Suit with a difference: Fresh impulses for the classic

Inour last post, we celebrated the classic suit as a timeless statement. This week, we're focusing on a modern interpretation of the suit, which impresses with fresh cuts and sophisticated combinations.

An innovative approach is the use of an "informal jacket" instead of the traditional suit jacket. With its functional and urban appeal, it offers a modern alternative, yet remains elegant and versatile when combined with suit trousers. Equally exciting is the use of knitwear elements : A high-quality knit sweater under the suit top replaces the classic shirt and gives the outfit a relaxed yet stylish touch – perfect for a modern business look with a touch of casualness.

The mix of materials also brings a breath of fresh air to the wardrobe. It's especially interesting when textured fabrics like wool, tweed, or flannel meet patterns like chalk stripes or checks. These combinations create depth and give the suit an individual, distinctive look.

PS: We tailor all the looks shown to your specifications – from a suit with an informal jacket to a knitted sweater and Chelsea boots.
