too formal.

The suit is also informal enough that it can easily be paired with jeans for a more casual look. Here I’ve paired it with a casual shirt from Zara Man, Wrangler Texas stretch jeans and some Adidas court vantage trainers.

I’m really happy with this purchase. The suit is really good quality, has nice detailing and was a great price at £108 in the sale.
