Fifty shades of Gray’s…

Finding the suit that’s right for you requires a little thought & consideration, as Dale Rhodes explains

During the past 25 years visiting hundreds of chambers and law firms up and down the country, from Dewsbury County Court to the Old Bailey and Royal Courts of Justice, measuring up pupils, partners, judges and silks (in no particular order) I have made thousands of grey suits.

The classic grey suit has been hanging in wardrobes of barristers and solicitors for many years. Finding the right grey suit requires a little thought and consideration.

First, how many suits have you got in your wardrobe and do you rotate them on a daily basis?

If you are on a budget choose a plain colour and consider ordering extra trousers or skirts to get more longevity from your purchase. To avoid the look of a “one suit wonder” choose a variety of shirts/blouses etc to help pull the wool over the eyes of your audience and create the illusion of having more than the one suit.
