Winter-Ready Suits: The Best Looks to Keep You Warm and Stylish

Choosing and Buying Winter Suits

What do you wear to a formal event in the winter? If you’re still wearing your summer suits, read on to find out how you can make the most of the season and embrace new looks that reflect the winter vibe. There are several options in the winter, including heavier textures and colours that will keep you toasty as well as ensuring that you look great throughout the colder months. 

Here at Suits, we have a great selection of suits that are perfect for the winter and we will be happy to help you find the best options for you and your lifestyle. Updating your suit wardrobe gives you the opportunity to explore heavier suits that are made from more substantial fabrics, protecting you from the elements and making the right impact at your special occasions or at work.

 

Three piece suits

A three piece suit is ideal when it gets colder, giving you the sophistication and extra layering effect you need to get through the winter in style. A waistcoat is a classy addition to a more casual two piece suit, and this is especially practical in the winter when the weather is unpredictable. 

A three piece suit made from a wool or tweed blend is a great choice for the winter, and you can be bolder with your colour choices to embrace deep or rich tones that are evocative of this time of the year. There’s nothing wrong with a sleek black or navy suit, but you can also step out of the box and experiment with reds, greens and browns when the winter comes around. 

We love the Kris Tan Check Tweed Three Piece Suit, a timeless style that is perfect for a special event in the winter. The slim fit is flattering, as you would expect from Marc Darcy, and the rich browns with Prince of Wales check detail give a Lord of the Manor look that is sure to turn heads. Simply add a pocket square in a complementary colour, such as a red tone, a deep orange or a contrasting brown, and co-ordinate your tie for a put together winter look. Alternatively, you can wear this suit as a two piece with a turtleneck sweater underneath for a more casual outfit. 

 

Textured Fabrics

Materials such as wool and tweed have been used to make suits for many years, and you can make the most of heavier fabrics like this when you are buying a suit in the winter. There are many different patterns, including check and herringbone weave, available to bring an extra touch of interest to your suit, and you may be drawn to velvet suits that really stand out from the crowd if you have the attitude to pull off this look. 

Heavy fabrics look great at this time of the year, giving your outfit some depth and allowing you to play with more daring styles than you might wear during the rest of the year. The Morris Blue Tweed Check Three Piece Suit is certainly unusual, and we love the bold colour scheme in classic wool mix tweed. It’s a slim fitting style with a single breasted jacket and notched lapels, and the stylish lining finishes off the look. 

If you’re looking for something extra special, you’ll certainly be noticed in the Simon Wine Velvet Jacquard Three Piece Suit. This striking look combines a gorgeous wine coloured velvet jacket, waistcoat and pair of trousers with a sleek black lapel, pocket trim and buttons for a truly standout style. A black pocket square and classic white shirt sets this suit off to perfection and you’ll wish you had more occasions to show it off! This suit is also available in navy or black if the wine feels a little too far out of your comfort zone.  

 

Rich Colours

Bold colours work well in the winter, and this trend gives you a chance to really embrace a new look that you haven’t tried before. Deep colours such as reds and greens are perfect for the festive season, and rich navy shades are ideal for the office at this time of the year. 

We really like the Chigwell Blue Tweed Check Three Piece Suit for an understated touch of class, with the contrasting tan buttons that add a stunning finishing touch. This will take you from your desk to the Christmas drinks do without any stress and simply changing your tie and pocket square can dress this gorgeous outfit up or down effortlessly. 

The Max Wine Three Piece Suit is a popular choice and again, this can be worn for a more formal workplace or for a special event. This eye-catching suit features a subtle diamond textured fabric and the wine tortoiseshell buttons add a touch of elegance to this suave ensemble. 

 

Accessorise Yourself

Accessorising a suit can be fun, and in the winter months, this means pairing your suit with a great scarf and an overcoat you love. You can choose a scarf in a colour that matches your suit or contrast by introducing a pop of colour. Gloves and hats will add a touch of class to your look and will help you to stay warm, whatever the weather, and boots are an excellent addition for the winter, keeping your feet warmer as well as looking extra sharp. 

Your tie can make a big difference to the overall effect of your outfit and you might even try a knitted tie or a cravat to change up your look. If you’re wearing a tuxedo, you’ll want a classic bow tie to finish off your look, and a three piece suit will usually work best with a traditional tie in a colour that complements your suit and matches your pocket square. Finding the right accessories can change the look of your outfit dramatically, so take your time to explore the options and let us help you create the perfect combination to reflect your personality and your style.
