Paul Smith is a British Style Icon. That pretty much sums him up in 3 words. Nothing to me epitomises the true British gentleman than Paul Smith clothes and designs. He has been at the forefront of British menswear for the best part of 3 decades producing high quality “classic” menswear. Think tailored suits, crisp shirts, plaid jackets, cuff links, and beautifully crafted shoes. It is very much formal wear but each item seems to always have a “quirky” twist to it – whether it be a now infamous striped lining to a jacket or wallet, traditional British graphic print on a bag/t-shirt or coloured soles to a pair of shoes.
The success of Paul Smith Shoes and overall business may be attributed to his understanding of his dual roles of both designer and retailer; the success of his combination of the classic and the quirky. This allows men to buy relatively traditional (and hence commercially popular) designs that offer a ‘twist’ of individuality and flair to their look. It is very popular for business men and traditionally associated with the upper class and wealthy. This shouldn’t put you off buying however as it is definitely not “stuffy” and all his formal wear just oozes class and quality.
You need to have one of his suits in your wardrobe, no matter what profession you are in. There are always formal occasions every man has to go through throughout his life and having an investment suit like Paul Smith means it will never go out of fashion and will always look right on point. Especially if you go for the traditional formal monochrome colour combinations.
He has launched a new Paul Smith Sweaters collection which MyWardrobe have picked up recently and I absolutely love. It is not to everyone’s taste, but if you are looking to freshen up your formal/work wardrobe this Spring/Summer (which all you office workers should be right now!) then look no further. The materials are quality, the cuts are sublime and they will last a lifetime. Over 30 years at the forefront of British fashion can’t be wrong.
