The holiday season is here, which means a flurry of work events, private dinners, festive meet-ups and the big end-of-year event.
Given the range of things-to-do over the next few weeks, some may think a lengthy trip to the shops might be in order. But with a few good staples, that couldn’t be further than the truth.
Marks & Spencer’s has a range of new suits that can be dressed-up or down depending on the occasion. And no matter how you choose to wear them, they are certainly appropriate for just about every event this season might throw at you (including the New Year).
Check out our guide below:
The Checked Suit
Suit jacket, AED475; Suit trouser, AED350; all Marks & Spencer
There is nothing better to help bring a breath of fresh air to tailoring than a patterned check suit. Although the very idea of this can be daunting, even for the most sartorially sharp gentleman, the key to wearing this modern suit is to keep it subtle. Ensuring the outfit is quiet and no mixing of clashing patterns is essential in standing out without going over the top.
The Black Suit
Suit jacket, AED795; Suit trouser, AED595; all Marks & Spencer
Polished, elegant and timeless wherever you are, you really can’t go wrong with wearing a black suit. Although, the classic white shirt and black tie combo was seen heavily at the shows this season, why not pair it with a matching black roll neck, a nautical stripe or even a pastel gingham shirt to freshen things up. Whatever you choose this Wool Rich and Stretch suit from Marks & Spencer will sort you out.
The Coloured Suit

Bold colour tailoring has continued to take a leading role in suiting throughout modern menswear. It makes a great entry point for guys who usually shy away from colour, especially with shades like teal or burgundy in slim-fit suits. This suit from Marks and Spencer works perfectly dressed down with light denim shirts, a pop of colour or clean white sneakers.
The Charcoal Suit

A well-tailored dark grey suit is every man’s wardrobe essential. It is particularly versatile, can be used for most occasions and adds an air of maturity or age. Pairing it with a classic t-shirt, an autumnal polo knit, a grandad collar shirt or a plaid flat cap though brings a fresh twist.
The Seperates Suit
Suit jacket, AED550; Suit trouser, AED310; all Marks & Spencer
When a man doesn’t want to fit into traditional full tailoring, the ability to style mismatched blazers and trousers can come in handy—especially if you have a lot of sportswear in your wardrobe. Pairing it with a lightweight gilet (like the machine washable, stormwear technology, down and feather one below), a hoody or a preppy baseball cap has some serious show-stopping potential.
Marks & Spencer
All men should own a timeless suit (or three) and there isn’t much better than the men’s tailoring at Marks & Spencer. Known for its impeccable craftsmanship and evergreen designs, the iconic British brand delivers not just any suit but a modern suit that can be worn in so many versatile ways.
