I need a suit

[ExpatForLife]

My work dress code is casual - think Uniqlo. I have an event coming up that needs a suit. It’s been so long since I’ve shopped for more business formal stuff that I don’t know where to start. I can go slightly higher end for an investment piece (due to a role change I’m likely to use it again).

Suggestions? Where do you shop for your business formal stuff these days?

If you have an investment budget, The Fold.

If slightly less, Hobbs is reliable and Reiss also good.

I often wear a dress from somewhere like LK Bennett with a blazer rather than a full suit

@BillyNoProblems thank you - I’m now going down a rabbit hole on The Fold site. It’s at the high end of my budget but their stuff looks exactly like what I’m after.

The Fold is brilliant, it's my go to for speaking engagements, board meetings etc. Keep an eye out for sales, I've got most of my items on sale

I’d vote for The Fold too. It’s my most complimented workwear and wears extremely well so worth picking up on Vinted/ eBay

Brilliant thank you!

So The Fold is awesome. The salespeople at the shop in Chelsea were amazing and I now have a lovely navy blue outfit for my trip (adding in a blouse from LK Bennett I picked up on sale). Thanks for the advice.

@ExpatForLife I’m glad that you’re sorted now. The navy seems to be consistent over time so you can add other pieces too
