Prince of Wales Suits

What is a Prince of Wales suit?

A Prince of Wales suit features one of menswear's most distinguished patterns: a large-scale check created by overlapping lines, often with a subtle overcheck in a contrasting colour. Made famous by the Duke of Windsor, this British classic signals sophistication and sartorial confidence. It's a pattern that commands attention while remaining refined.

When can I wear a Prince of Wales suit?

Prince of Wales suits work beautifully for business settings where you want to stand out subtly. They're excellent for client meetings, presentations, and creative industries. The pattern also shines at weddings, races, and upscale social events. It's more casual than solid suits, so save it for when some personality is appropriate.

How do I style a Prince of Wales suit?

Let the pattern be the star. Pair with a solid shirt – white or light blue keeps things balanced. For ties, choose solid colors or simple textures that don't compete. Burgundy, navy, or forest green ties complement the gray tones in most Prince of Wales patterns beautifully.

What colors are available in Prince of Wales?
