The key to a great suit is getting the fit just right. A well-fitting suit jacket should sit comfortably across the shoulders, with sleeves ending at the wrist bone and allowing a hint of your dress shirt cuff to show. Suit trousers should sit at your natural waist with a clean break at the shoe. At Barkers, our suits are designed with a modern, tailored silhouette—structured yet comfortable, ensuring you look sharp for any occasion. For more details, check our fit guidelines to find your perfect match.
A great suit is all about the perfect fit, and sometimes that requires a few finishing touches. While our suits are designed for a sharp, tailored silhouette straight off the rack, minor alterations can help refine the fit even further. We recommend visiting your local store to aRrange for adjustments like hemming trousers or cuffs for a custom feel. Need guidance? Our team is happy to advise on the best tailoring options to get your suit just right.
Decoding dress codes can be tricky, but we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to know:
Black Tie – The height of formal dressing. A classic black tuxedo, white dress shirt, black bow tie, and polished dress shoes are non-negotiable. Add a waistcoat or a well-tailored three-piece suit for extra refinement.
Formal / Black Tie Optional – A step down from Black Tie but still sleek. A dark suit (navy, charcoal, or black) with a crisp dress shirt and tie will do the job. A three-piece suit adds an elevated touch.
Cocktail Attire – Polished but with personality. A tailored suit, dress shirt, and tie (optional) strike the perfect balance between formal and relaxed. Feel free to experiment with textures and subtle patterns.
Smart Casual – Think effortless sophistication. A blazer, dress trousers or chinos, and a collared shirt create a refined yet relaxed look. No tie required.
For any dress code, a three-piece suit offers versatility—wear the full set for a sharp, structured look, or lose the waistcoat when the occasion calls for something a little more laid-back.
