Embrace the two-tone jacquard woven with the signature horsebit motif on this beautiful Gucci suit; a dynamic salute to the storied Italian house’s equestrian heritage. To modernise Gucci’s retro spirit, choose polished accompaniments, like these patent shoes by Tom Ford.

Here’s a delicious proposition from Gabriela Hearst: swerve corporate black, navy or grey tailoring and opt for a relaxed olive-green suit instead. Continue the green theme with this Namacheko shirt and match your shoes to that graphic black collar – martini garnish optional.

This is peak Giorgio Armani: a sharp, double-breasted silhouette that’s smart enough for wedding guests and grooms alike. Very James Bond, too, if dressed up with a bow tie, and far from boring over a collarless shirt – just nonchalantly push up the sleeves. Mission accomplished.

Can men be glamorous? Yes. Look how the light hits this glossy brown Tom Ford suit, exclusive to MATCHESFASHION. A single-tone after-hours option that feels even more decadent thanks to the contrasting textures. Plus, that fine-knit base layer doesn’t disrupt the streamlined cut.

Less is more; don’t obscure this sophisticated Saint Laurent look under a jacket. These minimalist pieces have collective and individual merits – strong shoulders define this fluid shirt, shown here tucked into lean black trousers. Step it up with a pair of heeled boots.
