Men’s formalwear is all about achieving the perfect balance – blending style, versatility, and sophistication to create an outfit that makes an impact. At Knighthood, we take the guesswork out of dressing sharp by offering an extensive range of formal essentials from some of the most renowned brands in the industry. From tailored blazers and smart trousers to waistcoats and classic shirts, each piece is designed to help you create a polished, cohesive look. Our versatile selection is designed for effortless mix-and-match styling, so you can build outfits that suit your personal taste and keep you looking sharp year-round, no matter the season.
Here’s how to build a sharp, tailored look using our impressive formalwear collection:
1. Start with a Suit Blazer
A well-fitted blazer is the cornerstone of any formal outfit. Whether you prefer a classic single-breasted blazer or a more contemporary double-breasted style, Knighthood offers a wide range of options that provide both comfort and sophistication.
- For a classic look, opt for a navy or charcoal grey blazer. These timeless colours are perfect for any event, from business meetings to semi-formal gatherings.
- For a modern twist, try a check or patterned blazer. It adds personality while still maintaining a refined appearance.
Pair your blazer with a sharp pair of smart trousers, and you’re well on your way to a stylish ensemble. Or keep it casual with a pair of jeans for a more relaxed look.
2. Choose the Right Smart Trousers
Smart trousers are an essential part of any formal outfit, and at Knighthood, we offer a selection that ensures both comfort and style.
- Flat-front trousers provide a sleek, streamlined silhouette that’s ideal for most occasions.
- Tailored-fit trousers offer a slightly looser fit without compromising on elegance.
-
Slim-fit trousers provide a modern, tapered look that’s perfect for more fashion-forward ensembles.
Remember, trousers can be easily mixed and matched with different blazers, so don’t hesitate to experiment with colour and fabric. A grey pair of trousers can easily be paired with a navy blazer, while a black trouser can work well with lighter tones for a more contemporary look.
3. Add a Waistcoat for Extra Elegance
The waistcoat is a great way to elevate your outfit. Whether you're aiming for a formal, matching look or prefer to add a touch of personality by mixing textures, a waistcoat from Knighthood makes a stylish addition to your wardrobe.
- For a traditional formal look, opt for a waistcoat in the same fabric and colour as your suit for a matching ensemble. This creates a cohesive, sharp look that's perfect for weddings or important events.
- For a modern approach, pair a contrasting waistcoat with your blazer and trousers. A patterned waistcoat against a solid-coloured suit adds an interesting visual dimension and is perfect for more relaxed yet stylish occasions.
4. Mix and Match for Versatility
One of the greatest benefits of shopping at Knighthood is the ability to mix and match suit separates. You can easily create multiple looks by pairing different blazers, trousers, and waistcoats. For instance:
- Pair a classic grey blazer with navy trousers for a business-ready look, and switch to black trousers for an evening out.
- A blue blazer can be matched with grey trousers for a more relaxed, yet still smart, appearance, perfect for a day event or dinner party.
The possibilities are endless when you combine different pieces, and mixing and matching allows you to build a versatile, stylish wardrobe that works year-round.
5. Don't Forget the Formal Shirt
A well-fitted formal shirt is essential for completing your perfect look. At Knighthood, we offer a range of high-quality smart shirts that complement our blazers, trousers, and waistcoats. Whether you're aiming for a sleek, modern style or a more classic formal look, the right shirt can elevate your outfit.
- White and light blue shirts are timeless choices that pair well with almost any combination of blazers and trousers. These colours are versatile and ideal for both business settings and formal events
- For those who want to make a statement, opt for shirts with subtle patterns like stripes or checks. Alternatively, a shirt in a vibrant colour can add personality to your outfit while still maintaining a polished, professional appearance.
6. Dressing for Different Occasions and Seasons
We know that formalwear is not one-size-fits-all. That's why we’ve made sure our collection offers options suitable for both the cooler months and warmer weather, as well as formal and semi-formal occasions.
- For winter: Choose heavier fabrics like wool or tweed for added warmth. A dark blazer, coordinated trousers, and a textured waistcoat will keep you stylish and cosy.
- For summer: Lighter fabrics such as linen or cotton are perfect for hot weather. Opt for light-coloured blazers, paired with smart, breathable trousers. You can still layer up with a waistcoat but look for more breathable materials.
Whether it’s a business conference, a wedding, or a night out, Knighthood’s formalwear collection has everything you need to look your best throughout the year.
