TOM FORD

Shelton-fit single-breasted straight wool suit

Tom Ford is an icon of sartorial suit-making, so it's hardly surprising to find this two-piece in the American designer-turned-film director's latest capsule. Designed for the fanciest of events, it's cut with a classic fit through the trousers and with the signature Shelton fit through the blazer. As for comfort? Check out the double back vents up top and you won't be disappointed; they make light work of sitting during formal dinners.
