You may not have to wear a suit to the office anymore, but that doesn’t mean they've lost staple status. If anything, the fact that they're no longer the uniform of commutes, croissant crumbs and Q3 catch-ups only adds to their appeal.

Rest assured, the suit will continue to be an important addition to any wardrobe, and arguably no suit is more important than a navy one. These humble and versatile two-pieces fulfil a range of roles, carrying you through wedding season (or, indeed, your own wedding) and beyond.

Needless to say, what with it being the most ubiquitous colour in the tailoring world, options are plentiful. They come in a myriad of shapes and sizes – from single breasted and slim fit to casual unstructured suits or statement-making double breasted options – and that’s before you even get into the different price points on offer. With that in mind, we’ve pulled together 10 of the best navy suits out there today.

Tom Ford

Mr Porter

Blazer

Trousers

Tom Ford is a self-confessed tailoring traditionalist, and this design shows why he loves his old school suits. With its notch lapels, structured shoulders and comfortable fit, the Shelton is an absolute classic. The use of a subtle Prince of Wales check only adds to the traditional feeling.

Arket

Blazer

Trousers

Arket finds the perfect balance with its semi-constructed tailoring, managing to be both relaxed and formal. The hopsack construction is another nice touch, giving the suit an airy feel that is naturally crinkle-resistant. Perfect for throwing in a suitcase for a destination wedding.

Sunspel

Matchesfashion

Trousers

Sunspel’s unstructured navy suit comes in a comfortable cotton and linen blend construction, meaning it’s a comfortable and lightweight choice for summer. As if that wasn’t enough, the comfort factor is further increased by the elasticated waist on the trousers.

Polo Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren

Trousers

The Polo Suit from Ralph Lauren brings all the label’s preppy history together into a comfortable and relaxed piece. The jacket features a natural collar, and the dye gives the suit a worn-in, relaxed look.

While Reiss’ tailoring might look pretty straightforward, the label has devoted its attention to making the suit as easy to wear as possible. Achieved with a subtle stretch in the wool-blend fabric, which also helps to maintain its shape, comfort is key here.
