The suits every man should own


We know a thing or two about suiting. So believe us when we say, when it comes to tailoring, less is often more. A few hard-working BOSS suits will see you through work events and formal occasions. With various styles, cuts and colours in our range to choose from, selecting the best suit to fit your needs can be challenging. How many suits should a man own? For guidance, and to strengthen your tailoring portfolio, we’ve put together a list of the five suit styles that are a must in any man's wardrobe.

The business suit

An impeccably fitting business suit is one of the few pieces truly worth your investment. A simple, single-breasted silhouette can be worn dressed up or down for increased flexibility. For everyday, opt for a suit crafted in mid-weight wool with a touch of stretch. Depending on your profession, we recommend you should own a minimum of three business suits, but if you buy only one colour, we recommend classic navy.

In summer, finding the effortless balance between style and comfort is the ultimate challenge. During these warmer months, light, breathable materials such as linen or cotton are ideal, and contrast buttons will give your suit a smart-casual feel.
