Connolly

Connolly takes a more contemporary approach to classic menswear silhouettes. Favouring a unisex style with an elegant drape and soft contours, it’s a far cry from the sharp shoulders and paper-cut lapels of Savile Row. Designer Marc Audibet is a genius with the shears, creating versatile tailoring that can be dressed up or down with ease.

Drake’s

Michael Drake’s eponymous brand, founded in 1977, has built a devoted following of young tailoring aficionados who crave interesting fabrics without a brow-raising price tag. In fact, Drake’s is probably the best-value tailoring brand in London right now and customer service in its Clifford Street shop is second to none. The Easyday suiting range is a steal for elegant business attire. For weekends, its corduroy options will have everyone asking where you got your suit from.

Edward Sexton

One of the icons of British bespoke tailoring, Edward Sexton has never deviated from a distinctly romantic aesthetic, taking inspiration from the art deco period of the 1920s and ’30s. Based in Knightsbridge, Sexton’s small atelier still produces some of the sharpest and most flamboyant cuts in London, with strong, firmly roped shoulders providing a powerfully masculine look. His high-waisted Hollywood pleated trousers are also a must for those who prefer old-world nostalgia over new-world hype.
