Whether you’re a busy CEO or an established lawyer, it can be difficult to find the time to cultivate sartorial style, especially both in and out of the office. Luckily, Maxwell – Scott is here to guide you with these step-by-step tips…
We recommend…
The Paolo3: a handsome, Italian leather briefcase with a classic design. Featuring a smart, vegetable-tanned leather exterior, it’s the perfect accessory for any professional or casual outfit.
Curating a capsule wardrobe is a must to achieve sartorial style. The word sartorial may make you think of suiting, but it’s not all about rigid tailoring. It’s the subtlest shades and layers that can make all the different to your style. Invest in a light-weight, cashmere roll-neck for layering under blazers.
Selecting minimalist fabrics and simple shades will help you to gradually build a capsule collection. You’ll easily be able style these with your favourite suits. Choosing a high-quality, casual blazer to use as a wardrobe staple is always a good idea. A simple blazer can add class to the most casual summer outfits. Opt for a lightweight design for a blazer that you can easily take off and on, and even store in your briefcase.

A simple, roll-neck cashmere sweater to slip under your blazers, or to wear on its own with tailored pants. We’d also recommend a brown blazer – it will go with more than you think and is perfect for summer, softening your look more than black.
When discovering your own sartorial identity, it’s always a great idea to take a little inspiration. If there’s a gentleman whose style you admire, there’s no harm in taking notes of the specific garments of their wardrobe that inspire you. If you’ve seen a skinny blazer worn well and prefer the cut to your regular fit jacket, try incorporating it into your wardrobe.
Taking inspiration from style icons is an easy way to transcend your comfort zone. Johannes Huebl, for example, is well known for his immaculately curated outfits and sartorial style. If you’ve spotted a look that you think is stylish on a gentleman like Johannes, you’ll be more inspired to try it yourself. Bloggers, notable business figures and influencers are always a great place to start.
We’re talking about the briefcase or bag that exudes style and finesse as soon as you walk into a room. It goes with absolutely any outfit, and it’s the epitome of your sartorial style. Don’t settle for a throwaway high-street bag – find a briefcase or shoulder bag that you can truly rely on. The perfect bag will take you from casual affairs to the most upmarket soirees. It must be high-quality, and this must show.
If you choose leather, make sure you opt for full-grain. This is the strongest type of leather, made from the uppermost layer of cowhide, meaning it will last you much, much longer than a regular leather bag. We pride ourselves on the quality of our bags: all of our bags are handcrafted from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, ensuring maximum longevity and premium quality.
