A Gentleman’s Guide to a Winter Suit

As the temperature drops and the winter chill sets in, it's time to start thinking about updating your wardrobe for the season. While many men may think that winter style is all about layering, there's one essential item that should be at the top of every man's winter wardrobe list: a winter suit. Not only does a well-fitted winter suit provide warmth, but it also exudes sophistication and style.

Looking to dress to impress this winter season? Whether you're preparing for a business meeting, an event, or simply dressing for the colder weather, Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring has got you covered with both style and warmth.

Fabric


The fabric of your winter suit is perhaps the most critical factor to consider. A winter suit should be made from a heavier and denser fabric to provide insulation and warmth. Wool is the classic fabric for a winter suit as it's naturally insulating and can be woven in a variety of weights and textures. Additionally, cashmere and cashmere wool blends are excellent choices for a winter suit, as they offer exceptional warmth, luxury, and comfort. The soft, fluffy texture of cashmere provides excellent insulation while giving the suit a luxurious feel. Cashmere wool blends, on the other hand, offer the best of both worlds, combining the insulating properties of wool with the softness of cashmere. Whether you opt for pure wool or a blend, make sure the fabric is thick enough to provide warmth without adding unnecessary bulk to your suit.

Colour



When it comes to colour, dark hues are the way to go for a winter suit. Blacks, blues, and greys are all classic choices that will never go out of style. However, you can also experiment with darker shades of brown or green to add some variety to your winter wardrobe. Avoid light or bright colours, as they're not appropriate for the season and can clash with the muted winter palette.

Style



When it comes to style, a winter suit should be classic and timeless. Single-breasted, two-button suits are always a safe bet, but you can also opt for a three-piece suit if you want to add some extra warmth and style. Double-breasted suits are another option, but they're more formal and may not be appropriate for all occasions.

Fit



As with any suit, the fit is crucial. A well-fitted winter suit should be tailored to your body to provide warmth and comfort without looking bulky. A slim-fit suit is a popular choice for the modern gentleman, but it's important to make sure it's not too tight and restricts movement. Conversely, an oversized suit will not only look sloppy but will also fail to keep you warm. A bespoke suit tailor can help you achieve the perfect fit for your winter suit.

A well-fitted winter suit made from a thick, high-quality fabric in a classic style and complemented by appropriate accessories will not only keep you warm but also help you exude confidence and style during the winter season.
