It’s very easy to make a case for suits. They’re easy to wear, they’re functional and provide hours of comfort. The right suit can be incredibly flattering and sophisticated and they inject something more into your average weekly wardrobe. They show you mean business without being too serious, and there’s ample opportunity to make a great suit your own by adding personal touches (your mother’s old vintage belt or your grandmother’s brooch, for example).

The colour-block suit, however, is the newer, sexier suit that’s a delicate blend of corporate and cool and perfect for hot days and cool evenings. A splash of colour will not only transform a regular suit into a ‘wow’ piece, but it will give you a boost in your mood, too. You don’t have to have a science degree to know that our mood can be greatly affected by dreary weather and our choice in clothes. With midnight blues and cerulean to unapologetic red and graceful blush pinks, its time to reinvent and invigorate your suit repertoire. Dress yours with pared-back white sneakers (like these Alexander McQueen’s) or sophisticated slingbacks from Uterque Still not convinced? Scroll ahead to discover ten shades of suits for an instant transformation.
