Suiting For the Celebration Season
It is finally Spring which means we have officially hit social season. Suit up and raise a glass to a season full of fun and celebrations.
It’s that time of year again. The weather is finally warming up and people are getting ready to ditch their comforting couch and trackies for a more snazzy look. While the idea of being more social can be exciting for those who are desperate to leave their homes, it can be an expensive time of year. To help you suit up in style, we have found some of the more affordable, and just as fancy, suits from the brands doing it best.
Words By Kaylah Baker
Country Road
When it comes to Australian brands that have come a long way, Country Road is high up on the list.
Established in 1974, in Hawthorn, the brand went from starting out with just casual cotton shirts to now having an expansive range of clothing across womenswear, menswear, and kids.
Included within the menswear range are more affordable clothing options for any social event you may have popping up on your calendar. This includes suits, which can be one of the more expensive items of clothing to shop for.
Whether your upcoming event requires a formal suit-and-tie outfit, or a smart shirt with slacks look, Country Road has you covered. From the Cotton Stretch Blazer to the Travel Jacket and Pant, and the Linen Short Sleeve Shirt, Country Road is an ideal pick for getting social.
All you need to do now is RSVP yes and bring all the fun.
ASOS Design
When you think suits and dressing to impress, ASOS Design has plenty of options to keep you satisfied. Particularly when it comes to dressing for formal events and celebratory parties.
While ASOS hosts a range of brands on its site, its namesake brand was created as a more affordable option when compared to expensive designer brands. Making this time of year, a time when finding a trusty suit is a must, a lot easier.
One thing ASOS Design does extremely well is it has plenty of options. The brand has the more ritzy occasions sorted as well as those occasions that don’t have a black-tie dress code but are still worthy of some new trousers and a smart shirt.
To make life easier, the brand also has a number of head-to-toe matching options. A one-stop shop with all you will ever need, ASOS Design has the details sorted so you can just sit back and relax (or get up and dance!).
Aere
Since launching in 2019, The Iconic brand of AERE has been a major player in the fashion industry, especially when it comes to capsule wardrobes and everyday basics.
As a brand that is committed to making conscious and considered staples their heartbeat, AERE boasts of a timeless collection that nails the style of effortlessly smart with an air of sophistication.
The brand’s suits are the ideal pick for fancy events that take place on warmer days. While a traditional suit is always a great look, it is not always functional when the temperature rises. So, if you have a fear of sweating through your suit or worse (ie. fainting!), then the AERE suits are just for you.
In line with the rest of the brand’s collection, the linen suits are minimalistic and lightweight. The unstructured blazers with the pleated pants can also be dressed down or up, all the while putting your comfort first and foremost.
Oxford
As exciting as the prospect of an event can be, the chore of finding an affordable suit can be gruelling. Searching for the right suit can also be frustrating when you add up the cost, but thankfully options from brands like Oxford exist.
Established in Sydney in 1978, Oxford was created to help fill a noticeable gap between designer clothing and middle market clothing retail stores. Since this initial vision, it has continued to be valued for its designs and high quality pieces. Remaining a good alternative to designer brands.
If you are wanting to invest a little bit of money into a social season suit, but not exceed a thousand dollars on one jacket, then Oxford is the perfect fit for you.
With more classy options like the Shawl Neck Dinner Suit Jacket, and more relaxed fit looks like the Folded Cuff Linen Trousers, you are spoilt for choice, and will always look on point. So, let’s toast to that.
