When it comes to timeless style, nothing beats the classic English elegance, particularly the iconic three-piece suit. Originally introduced by King Charles II in 1666, this game-changing look added a vest to move English aristocrats away from French trends. Fast forward to the 19th century, and Beau Brummell’s “dandy” look of sharp, tailored trousers and dark coats redefined men’s fashion, saying goodbye to breeches.
Post-WWII, the three-piece suit became a go-to for formal occasions, with the more relaxed two-piece suit taking over in the mid-20th century. However, the Teddy Boys kept the three-piece suit alive with their bold, tailored looks. The English style went global in the 1970s, when brands like Ralph Lauren started borrowing from this classic menswear.
So, what makes the English style iconic? It’s all in the details. Think sleek two- or three-piece suits in timeless patterns like houndstooth, herringbone, and pinstripes, crafted from luxurious fabrics like tweed and wool. To complete the look, pair with accessories like bow ties, caps, and brogues. At Sparkpick, we’ve put a modern twist on this heritage with two styles: Jockey (Derby) and Business Casual.
Jockey Style captures that British equestrian flair with structured blazers, riding boots, and tailored silhouettes, perfect for a Derby-inspired look. Business Casual takes English menswear’s classic tailoring and gives it a polished yet relaxed vibe, making it perfect for the modern wardrobe.
