Men's Work Suits
Business suits for men. What is business, it is a person's regular occupation, profession, or trade. Percival's business is men's work suits and business is good. It's busy. Percival tailoring experts typically conduct their business over the internet. But that is fine, as they and you can look good on teams or in person in Percival tailoring. Stylish not stiff work suits for men for interviews, board meetings, the best of business.
Workwear Suits
Work suits have traditionally suffered from two problems. Too stiff, or too boring. The modern men’s work suit should feel somewhere in the middle. Sharp enough for meetings, relaxed enough for the train home with your tie stuffed in your pocket and a slightly questionable dinner reservation ahead. Think soft tailoring, easy layering, and premium fabrics that can survive a full working week without looking like they have just done one too.
What Makes a Great Men's Work Suit?
A proper work suit should survive the full day with you still wanting to wear it by six o'clock. Morning meeting, coffee spill, lunchtime panic, post work pint, all handled without the jacket collapsing into a sad office chair heap. Percival work suits are cut with enough structure to look sharp, but never so stiff that you feel trapped inside them. Think clean tailoring, soft construction, and fabrics that move properly. The best bit is versatility. The blazer works just as well with pieces from our shirts collection as it does layered over a knit polo when the office dress code gets blurry around Friday afternoon.
And yes, you unbutton it when sitting down. Unless your goal is to spend dinner looking vacuum packed.
How to Wear a Casual Work Suit
The secret to a casual work suit is making it look like you did not spend forty minutes thinking about it. Swap the tie for an open collar shirt. Trade polished shoes for loafers or clean trainers. Wear the blazer over a lightweight knitted polo and suddenly the whole thing feels less corporate away day, more gallery opening in East London.
Separates do a lot of heavy lifting too. Suit trousers with a polo. Blazer with chinos. Even a crisp tee underneath if the office leans creative rather than clipboard. A good work suit should not only exist between Monday and Friday.
Which Work Suit Fabric Should You Choose?
Linen is brilliant for summer offices where the air conditioning has given up completely by midday. Breathable and lightly rumpled in a way that actually improves as the day goes on. Pair it with pieces like our long sleeve shirts or a cuban collar shirt and you are halfway to looking like you summer in the Mediterranean.
How to Choose the Right Work Suit Colour
Navy is still king. There is a reason every well dressed bloke owns one. It works with white shirts, blue shirts, knitted polos, loafers, trainers, terrible weather, good lighting, the lot.
Then you have the colours that make people quietly ask where the suit is from. Forest green with a roll neck from the knitwear feels rich without trying too hard. Merlot works brilliantly in softer fabrics and evening light. The trick is choosing colours that fit into your wardrobe naturally rather than buying something loud and hoping your personality catches up later.
