Light, bright shades take the original workwear fabric into prime occasion territory.
BECAUSE WHAT’S LIFE WITHOUT A BIT OF COLOUR
Cord suits are back, reworked for the new season with bold shades and a slightly more relaxed construction. We’ve softened the shoulders and added jet pockets for a sleeker, smarter look. Medium wale cord offers a softer handfeel with just the right amount of texture, and a wider lapel adds a vintage feel to the jacket. Wear them as casual separates with mock necks and t-shirts or together as a full suit with a shirt and tie.
A cool, wearable colour, duck egg is a winner at weddings. A great alternative to navy, it’s a lighter, brighter way to showcase your personality without diving too deep into bold tones. If it’s a more casual affair, wear the jacket unbuttoned over a t-shirt or a roll neck if the temperature drops.
Yellow might not be your first point of call for a suit, but our take is a lemony hue that feels wearable. If you want to break up the colour a bit, wear the jacket and trousers as separates. Pair the blazer with light coloured chinos and a casual t-shirt, while the trouser will do well with a black mock neck if you’re feeling particularly bold.
If bright colours really aren’t your thing, invest in a neutral toned cord like this sage that will see you through everything from work, to dates, to weddings. The narrow wales (that’s the ribs found in cord fabric) gives the impression of having a slight sheen, elevating the suit and adding a little something extra. Combine with light knits and crisp white trainers.
