Wear a suit to the office. It’s a special occasion…

Savile Row designer Ozwald Boateng says it's time for a smarter look, tailored to a new era of hybrid working

He's the designer famed for reviving Savile Row tailoring in the Cool Britannia era of the 90s with his sleek, jewel-coloured suits. Since then, office attire has become less formal and working from home has taken off, yet Ozwald Boateng believes rumours of the death of the suit are greatly exaggerated.

As he prepared to show at London fashion week on Monday after a 12-year absence, he told the Observer that he believes the suit will be seen as less an everyday work uniform and more as special occasion wear - but with many of those going into an office just two or three days a week making more of an effort and opting to dress more formally.
