Andy, Founder of @houndstoothtailors in a heavily textured @loropiana super 150 wool/silk fabric, crunchy silk tie, @breitling watch and black @loakeshoesaustralia penny loafers talks about why this suits is his choice for One Outfit For Life.

If you could only wear one outfit, what would it be and why?

A classic midnight navy two-piece suit, a denim shirt, black tie and black penny loafers. For the suit itself, the cut, design and fabric are everything. The silhouette is timeless, softly tailored rather than overly structured. It features unpadded shoulders, patch pockets, a 3-roll-2 front, centre vent and a notch lapel. The trousers have side adjusters, braces and a cuffed hem, all details that elevate the look while keeping it relaxed. Ideally, I’d make it in either a high-twist British cloth with a little more weight or a luxurious lightweight Italian fabric. British cloths hold their shape beautifully and drape exceptionally well, even after plenty of wear and travel. Italian fabrics offer a softer handle and lighter weight, making them perfect for the warmer months. The denim shirt softens the tailoring while still feeling refined, especially when paired with a black knitted tie. Finishing the outfit with black Loake penny loafers strikes the perfect balance between elegance and versatility.

How does this collection of clothes allow you to move between the various aspects of your life?

This combination can genuinely take you from the boardroom to the winery in the same day. Simply remove the tie for a more relaxed setting… or leave it on. It’s a classic combination for a reason. I certainly didn’t invent this look, but I’ve found it works perfectly with my colouring and personal style. As a tailor working in Melbourne’s CBD, I’m constantly moving between client appointments, fittings, business meetings and events. This outfit allows me to transition seamlessly through all of them while always feeling appropriately dressed.
