Five secrets to the perfect suit

A suit has to sit comfortably around the neck 

"A good tailored jacket should frame the face, if it doesn't fit properly there, it won't elsewhere."

Pay attention to colour

"See what the cloth does for your complexion. If you opt for a bold statement shade or check, think about how it will fit in your wardrobe."

Get the right sleeve length

"Consider the shirt you're going to wear with it - is it single or double cuff? - and allow for that in the length."

Avoid extreme trends

"If you're having something made bespoke, it must have longevity."

Accessorise with contemporary pieces 

"Make sure that the suit itself always errs on the side of classic."
