How to wear a suit from work to dinner

You should not need a second outfit for the evening. A black suit that fits properly will take a morning meeting and a late dinner. What changes is how you wear it.

For the day

The Oversized Black Blazer open over the Tailored Black Trousers, with a plain top or a T shirt underneath. The shoulder is structured, so the blazer keeps its line unbuttoned. The trousers sit high on the waist, with a front crease and a straight leg that breaks over the ankle.

For dinner

Button the blazer. That is the whole change.

In white

The Oversized White Blazer is the same cut in off white. Worn open over the shoulders by day, and over a slip at night.

For a night out

At the weekend

Either blazer with denim. The trousers with a T shirt. The pieces were designed to be worn apart as often as together.

The blazers are €240 and the trousers €140, in UK sizes 8 to 14. Designed in Dublin and made in Portugal. Each piece is worn by our founder, Shauna Twamley, from a morning meeting to a late dinner before it enters the collection.
