Helping you through the party season with on-trend, affordable tailoring.
Unless you are James Bond or a red carpet regular, you probably don’t have the need to wear a tux all that often. So having more than one dinner suit hanging in your wardrobe would most definitely be described a luxury over necessity.
However, the competitively priced blue tonic dinner suit, introduced especially for the party season by Burton, is so forgiving on the pocket that we can’t help but think owning a more on-trend back-up to the traditional black tux isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Impeccably tailored, with a slim fit, the two-piece suit with notch lapels and angled pockets is crafted from a fabric that blends two different shades of blue yarns, giving a retro Mad Men tonic effect which changes in the light. Part of the Black Label premium range that Burton has created to specialise in more refined tailoring, it’s worth remembering that the company was responsible for the ivory tux worn by Sean Connery as 007 in Goldfinger — its credentials can’t get much better than that.
Tuxedo £139, white twill shirt £30 and bow tie £6 all by BURTON BLACK LABEL; burton.co.uk
