Suit hire is typically utilised by people that are going to attend a graduation ceremony, attend a university, school or charity ball, and of course t attend a wedding. Each of these occasions demands that the attendee makes a special effort and as a result many choose to wear a special style of suit. The style of suit generally differs between each event and making sure that you are appropriately attired is important. After all if you are dressed well you will no doubt impress all of your friends and family members. Finding the right suit for the right occasion is part of the excitement. So what are the different types of suits and what occasions are they suitable for?
Prince Edwards
The Prince Edward style suit is a contemporary style suit that is perfect for any big day or occasion. It is most popular with people that are attending weddings. It is a three quarter length suit that can be worn with matching plan trousers or for a more flamboyant look with striped trousers. The suit can also be dressed up with colourful accessories and as a result it is a good option for people that want to expand upon classic looks to wear something that has a hint of the modern.
The costs of hiring a prince Edward suit are comparable to any other suit. This can range from 35 pounds upward to 200 pounds depending on what you are looking for. It is always advisable that you make use of the internet to hunt around for the best deal and take time to pick the right suit for you before you limit yourself to a single company.
Tailcoats
Tailcoats are the established favourite for people attending weddings. It is a traditional looking style of suit that originates from the 19th century. It was traditionally developed for horse riding and as a result it is cut away at the knees and that is why it has such a distinctive look. The tails at the rear of the suit can in theory be tied back out of the way for riding a horse.
Although not many people ride in their jackets they are still a very popular option. They provide a really traditional and striking look suitable for a formal event. They are extremely distinctive suits that look great in a number of different colours such as traditional black, navy or modern grey and look classic in any scenario.
Short jackets
Short jackets take the more traditional look and make it more contemporary. They have a shorter cut which is flattering and provide a look of understated elegance to the wearer. The look can be supplemented with traditional monotone trousers or for and added touch striped trousers. The look can be made more contemporary with the addition of colourful accessories so that you can personalise the look.
