Suits: questions and Band 8 answers

Not very often, to be honest. I usually work from home in casual knitwear or T-shirts, so I only ever dig out my navy suit when there is a job interview or a formal dinner. It tends to stay tucked away in the wardrobe most of the year.

Most people dress up in suits for special events like weddings, graduations, and funerals. You also see business professionals, especially in banking or corporate law, wearing them every day at the office to look polished and project a serious image.

I definitely lean towards casual attire. While putting on a sharp blazer can make you feel quite sophisticated, comfort is key for me day to day. I much prefer throwing on a pair of comfortable trousers and a relaxed jumper.

Yes, just once. I had a two-piece suit custom-made for my brother's wedding a couple of years ago. The tailor took all my measurements to ensure a perfect fit, and although it was fairly pricey, the difference in quality was incredible.

I reckon they will, though probably less frequently. Workplaces are definitely becoming more relaxed with their dress codes, but suits will always have a place for grand ceremonies and state events where tradition and elegance matter.
