city slick
quality suits
for the most incredible English bespoke tailoring, look to Oliver Woo - www.oliverwoo.com who is a favorite of the Goldman Sachs boys, or to Dublin based Louis Copeland. Otherwise go to Duncan Quinn for something a little more colourful and cutting-edge.
'elegantly casual' suits at Scabal. Suits which are very en vogue yet timeless at the same time. As all the god Savile Row tailors you'll find ready-to-wear suits and of course made-to-measure. If you're looking for a quality suit then do not forget Scabal.
safe & classic with Aquascutum.
on a budget - we found that Reiss have some very affordable classic suits.
perfect shirts at Thomas Pink who have, and always will have the most perfect collection of shirts. Otherwise discover www.etonshirts.co.uk for 'wrinkle-free' shirts!
and great accessories have a roam around www.brooksbrothers.com, we like the Silver Classic Button cuff links -
or for something really special, get prize winning James Todd to hand engrave a pair for you. After working for Cartier and Tiffany, James has recently set up his own engraving business - what better recommendation can you have!
and for some smart shoes (credit-crunch friendly) don't rule out Office, we found they had a very respectable collection.
for the all important tie
you'll find all the classics at Hermes - but do expect the rather large price tag. Go for classic silk ties, secret pocket ties, or even silk squares, even shop by the colour you are looking for.
or perhaps try Duchamp London where you'll find bundles of colour and pattern; floral, paisely and stripes all in gorgeous handmade silk. Their slogan 'Keep it Sharp, Keep it Lively' is really the epitome of everything you'll find on the website.
Hawes and Curtis have a great collection of silk ties for a fraction of these prices - so do have a look. Especially good if you have something particular in mind, or something pretty simple.
to look super slick don't forget the pockerchief, we love the small collection we've seen at Liberty - colourful, smart printed silk. Exclusive Liberty of London prints.
