Jeremy Hackett - The Mr Classic Blog

People say that moving house is the most stressful thing a person can do, but in my opinion job interviews come a close second. We’ve all been there, and as such we all know that it’s important to dress appropriately.

Of course, ‘appropriately’ is entirely subjective and depends on the type of job you are going for.

If it is a traditional professional job like banking or legal then it is appropriate to wear a suit, shirt, and tie and clean shoes - it's surprising how many people will look at your footwear. If your potential job is in a more creative area then you can afford to dress more casually, though never scruffily.


What is important is that whatever you choose to wear, ensure you feel comfortable in it, that way your personality will shine through.

To help give you an edge, why not head over to the Hackett website and peruse some of the business shirts and ties available? While success is not guaranteed, classic British style most certainly is.

Have you ever been puzzled over formal dress nomenclature when it comes to summer weddings? If so, I would wager that the definition of ‘lounge suit’ has been the culprit.

Invariably, if you’ve been instructed to don a lounge suit for such an event, it means that you should wear a plain dark two piece suit. Simple.

However, if you feel like trying something a tad more contemporary, then I would suggest opting for a single breasted one- or two-button suit with plain trousers and a narrow leg. If you prefer a more traditional suit then a three-button single breasted with pleated trousers would be a good alternative, and remember: you can’t go wrong with navy blue.

One of the men’s jackets from the Hackett range, for example, would be the perfect partner for any summer wedding.
