Paul Costelloe, a recent addition to The OUTLET provides design and fit that you won’t find on the backs of your colleagues. Here are my picks for some quality pieces of men’s formal business wear – at a fraction of the original price!
A great suit will always be a staple in any professional man’s wardrobe, I recommend opting for a navy or grey. The clean, tidy lines of this slim fit cut maintain a modern edge, while subtle details in the contrast stitching reveal the high quality. Navy Pinstripe Suit – WAS £349 NOW £199.
Choosing the right shirt is just as important as choosing the right suit: if you want shirts that will stand the test of time, go for flattering colours and simple patterns, such as this Pink Striped Shirt – WAS £59 NOW £29.
Striped Tie – WAS £29 NOW £14.50. Take a bright approach to spring office dressing with this colourful tie.
Finally, for those with an eye for detail, complete the look with these subtle yet stylish Oval Barrel Cufflinks – WAS £29 NOW £14.50
