Part Two - The Deep Palette for Men: Bold Sophistication in Tailored Style

May 2, 2026

Look 6 — Deep Plum Double Breasted Suit: After Dark Authority

Deep Plum Double Breasted Bespoke Suit

Deep plum — aubergine, purple-tinged, and darkly luxurious — is the evening suit of the Deep Palette. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating an almost velvet-like quality that is inherently dramatic. In a double breasted cut, it becomes one of the most distinguished evening looks in contemporary menswear.

Worn with a white shirt, no tie, a white silk pocket square, and black polished Oxfords, this is a suit for awards evenings, gala dinners, and any occasion after 7pm where you intend to be the most well-dressed person in the room.

Best for: Evening galas, black tie events, weddings (groom), formal dinners

Shirt pairing: White only — the contrast is essential

Accessory tip: Black shoes, white pocket square, zero other accessories. Restraint is everything.

Look 7 — Dark Teal 3-Piece Suit: The Unexpected Masterstroke

Dark Teal 3-Piece Bespoke Suit

Teal is having a moment in bespoke tailoring — and dark petrol teal, in particular, is one of the most distinctive formal suit colours available to the deep-palette man. It has the cool depth of blue and the richness of green, occupying a space between the two that is entirely its own.

A 3-piece dark teal suit — waistcoat, sharply cut jacket and trousers, white shirt, silver tie bar — is the suit for the man who knows his colours, knows his craft, and wants both to show. This is tailoring as self-expression.

Best for: Weddings, creative industry events, formal occasions, confident style-forward dressing

Shirt pairing: White — always

Accessory tip: Silver tie bar, silver cufflinks — cool metals for a cool colour

Look 8 — Jet Black 2-Piece Suit: Non-Negotiable

Jet Black 2-Piece Bespoke Suit

Black. The colour that ends the conversation. In a bespoke jet black 2-piece, there is nowhere to hide and no need to. The cut, the drape, the fit — everything is exposed and amplified. For deep-palette men, black creates the ultimate high-contrast statement with a white shirt: sharp, powerful, cinematic.

Slim cut, peaked lapels, white shirt, black silk tie, white pocket square, black patent Oxfords. This is Bond. This is the standard every other suit is measured against.

Best for: Black tie, evening events, formal weddings, any occasion requiring maximum presence

Shirt pairing: White only

Accessory tip: Black silk tie and white pocket square. Immovable. Classic. Perfect.

Look 9 — Deep Olive Double Breasted Suit: The Considered Risk

Deep Olive Double Breasted Bespoke Suit

Deep olive in a double breasted cut is a considered risk that pays off spectacularly for the right man. It sits at the darkest end of the green spectrum — almost military, almost khaki, but with none of the casual associations. In a sharp 6-button double breasted suit, it becomes something truly powerful.

Worn with a white shirt, gold tie bar, and dark tan Oxfords, the deep olive double breasted is the suit for the man who has mastered conventional dressing and is ready to move beyond it — without losing any of the authority.

Best for: Formal creative events, autumn weddings, occasions where distinctive style is valued

Shirt pairing: White or light stone

Accessory tip: Gold tie bar and tan leather — the warm contrast brings the look to life

Look 10 — Midnight Navy Pinstripe 3-Piece Suit: The Ultimate Power Suit

Midnight Navy Pinstripe 3-Piece Bespoke Suit

If the plain midnight navy 3-piece is the boardroom standard, the pinstripe version is the boardroom pinnacle. The vertical chalk stripe elongates the silhouette, adds depth and texture, and signals a man who takes his tailoring seriously — and has done for some time.

This is our most requested corporate commission: a midnight navy chalk pinstripe 3-piece with peak lapels, matching waistcoat, white shirt, silver tie, and black Oxfords. Worn precisely. Pressed immaculately. Fitted to within a millimetre of perfection.

Best for: High-level business events, City formal wear, weddings (groom or father), power occasions

Shirt pairing: White — the pinstripe does the work

Accessory tip: Silver tie, black Oxfords, gold watch — restrained luxury all the way
